Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller with an infant car seat is a necessity for twins or two children with similar ages. If you are planning to purchase one, you must take into consideration your budget and how long you hope to use the stroller for.

Kate liked that the stroller was light and easy to maneuver. She also liked the ease with which it folded, but found the buckles that are magnetic difficult to fasten.

Size

When selecting a double stroller with baby car seats, size is a crucial aspect to consider. Parents should be able to move the stroller comfortably on busy sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means that it should be fairly small and compact. The stroller must also be compact and easy to fold so that it can fit in a vehicle trunk or small vehicles.

If you are planning to have twins or children that are very close in age, consider getting a double stroller with bassinet stroller that has two seats that can be able to accommodate infant car seats. Double strollers are more expensive however, they last longer and can be used until toddlerhood or beyond. Our top pick is the UPPAbaby V2 Double, has a variety of seating configurations. It can accept two toddler seats or infant seats that convert into bassinets.

We also love strollers that work with many different infant car seat brands which means that there is a wider selection of models for families to choose from. The UPPAbaby vista, for example can be used with the UPPAbaby mesha and other infant car seats with adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third standing passenger.

Some parents choose to buy a stroller that is single-to-double and can adapt to the needs of a second child, but we recommend buying what you need at the moment. A second child could arrive later than you expect, or your first kid may not take to walking. Additionally, the type of seating in a double stroller with infant car seat can have a major impact on siblings, particularly for kids that are very close in age.

Weight

Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. They come with two seats and more cargo, so the weight of the final pushing load is greater. It's crucial to take into account this weight when deciding on the best model, particularly when you'll be using it for long jogs or walks. The best models are well-engineered to withstand the extra weight with minimal flexing or shifting.

It's also worth considering the cost of a double stroller against its longevity. The more expensive models have a good build and seating flexibility, which means they'll last longer than budget-friendly rivals. The joovy Qool double bundle is a good example. It accepts car seat adapters to fit two infant carseats. It also can accommodate a second child through an attachable bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, kids of different ages or siblings who have a gap in age.

The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a great choice for parents on a tight budget because it can be transformed into a tandem stroller (single file) and can accommodate two infant car seat. It's lightweight and compact making it easy to move around even with the additional weight.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly alternative. It's comparable to more expensive award winners and supports multiple seating configurations for kids of different ages and stages. Its side-by-side seat design is able to accommodate twins or children of various age groups. It can also be customized by adding additional features like twin strollers for newborns bassinets or dual canopies. This versatile stroller also has a quick fold and a compact footprint, making it easier to be tucked away in the trunk. It's not designed to be used until kids are able to sit without assistance, so younger babies will require a carry or placed in a car seat.

Convenience

Transferring your infant's car seat from the car into the stroller can make family outings easier and less stressful. Instead of trying to fold the stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and another on a toddler, you can simply click the seat in place and start moving. This is particularly useful for long trips when you may not need to unbuckle or buckle your child every few minutes.

Parents of twins usually prefer a travel system that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for example, offers this feature and comes with the added benefit of having a bench seat for older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all types of infant car seats, and it's too heavy for certain families.

Some parents choose a double-stroller equipped with an integrated car seat adapter that works with all major infant car safety seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a fantastic value for the features it provides. While it's not the ideal double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it is only compatible with one), it can work well for a wide range of families and is an excellent option if you're looking for a one-and-done purchase.

Some double strollers feature a more complex method of attaching and disconnecting the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double for instance, requires you to press down and then hear a loud click to ensure it's securely secured. It's a little more difficult to use in parking lots particularly if you have hungry or exhausted children. While it can grow with the family, we don't believe it's the best choice for parents of twins as you'll have to purchase a separate toddler seat when your kids are old enough for it.

Durability

A double stroller with an infant car seat should be built to last and have longevity. It should also suit your budget and lifestyle whether you plan to use the stroller for a few or many years. When you are making a purchase be sure to consider the fabric of the stroller as well as its components, such as its tires.

A stroller with a big and deep basket can hold plenty of diapers, groceries, and other things. A large console for parents with cup holders is also beneficial, as is a sun canopy that provides adequate coverage. Make sure that the stroller is able to handle off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks.

Parents of twins may choose an equilateral stroller to give equal visibility and access to both children. However, parents with children of different ages might prefer a tandem style that allows the rear child to be lowered or raised. Tandem strollers are typically larger than single strollers however, and could cause sibling fights in the event that the seats are different heights.

A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also the one-hand folding mechanism is convenient. Another thing to look for is a compact footprint that fits comfortably in your trunk, and requires little storage space.

A twin stroller side by side that is modular, such as the CYBEX Gazelle, offers unmatched flexibility. You can mix and combine the seating units and cots to accommodate multiples, twins or one child of different ages. The sturdy construction and the flexibility of seating arrangements make it a worthy purchase if you intend to keep it for many years.

Safety

A good stroller should be safe for children riding in the seats as well as the parent pushing them. Certified child safety technician Alli Cavasino recommends looking for a stroller with ergonomic handlebars, simple brakes and a seat harness that can be adjusted. She also suggests avoiding accessories that increase the burden of a stroller like ride-on boards or extra child seats.

A double twin stroller should be sturdy enough to navigate a variety of surfaces smoothly including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should be sturdy enough to handle bumps and curbs easily but also flexible enough to scale steep steps or negotiate steep slopes. In addition, it should be simple to fold and fit into a trunk of a car without any compromise in size or maneuverability.

Parents of twins or children close in age will need to think about a stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants. This allows them to move asleep children from the car to the stroller without having them wake up. A majority of our top-scoring strollers can be used with two car seats for infants such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Another alternative is the joovy Qool double bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters are sold separately) and includes an additional rumble seat that transforms into a second one when your kids outgrow their car seat. It offers stadium-style seating with plenty of room for legs and can be configured to let your kids interact with each other or the world. It can't accept two bassinets or an infant car seat or riding board simultaneously, but it's a great option for families with several young children.
