Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller that includes an infant car seat can be a necessity when you have twins or kids with similar ages. When you're planning to buy a stroller, you should consider your budget and the length of time you plan to utilize it.

Kate liked the fact that the stroller was lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also appreciated how easily it folded, but found the buckles that are magnetic difficult to secure.

Size

Size is a major factor to consider when choosing a double stroller that comes with car seats for your infant. Parents must be able navigate the stroller with ease on crowded sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means it should be fairly small and compact. The stroller must also be compact and easy to fold, so that it can fit into the trunk of a small vehicles.

Think about a double stroller that has two seats and is able to accommodate infant car seat in the event that you plan to have twins or children that are close in age. These models will be more expensive than other double strollers, however, they come with a longer stroller life and can be used through toddlerhood or even past. Our top pick, the UPPAbaby Double, offers a range of seating configurations. It can accept two infant seats or toddler seats that can be converted into bassinets.

We also like strollers that work with a range of infant car seats. This allows families to have a wider selection to choose from. The UPPAbaby vista, for example is compatible with the UPPAbaby mesha as well as other infant car seats that come with adapters. It is also compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third person standing.

Some parents opt to purchase a single-to-double stroller that can adapt to an additional child, but we recommend purchasing what you need at the right time. The second child may arrive later than you anticipated or your first child might not be a fan of walking. The type of seating in a double stroller, which includes an infant car seat could affect the relationship between siblings particularly if they are close in age.

Weight

Double strollers are heavier than single strollers. They have two seats and more cargo, so the weight of the final pushing load is greater. It is important to consider this weight when deciding on your preferred model, especially 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 swaying.

You should also consider the durability of double-strollers. The more expensive models have a quality build and seating configuration versatility that indicates they'll last longer than budget-friendly rivals. The joovy qool double bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for single and double stroller two infant car seats and can accommodate a second child by attaching a bassinet. This setup is suitable for twins, kids of different ages or siblings with a gap in age.

For those on a tight budget, they might consider the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go an appealing option since it accepts two infant car seats and can convert into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's light and compact and easy to maneuver, despite the extra weight.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and supports multiple seating options for children with different ages and stage. Its side-by-side seat design allows for twins or kids with varying ages. Additionally, it can be customized by adding accessories like dual canopy, twin strollers for newborns bassinets or modified seats that double as toddler seats. This versatile stroller also has a relatively quick fold and a compact footprint, making it easier to be tucked away in the trunk. It's not intended to be used until children can sit up unassisted, however, so younger babies will need to be carried or put in a car seat.

Convenience

It is more convenient and less stressful take your family on a vacation when you can transfer your infant's car seat seamlessly from the vehicle to the stroller. Rather than attempting to fold a stroller while keeping one hand on the infant and the other on a toddler, you can just click the seat into position and begin moving. This feature is particularly helpful during long trips, in which you do not need to unbuckle or re-buckle your child every few minutes.

Many parents with twins choose an option that can accommodate two infant car seat at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this functionality, and also has an adjustable bench seat that can be used by older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all kinds of infant car seats, and it's a little heavy for certain families.

Other parents prefer a double stroller with an integrated car seat adapter that can be used with all major infant car seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent choice and is available at a very friendly price for what you get. Although it's not the most ideal double stroller for infant twins (it can only be used with one), it can work well for a variety of families and is a good option for those looking for a single purchase.

Some double strollers feature a more complex process for attaching and detaching the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist Double, for example, requires you to press down and then hear an audible click to confirm it's securely secured. It's more difficult to use in parking areas, especially when you have hungry or tired children. As it grows with your family, we don’t think it's the best travel double stroller choice for parents of twins. You will have purchase an additional toddler chair once your children reach an age.

Durability

A double stroller with infant car seat needs to be built to last. It should also fit your budget and lifestyle whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or several years. When purchasing a stroller be sure to consider the fabric of the stroller and its components, such as its tires.

Find a stroller that has a large and deep storage basket that can hold plenty of diapers, food items and other necessities. A large console for parents with cup holders is also useful, as is a sun canopy which provides adequate coverage. Also, make sure the stroller can be able to handle off-road terrain as well as narrow city sidewalks.

Parents of twins may prefer a side-by-side by side double stroller stroller for the same level of visibility and accessibility to both children, whereas parents with children of different ages might choose a tandem model that allows the rear child to be raised or lower. Tandem strollers are bulkier than single strollers and could cause siblings to fight, especially if they have seats at different heights.

A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar will allow you to adjust the height to suit your preferences. Also having a one-hand folding mechanism is convenient. A compact footprint is a further feature to consider. It should fit easily into your trunk and require minimal storage space.

A stroller that is modular like the CYBEX Gazelle S offers unparalleled flexibility that lets you mix and match seating units as well as cot attachments for multiples, twins, or a single rider of varying age. The sturdy construction and flexibility in seating configurations make it a worthy investment if you plan to keep it for many years to come.

Safety

A great stroller should be safe for children in the seats as well as the parent who pushes them. Alli Cavasino is a certified child passenger safety technician, suggests you look for strollers that have ergonomic handlebars with easy-to-use breaks and a harness that can be adjusted. She also advises avoiding any accessories that increase the weight of a stroller, such as ride-on boards or extra child seats.

A double stroller must be strong enough to traverse different surfaces easily including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should be strong enough to traverse curbs and bumps with ease and yet flexible enough for navigating a steep incline or climbing and descending stairways. It should also be easy to fold up and fit into the trunk of a car without compromising its size or maneuverability.

Parents with twins or siblings close in age will be looking at a stroller that can fit two car seats for infants. This will allow them to have the flexibility to move sleeping children from the car to a stroller without waking them. Many of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with two infant car seats such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Another alternative is the joovy Qool cheap double buggy bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an extra Rumble seat that can be converted into a second seat once your children are old enough for their car seat. It has stadium-style seating with plenty of space for legs and is able to be set to let your kids meet each other and 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.
