Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller offers parents with multiple children a comfortable way to get their children around. The best models are reasonably simple to fold and transport and fit nicely inside a trunk of a car, and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of different age groups.

Comfort

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand while you push a younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best choice for infants, but it can be useful for older children who can walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is a different option. It comes with a variety of seating options and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is an excellent option for parents who only want to buy one stroller but plan to use it with two kids. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice however it will last an extended period of time and comes with an excellent resale value, she adds.

You might even find one that fits the car seat of your infant, making it even more convenient to go out and about with two kids in the stroller.

If you're looking for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side, or in a line, make sure that it's JPMA-certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It will also go through regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system gives an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller has a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

When choosing a double stroller to buy, consider the age difference between your children and the type of trip you intend to take them on. If your children are close in age, you could opt for a tandem high/low stroller to allow them to be together on outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a large age gap it is possible to choose a side-byside model that offers them more privacy.
