Buying a double tandem pushchair Infant Stroller
A double stroller is a great option for parents to take multiple children. The best models are easy to fold and carry, fit well in a car trunk and have a variety of seating options for children of different age groups.
If your children are close in age, you may decide that a sit-and stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid fighting between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like the options that accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 Double.
Comfort
A stroller that is comfortable is essential for both your toddler and baby. Choose a stroller with cushioned seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth road bumps. Also, select one with buckles that are easily removed and fastened.
You can also search for a generous UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection and plenty of coverage for both kids. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests, which let your child sit up in the back seat if they are tired. Some double strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.
The number of seats you can put in your stroller depends on the ages and weights of the children riding in it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both kids at the same time and is ideal for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's generally larger than other configurations and can be challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or in areas with a lot of people.
On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push the baby in an infant car seat. It's not ideal for newborns however, it could be a good fit when your kids are around three years old and can walk longer distances.
Another option is a convertible stroller, that has multiple seating options and can be used as a double or single for several years. Rebecca says that this type of stroller is an ideal choice for parents who intend to purchase a single stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model but it'll last for many years and has a great resale price, she adds.
This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It's not as compact as the other strollers we've tested however it does have a sleek, modern design and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and has an adjustable handlebar that can be telescopically adjusted and brakes that are easy to press. It comes with foam-filled wheels that won't sag and a large storage bin.
Easy of Use
A double stroller is not an inexpensive investment, which is why parents are often looking for an option that is easy to use. That means a wide range of features, from the ability to fold it compactly to adjusting the handlebar height for different users, should be readily available. Some models come with more than one storage compartment to allow families to divide up belongings for quick access, as well as parent consoles or organizer bags to keep phones, keys and other necessities in reach.
A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs as they grow older also. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. It lets you add a second hand double buggy seat, transform the stroller into a triple with the addition of a board, or change it to a single mode by adding a bench at the rear. This flexibility allows a double stroller to last for as long as it is needed.
When it comes to maneuverability, some side-byside models struggle to turn on a dime, but many of our Lab testers appreciated the ease-of-use and maneuverability of the inline Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model accepts all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins or children of different ages. Its telescoping handlebar and simple-to-use brakes make it more maneuverable over the other double strollers we've tried.
The UPPAbaby vist v2 double on the other hand has a sleek design and an ample basket that can hold two toddler car seats or an infant car seat with a standard child's seat. It can also be used by a single child up to the age of three and is a smooth ride due to its tires filled with foam that are made to not go flat.
The UPPAbaby folds in half, making it easy to store and carry. It's also very light, weighing only 18 pounds. It's also easy to open and close using a latch, and requires no tools to assemble. Our Lab experts selected it as the best choice for its value, affordability and long-term durability.
Easy of Storage
Double strollers must be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets and the wallets, keys and phones of parents. They also need to be able to glide over different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use, they are often required to fit into the trunk of a vehicle.
To meet the needs of parents Double strollers can be constructed in a variety of designs.

Some are suited for jogging, while others can be used for hiking trails and at the beach.
Modular designs are especially useful for families who need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example is designed to permit parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments and car seats so that the stroller can serve the family from birth until toddlerhood.
Other modular double buggy for twins strollers such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be modified to fit a single child through the use of bassinet or baby seat or a toddler's with an elevated seat or a standing board (sold separately).

If you're in the market for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side or in a line, make sure it is JPMA-certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It will also undergo regular inspections. You'll also want to look for an adjustable suspension system that gives a smooth ride and doesn't cause bumps, or jostling for the children in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with an armrest, make sure that it is adjustable to accommodate the different heights.
A canopy is an additional feature that protects your babies from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopies have an reversible flap as well as a clear plastic peek-a-boo window to let you monitor your children without causing disturbance. Certain canopies come with visors that block direct sunlight.
