Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is an ideal option for parents to take multiple children. The best models are lightweight and easy to fold and carry and fit nicely in the trunk of a car and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of various ages.

If your children are similar in age, you could find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best way to avoid sibling fights over which seat to use. We also recommend options that can accommodate two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Comfort

It is essential that your baby and toddler are comfortable in the stroller. Select one with cushioned seats, a large base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps on the road, and buckles that are simple to fasten and unfasten.

Choose a big UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children and their parents. Footrests that can be adjusted allow your child to sit in the rear seat if they are tired. Some double travel buggy strollers provide this option to both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the best seller.

The number of seats in your stroller will be determined by the weight and age of the children who will be using it.
