Strollers For Twins and Toddlers A good double stroller can help you get to where you want to go, whether taking your kids on a walk in the park or heading for a morning run. Our top picks are simple to use and have comfortable harnesses that fit seated children. They also have the flexibility to be used based on the needs of the day. Strollers for twins A newborn baby is always a delight, however, when twins are in the picture, it could bring additional challenges to the everyday routine. Among them, choosing the right stroller to meet the requirements. There are many options available for toddlers and twins. If you're looking for a tandem or side-by-side stroller there is one to suit your family's lifestyle. Some strollers can accommodate twin infant car seats as well as bassinets. When selecting a twin stroller, the age of your child is the most important aspect to take into consideration. Seats for infants must be fully reclined to allow them to lay flat. They should also have a canopy that is large enough to provide real shade and include the option of a peekaboo window. In addition, some models are specifically designed to facilitate breastfeeding and come with an upholstered seat that allows mothers to breastfeed their twins. If your twins are close in age, it may be best to select an asymmetrical stroller. This will stop siblings from arguing over who is in the same seat and will make them feel more connected. However, if they are very different in age or temperament, a tandem stroller may be a better option. The majority of twin strollers are suitable from the time of birth. However, if you have babies less than six months old then you'll require a stroller that can accommodate infant car seat carriers or newborn bassinets. For example the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double has seating that can be connected to two infant car seat carriers, and will fit a newborn twin. It's worth noting that this model is on the expensive side and it could be a good idea to look for an option that is more affordable for twins if you're looking to use a stroller from birth. Another great choice is a modular stroller with a seat in the front and a platform at the back for children standing. These aren't quite as versatile as other double-seat options but they're great for older children and can be used for many years. The UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double is a good option for this, since it can be used with two infant car seats and has an optional running board for older children who are mobile. tandem double stroller for multiple children A double stroller is a must when you have two kids of similar age. Double strollers are bulkier and heavier, as well as more expensive but they are also easier to maneuver with two children in the same. These strollers are especially useful if you have an infant and toddler. They can be used together instead of facing one another which allows them to look around the world from a different perspective. The type of stroller you select is based on a variety of factors, like the distance your children are and if they're capable of sitting up on their own. A tandem stroller can be used by twins or siblings who aren't old enough to get out of their car seat. If you have a significant age gap, it is best to choose a convertible stroller. It can grow with your children and accept the infant car seat (not all do). You should think about the space available in your vehicle or home for a double-stroller. When folded they can be heavy and heavy. They are also difficult to fit into tiny spaces or the trunk of your car. Consider the location you live in as city dwellers typically face narrow sidewalks, tiny apartment living spaces, as well as narrow hallways and doors. In these instances narrow side-byside and inline strollers are ideal options. If you live in suburbia you'll want a spacious and comfortable stroller that comes with plenty of storage. It should also have a wider base so it can handle rough terrain. While any stroller can perform admirably on smooth surfaces however, the quality of its suspension and wheels will affect how smoothly it can glide over uneven or unpaved pathways carpeting, grass and other obstacles. In general the case of a double stroller, one with swivel lock wheels on the front and an easy suspension is likely to provide the best stability. The G-Link 2 is a lightweight double stroller that's easy maneuver up and down the stairs. With a weight of just under 22 pounds it's even more impressive when you consider that it has two large baby seats as well as plenty of storage for both of them. Strollers for older kids Strollers have evolved a lot from the bulky 1980s models some older parents may remember. Double strollers of these days are sleek and offer a range of options for customization that can help families on numerous family outings. They can be used by children from birth, when used in conjunction with a bassinet or infant car seat. They can also be used in tandem and side-by-side seating options. Side-by-side strollers are smaller than tandem models and are generally easier to maneuver, particularly in crowded store aisles and tight sidewalk corners. They tend to be less expensive than convertible models. Tandem strollers are usually larger, and have more space for the two seats, and require additional clearance in the garage. These models can accommodate kids from birth until age 5 or 4. The best tandem strollers are built with stadium seating that raises the child in front, so that both children are able to see. Some of these seats also recline or come in standing positions for children who are older. Think about how long you'll need to use the stroller. The majority of strollers we tested last for a number of years, but it's important to keep in mind your family's growth as well as budget. If you plan to use it for a long period of time, you'll also need to take into account the cost of replacing the stroller's tires, and possible accessories such as the child's tray for snacks or canopy as your children get older. Before making a choice, ensure that the stroller has been inspected by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA), has lockable swivels and easy-to-use breaks, as well as being free of recalls from recent times. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician recommends stroller pushers to look for adjustable handlebars as well as the ability to move seats up and down the frame quickly using simple frame clips, especially for parents who are not in the typical height range. Every stroller worth its weight should fold nearly effortlessly. Of course it's essential to practice good posture when pushing the stroller to ensure you don't have back pain or other health issues. Strollers for Joggers If you're a parent who prefers to stroller jog, a double stroller with an excellent suspension system will provide your children with a comfortable and smooth ride. It is recommended to choose an infant stroller with adjustable seat heights and reclining seats, as well as a large cargo space to store all your equipment and essentials for your kids. You'll also want to consider a stroller that has a reliable braking system and a canopy that can block the sun and wind to ensure your child's safety and comfort. If you have children of various age groups, a stroller that is versatile will allow both an infant to lay flat as well as an adult to sit upright and enjoy the view. The Vista V2 stroller by UPPAbaby provides a seating configuration that lets you pair the included Toddler Seat with an add-on RumbleSeat to accommodate a maximum of two children. You'll be pleased with the ample storage capacity and practical plastic trays that accommodate both drinks of the child and the adult and the extra-large UPF50+ canopy, which has a peekaboo window. If you need to travel with your double stroller, you should choose one that is able to be folded quickly and compactly. This will allow it to fit in the overhead compartments of planes, trains, and automobiles. The Thule Caboose Ultralight Graphite is one of our favorites. It folds with just one hand, and can be pushed along like rolling luggage. Its seats recline to multiple positions, and the harnesses come with buckles that are easy to fasten with a simple adjustment that doesn't require rethreading the shoulder straps. If you're strolling through the neighborhood or through the bustling city, a high-quality double stroller is a purchase you'll be using often. Choose sturdy, durable frames with sturdy suspension systems and wheels that are built to last. Choose a model that is able to navigate varied surfaces smoothly, and be sure that it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces. We recommend strollers with locks that rotate, making them easier to maneuver in narrow aisles, or when parking.
