Buying a Double Infant Stroller
A double stroller is a great option for parents to take multiple children. The best strollers are simple to fold and transport and can easily fit inside a trunk of a car, and have a variety of seating options for children of various age groups.
Parents with children of a similar age may find a side-by-side or sit-and-stand style works best to avoid sibling squabbles about who is allowed to ride in which seat. We also like the options that allow two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby v2 double.
Comfort
It is essential that your toddler and baby are both at ease in the stroller. Select one with cushioned seats, a large base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road, and buckles that are easy to unfasten and fasten.
Look for a large UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children and their parents. Footrests that can be adjusted allow your child to stand up in the rear seat when they're exhausted. Some double strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.
How many seats you choose in your stroller will depend on the weights and ages of the children that are using it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children at a time which is ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. However, it's typically wider than other models and can be challenging to maneuver through narrow 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 younger one in the infant car seat. It's not the best option for infants but it's an ideal choice when your children are about three years old and able to walk for longer distances.

It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it'll last for many years and has an excellent resale value, she adds.

A canopy is another essential feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopy features an reversible window or transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you monitor your child without causing disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.
Another important metric to consider is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds.

Also, strollers with only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis much easier to use.
When deciding which double stroller to buy, consider the age difference between your children as well as the type of excursion you plan to take the strollers on. For instance, if your children are similar in age it is possible to consider an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can interact when outings are planned. If your children are separated due to a large age gap you can select one which allows them to enjoy more privacy.
If you're planning to use your stroller to carry baby car seats, choose one with a high attachment score and compatible with top-rated brands. This will not have as big an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but is still crucial if you intend to use car seat adapters.
