Strollers For Twins and Toddlers Whether you're taking the kids to a stroll in the park or taking to the road for a morning jog, a quality double stroller can help you get where you need to get to. Our top picks are simple to use, come with comfortable harnesses for seated children and provide some flexibility based on the demands of the day. Strollers for twins When twins are added to the mix, it can be an issue for parents. Finding the ideal stroller for two children can be a challenge. There are a variety of options for twin babies and toddlers. Whether you want a tandem stroller or a side-by-side one, you can find one that is suitable for your family's lifestyle. Some strollers are compatible with twin infant car seats as well as bassinets. The most important thing to consider when choosing a stroller for twins is the age of the child. Newborns should have seats that fully recline, allowing them to lie flat. They should also have a canopy that is large enough to offer shade and the option of a peekaboo window. Some models also allow breastfeeding, and have a specially designed recliner chair that allows mothers to feed their twins. If your twins have a similar age range it is possible to think about a side by side stroller. This will help prevent sibling fights over who is where and will help them feel more connected. If, however, they're quite different in age or temperament, a tandem stroller may be more appropriate. Most twin strollers can be used at birth, but when your children are younger than 6 months old, you will need to choose an option that can be used with infant car seats or bassinets. For instance the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double has seating that can be affixed to a pair of infant car seat carriers and can accommodate a newborn twin. It's worth noting that this model is on the pricey side and it could be a good idea to look for an option that is more affordable for your twins if you're planning to start using a stroller from birth. A stroller that is modular is a great option. It has a seat at the front, and a platform for standing children to the rear. While these aren't as versatile as other options with dual seats however, they are suitable for older kids and can be used for a number of years. double stroller with bassinet is a good choice for this, since it can be used with two infant car seats and comes with an optional running board for mobile older kids. Strollers for multiple children If you have two kids similar in age, a double stroller might be necessary. Double strollers are larger heavier, more expensive and heavier however they are much more maneuverable when two children are onboard. They can be especially helpful if you have one infant and a toddler, since they can be positioned together instead of in front of each other, allowing both of them to view the world around them. The ideal stroller is determined by a variety of aspects such as how far apart in age your kids are and whether they can sit without help. If you have twins, a tandem stroller is the best choice; it can also work for siblings who aren't yet old enough to step free of a car seat. If you have a significant age gap, it's best to choose a convertible stroller. It can grow with your kids and even accept an the infant car seat (not all do). It is important to consider the space you have available in your house or vehicle for a double-stroller. They can be large and heavy when folded and they're not always easy to fit into tight spaces or the trunk of the car. Think about where you live as well, because city dwellers often face narrow sidewalks, cramped apartment living spaces, as well as narrow hallways and doors. Side-by-side strollers that are narrow and inline doubles are the best choices for these situations. If you live in the suburbs however, you'll want a spacious stroller that is comfortable and has plenty of storage and an extra-wide base for rough terrain. The quality of the wheels and suspension will determine how well it can glide on uneven surfaces, carpeting, grass, and other obstacles. In general, a double stroller with swivel lock front wheels and a smooth suspension is likely to offer the best stability. If you're looking for a low-cost option, the G-Link 2 is an excellent lightweight double stroller with some luxurious features that make it much easier to move up and down the stairs than you'd expect. With just 22 pounds, it's even more impressive considering that it comes with two baby seats as well as plenty of storage for both. Strollers for older children Strollers have changed a lot from the bulky 1980s models some older parents might remember. Double strollers of today are sleek, and they offer a variety of customizations that will support families on many family outings. They can be used by children from birth, if used with a bassinet or infant car seat. They can also be used in tandem and side-by-side options. They are smaller and easier to move around than tandem strollers, especially in stores with crowded aisles and at tight sidewalk corners. They are usually less expensive than convertible strollers. Tandem strollers are more spacious and have smaller spaces for the two seats and might require additional space in the garage to park. They can be used for infants up to 4 or 5. The best tandem strollers have an incline seating design that places the child in front of them higher so both kids can see. Some of these seats recline or come in an upright position for children who are older. When selecting a stroller for your family, consider the length of time you plan to use it for. The majority of strollers we tested last for a few years, but you'll want to think about your family's growth as well as your budget. If you plan to use it for a long period of time, you'll also have to consider the cost of replacing the stroller's tires, and possibly accessories like the child's tray for snacks or canopy as your children get older. Before you make any final decisions make sure that the stroller has Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification, comes with brakes that are easy to use, lockable swivel wheels, and is not a victim of recalls that have occurred in recent years. Alli Cavasino, a certified child safety technician recommends stroller pushers to prioritize adjustable handlebars and the ability to move seats up or down the frame quickly using straightforward frame clips, especially for parents who are not in the typical height range. Any stroller that's worth its salt must fold almost completely. And, of course it's essential to practice good posture while pushing the stroller, so that you don't risk back injuries or other health issues. Strollers for Joggers If you're a parent who prefers to stroller-jog rather than jog, then a double stroller equipped with a good suspension system will give your kids a smooth ride. Look for a stroller with adjustable seat heights, reclining seats and spacious cargo areas that are able to hold all of your gear and kiddos' essentials. You should look for a stroller that has a sturdy brake system as well as an adjustable canopy that can block out the elements like wind and sun. This will ensure your child's comfort and safety. If your children are different ages, you'll need a versatile stroller that can accommodate an infant who wants to lay flat and a toddler who prefers to sit up and take in the view. The Vista V2 stroller by UPPAbaby lets you combine the included Toddler Seat and an add-on RumbleSeat to accommodate up two children. You'll be impressed by the ample storage space and convenient plastic trays that hold the drinks of the child and adult and also the large UPF50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window. Parents who must travel with their double stroller, you'll want an item that folds quickly and compactly, so it can fit in small trunks or overhead compartments for trains, planes and automobiles. The Thule Caboose Ultralight Graphite is one of our favorite models. It folds down with one hand and can be pushed along like rolling luggage. The seats can be reclined in various positions, and the harnesses are simple to adjust without the need to rethread the shoulder straps. A double stroller of good quality is a purchase you will often use regardless of whether you are jogging in your neighborhood or through the busy city. Look for sturdy, durable frames with strong suspension and wheels that are designed to last. Select a model that offers smooth navigation on different surfaces and that is easy to move around. We recommend strollers that have locking wheels that swivel, making them more maneuverable in narrow aisles, or when parking.
