Choosing a Twin Stroller
Created with active families in mind This twin stroller grows with your family from birth to toddlerhood. Testers are raving about the way it moves and how easily it folds.
It can be used with two infant car seats or bassinet-style seats, allowing you to begin using it from the beginning and avoid the need for an additional car seat. It is spacious with plenty of storage.
Lightweight
You'll need a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver twin stroller. You can navigate crowded streets swiftly and efficiently so you can concentrate on what's important: your children. A stroller that is light and easy to manage is also a great option for navigating narrow doorways and tight spaces as it will allow you to navigate through tiny gaps.
A stroller that is light in weight is usually smaller than a standard double which can free up space in your trunk and make it easier to store. But, it's essential to look for a large under-seat storage basket that can hold at least 22 pounds of gear. You might also want to consider a storage organizer that is attached directly to the handlebar.
Another feature to consider is the distance your children are and which seating arrangement works best for your family. If your twins are close in age gap, you may prefer an inline seat to allow them to sit side-by-side and be close. If your children are at different stages of development and have a significant age gap, you may want to choose an infant car seat that can accommodate infant car seats as well as a convertible seat.
A few of our top lightweight twin strollers include the Kolcraft Cloud Plus, which weighs only 23 lbs (lighter than some single strollers!) and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat. The Jeep Destination Ultralight SBS Double Stroller has a light frame with telescoping handles, wheels that are filled with foam that do not flatten and an easy to fold.
Many parents are concerned about their kids' safety when it comes to riding in a double stroller, so opt for a model that has multiple safety features. It could include a 5-point safety harness for each seat, brakes on both the front and rear, a foot-brake, and a large canopy with peek-aboo windows that provide head-to-toe sun protection. Be sure to look for stroller accessories, such as a child tray, a snack cup, or back pockets that can also be used as drink holders.
Easy to Fold
When looking at strollers for sale be sure to look for models that fold easily and compact to store. This can help you save time when in a hurry (or in the parking lot in the middle of the midst of a storm) and ease the strain on your back. A simple one-handed fold is ideal choice, and a self-standing design that can stand up when folded is more appealing.
A telescoping handlebar is yet another feature we love for its convenience and you'll usually get it on more expensive models. If you plan to travel with twins and a lightweight, compact stroller that can be easily collapsed and stored in a small trunk is a must.
A good-sized basket is also an advantage on double strollers. Some of the models that we evaluated have pockets or child trays that are located in the seatbacks. The Zoe Twin+ has a large, useful basket that is one of the lightest and smallest when folded. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Delta Children LX Side by Side have smaller, but functional baskets. They also have pockets in the seatbacks.
In our tests, we searched for a ride that was comfortable, and a number of the light double strollers we reviewed feature a smooth suspension that absorbing bumps without making your kids feel jostled. The best-performing model, the Summer Infant 2 Go Lite is a very comfortable ride and is a fantastic option for infants as as toddlers. It is compatible with two car seat carriers and has a rear seat that converts to bassinet-style seating for newborns which makes it a great option from birth until toddlerhood.
For a more upscale option, consider the Jeep Wrangler TrailRunner Twin. It features a comfortable, spacious pair of seats, that can recline independently. The large UPF50+ canopy provides plenty of shade, as well as a peek-through window. The seats are cushioned and come with adjustable foot and leg rests. They are both covered in padding and come with removable child tethers. This model features a swiveling front wheel and a one-handed fold, which is easier than the other two-seaters that we've tested. It's also one of the lightest and most compact double strollers when folded and has a telescoping handlebar that adjusts to the height.
Easy to carry
If you have a lengthy journey in the near future or you just need to get your children from one side of town to the other without carrying the bulk of a large double stroller, you can look for an unadorned twin stroller that can perform the job. These usually have a seat for the older child and a platform or bench for the child who is younger, and they can often be tucked away in overhead bins when traveling via air. Look for double single pushchair like a cup holder and storage space for your child's snacks, as well as a canopy for rain.
Some of our most loved lightweight double strollers are surprisingly compact, including the Zoe Twin+, which folds down to be one of the lightest and smallest when closed. It has a spacious passenger seat with an adjustable footrests and legrests, as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out. Plus, it has easy and quick buckles that are among the easiest to fasten for kids of all ages.
In addition to keeping the overall weight low, it's important to ensure that the stroller fits through doors and other spaces that are tight particularly when shopping or doing the errands. Read the description of the product to ensure it will fit in your car trunk or through the narrow entrances at your local coffee shop or store. Inline twin strollers, which have the seats that are stacked one over the other, are usually bigger than side-by-side models.
If you want a stroller with two wheels that can fit infant car seats, consider choosing a model that has customized adapters that let you attach your infant car seats right into the frame. This makes for an easier transition from car to stroller and also helps to avoid interrupted naps on the go. This is especially useful if you have an infant in one seat and a toddler in another, and it's also perfect for families that frequently travel and need to put the car seats off and on often.
Parents of twins may be interested in a frame stroller that is more expensive, like the UPPAbabyvist V2 double. The frame stroller can accommodate two infant car seats and can be used for a long time even with three children. These are designed to last much longer than a simple, low-cost inline twin stroller and can be used for jogging or shopping with only the infant car seats.
Suspension
You'll likely pay an amount of money on your twin stroller, so be sure to choose one that is built to last. The quality of the wheels, suspension system and seat base are crucial. These features let the stroller move over various terrains. A good suspension will also absorb the impact of uneven surfaces, which makes it easier to push for longer durations of time.
Another thing to consider is the size and ease of maneuvering the stroller in tight spaces. It is important to ensure that it is able to fit through doors and over curbs. You will also want to be aware of to the size of the basket under the seat. It should be big enough to hold your shopping bags, snacks and other essentials.
You might also want to consider the warranty for your new twin stroller. A good warranty will assure that you can get a new product in the event of any problems. Also, you want to ensure that the company is easily accessible and provides helpful customer service. This is especially important if you experience any issues with the stroller in the near future.
You can test this by calling their customer support number or using their contact form. You should expect prompt responses and thorough answers to your questions. This will give you confidence that your purchase was a wise one.
