Best Double Strollers for Infants and Toddlers

You were expecting one child and had two! Now you need two of everything! Imagine pushing two strollers at once. It just cannot be done, unless you're blessed with superhuman manual skills, or are superhuman! For the rest of us mortals, God (well, not exactly) created double strollers.

What is a double stroller? A double stroller is a stroller that seats two kids. Double strollers are a boon if you've got twins or two kids of stroller-riding age. This article will give you information about the best double strollers for infants and toddlers, and how to choose the one which is right for you.

There are basically two types of double strollers - side by side double strollers and tandem double strollers. Side by side double strollers have seats next to each other, while tandem double strollers have seats one behind the other. The advantage of side by side double strollers is that the kids can sit next to each other, but the disadvantage is that they are difficult to push through a standard doorway. The tandem double strollers, on the other hand, have the width of single strollers, and are, therefore, easy to push through doorways and aisles. They are, however, difficult to maneuver, unlike the side by side double strollers, which can make sharp turns. The tandem strollers are also heavier compared to the side by side strollers, but they are comfortable and luxurious, with spacious seats for kids to sit and sleep, which make them ideal strollers for babies and toddlers. The side by side strollers are more suitable for toddlers. You should choose a stroller according to your needs.

Best Double Strollers for Infants and Toddlers

Let's take a look at the two categories of double strollers - side by side double strollers and tandem double strollers, and the best double strollers for infant and toddler under these two categories. Given below are double strollers reviews.

Side by Side Double Strollers
Here is a list of the best side by side double strollers, including double umbrella strollers.

Maclaren Twin Techno Double Stroller
This is one of the best side by side double strollers. It is quite light compared to other double strollers. It is also very easy to maneuver, and can pass through standard doorways. It is very durable and comfortable, and folds into a compact umbrella fold, making it a great stroller for traveling. It can be used for both infants and toddlers, as the seats incline independently at 5 different positions. The only drawbacks of this stroller are that its seats are narrow and it is not an all-terrain stroller. It is also a little expensive compared to the other strollers, but is totally worth the money.

Combi Twin Sport Double Stroller
This is a great budget stroller from Combi double strollers. It is very popular among twin strollers. It is really light-weight and portable, but not as durable or comfortable as the Maclaren stroller. It is still, however, a real value for money deal. The seats recline almost all the way back, so it can be used for infants as well as toddlers. It also has large canopy and storage basket. It is ideal for traveling, but not so much for everyday use, as it is not that sturdy.

Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller
The Baby Jogger double stroller is an amazing stroller, with a really smooth ride and great maneuverability. It is one of the versatile double strollers. It can easily tackle sharp turns, making it an ideal stroller for the city. It is light-weight and pushes effortlessly. A great feature of this stroller is its sunshade, which comes down quite far, and provides excellent coverage from the sun. It is also very quick and easy to fold, and doesn't take up a lot of storage space. The seats of this stroller do not recline completely, though, so it is not a good double baby stroller. Baby Jogger also offers a great range of double jogging strollers.

Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport Stroller
This is one of the best double umbrella strollers. It is a no-nonsense, light-weight, all-terrain, all-weather stroller, which is quite inexpensive. It doesn't compare to the other pricier strollers in terms of durability and comfort, but it gives back what its worth. Its compactness doesn't allow for enough storage space, and its canopies are small and do not provide adequate protection from the sun. However, it is great as far as double umbrella strollers are concerned.

Tandem Double Strollers
Here is a list of the best tandem double strollers, including a model of sit and stand double strollers.

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Tandem Stroller

It has a 5 point harness for baby safety. It also has ample storage space and is very durable. The drawbacks of this stroller are that it is heavy and difficult to maneuver on uneven terrain, as it is not an all-terrain stroller.

Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem Stroller
This is one of the best strollers for babies, with seats that recline completely for infants. A great feature of this stroller is that both the front and back seats are completely reversible, allowing for various seat positions such as both facing the front, both facing the back, both facing one another or away. So, you can change the seat positions according to your kids moods - face to face, if the kids want to play with each other, away, if they don't! This stroller is great if you have twin infants or toddlers, or one infant and one toddler. It accommodates infant car seats, and has a 5 point harness. It is easy to maneuver, has a smooth ride, good storage, decent canopies. The stroller stands on its own when it is folded. It can also be easily converted into a single stroller.
