Double Seat Strollers

Are you thinking of buying a double seat stroller?
With all the available double stroller options, its important that you take some time to do research  since your stroller is about to become your next best assistant.  To avoid spending money on the wrong one, think about what are the “Must Have” features (see below) for the new dual stroller.  Also, think about which of the popular brands such as Phil and Teds, Bobs, E3, Tandem, Maclaren, Jane, Mountain, Chicco, Peg Perego, Graco, Schwinn, Baby Trend, Britax your prefer. The good news is that once you determine exactly how you want to use the double seat stroller there are plenty of models to fit your lifestyle.

These are some of the things that you may want to consider in selecting the best double seat stroller for your family:

Important Comfort and Safety Features for Dual Strollers
Safety
Of course your child’s safety should come first.  With this in mind you want to research the stroller’s brand.  Re-consider the brand if the manufacturer has sold faulty stroller parts and has had a lot of recalls in the last few years.

Then consider the harness, which is what keeps your child from falling out of the stroller.  These straps go over both shoulders, around their waist, and between their legs.  The higher the assigned points (5 being the safest), the safer the harness will be and less chance that your child will twist their way out of the stroller.

If possible, push your favorite stroller throughout the store before making your selection. Go ahead and test the breaks and ensure that they are stable.  You should be testing both the foot and hand break. Also check that all wheels make contact with the floor, and that the stroller is not unsteady, or has any sharp edges or spots that can cause injuries.

Comfort
Take into account your children’s ages in choosing the dual stroller. As some strollers only have space for a child to stand and ride but no room for naps. While other models have space to accommodate both children.  If your children are present have them sit and see that they are comfortable.

Considering Stroller’s Wheels and Handles
As you are walking throughout the store go ahead and adjust the handles to ensure that they are comfortable for you and your partner. Foam covered handles are extremely comfortable.  If your partner is on the tall side make sure the handles can be adjusted for comfort.

If you live in a crowded area make sure that the stroller can turn the corners smoothly, and your feet do not hit the wheels when you pick your walking pace.  Practice folding and unfolding the stroller.  Consider another stroller if you are not able to easily fold and unfold the stroller, as when you baby is around you will have other priorities.

Other Double Seat Stroller Features to Consider
Now you need to consider where you prefer to keep the diaper bag, in the basket underneath the stroller or in another spot? Is your favorite stroller able to handle the weight of a fully packed diaper bag?  Does it have an organization tray to hold snacks or drinks or the plastic cover?

Stroller’s Price Consideration
As you can imagine, the more features the stroller has the higher the price tag will be. Decided what is the maximum amount of money you are willing to spend, and the check which double seat stroller has the most features for your budget.  There are plenty of options and you should be able to find a quality stroller at your price target.   Currently some of the most popular double stroller seats include Gracco, Joovy, and Combi.  When you click the link below you will be able to see which online merchant has the best stroller price.

Moms which one would you choose?

It would be for a new baby and a toddler almost or at least 2 years old.

The MAIN features that i am looking for are
#1 Can fit into small places (like shopping)
#2 Is somewhat light and small when its folded.
#3 For both seats to recline and have sun shades

OR in your opinion should i just put the little baby in a sling and push the toddler around? I have a nice peg perego stroller that i just cannot get rid of anytime soon. I have this one: peg perego p3 stroller 2008 moka

and these are the double strollers i was looking at:

baby-jogger-city-mini-double
graco-quattro-tour-duo-double-stroller
maclaren-2009-twin-techno-double-stroller-black-with-black-frame

any suggestions? what would you do? or buy and please tell why! Thanks!
Edit: also the stroller that I ALREADY own has a step bar in the back for an older kid to stand on but i just think she would be too young to stand on it…not sure though..?

Strollers can come with a variety of features. First you must determine what is important to you?

Do you want a convertible travel system or a stroller that is just that and a car seat?
There are travel systems that include a stay in the car base, an infant carrier/car safety seat, and a stroller frame for the infant seat which it is attached.

These are great especially when your baby is newly born.

Hi, I am pregnant and when I have the baby, my son will be 2 1/2 years old. He’s on the tall side so I have to pay close attention to height limits on strollers…most of the time, toddler strollers won’t last long for my tall toddler. Do you know of a great double stroller I can use for my newborn and toddler?

I noticed most sit and stands have a 40 inch height limit

I’m mostly interested in the mountain buggy and valco baby brands. I’ve already tried e-bay without success.
I can’t really go to different stores to shop around since I don’t have a car during the day. I need exact websites or lists, etc…

Thanks in advance!

I will have a 18 month old and a newborn by the end of the year. I am looking for a side/side stroller that is easy to collapse, has a car seat option and has great sun protection. The lighter the better, although I know that this option is not really an option.

we are expecting twins and we are trying to research the right stroller/ car seats for the babies, what matters most to us is how comfortable the babies will be, ease of transport and price…any suggestions from mothers with experience with twins wil be greatly appreciated, although any suggestions at all will also be appreciated. Oh and we are open to any tips you may have to give us, Thank you!
