Shopping for double baby strollers or even single strollers can be overwhelming simply because there are so many different individual models to choose from. There are jogging strollers, ultra lightweight strollers, side by side double strollers and that's not all, so here is a deeper look into the various types of double baby strollers that you may consider.
Double Baby Strollers with Car Seat
There are a couple of different options when it comes to being able to put infants in a double stroller. Infants can ride more safely during their first couple of months by keeping them snug in an infant car seat. One way to stroller two babies around with one stroller is by purchasing something like the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It's a carriage frame you can use to snap two infant car seats safely into place.
Your second option for double baby strollers with car seat is not an actual stroller, but an infant car seat adapter. Baby Jogger is one brand that makes these in a double version so you would need a Baby Jogger Double Stroller and then you can basically attach any infant car seat to the stroller using the adapter. The adapter can be used with various car seat manufacturers including Graco, Britax Companion and Maxi Cosi.
Graco Baby Strollers
The Graco brand has been manufacturing baby items since the 1950s beginning with the first infant wind-up swing. They have gone on to produce other essential baby care equipment items including Graco baby strollers. The Graco Quattro Tour Duo is one of their popular double stroller models. This stroller has the seats situated so that one child sits in front of the other. These are good strollers to use if you have two young children that are different ages. The older, larger child can sit in the back with the younger, smaller child sitting in the front.
Double Baby Jogging Strollers
If you are an active parent with children than you may prefer double baby jogging strollers. Jogging strollers are manufactured differently than traditional strollers because they are designed to provide a smooth ride even over rough terrain. Some of these strollers have 3 wheels (2 rear wheels and 1 front wheel) and some have 4 wheels. Many consumer reviews indicate that they prefer the 3-wheeled double baby jogging strollers that have a front swivel wheel because they provide a smoother ride.
When it comes to double jogging strollers you will find that most of them feature the two seats side by side. A double side by side stroller will allow your children to sit next to each other and will make it easier to push the stroller while you're on the move. These strollers are a bit more compact than a traditional front/back double stroller while still providing plenty of space for children and their gear. Some popular manufacturers of double baby jogging strollers include BOB, Baby Jogger and InStep.
If you're active, you'll likely prefer a jogging stroller while others may prefer a traditional stroller. If you plan on using your stroller and transporting it often, then you may want a compact model that is considered a lightweight model - which do exist. Shopping for double baby strollers can be an overwhelming experience but if you know the types that are available, you'll be able to choose which one is best for you.
