The Baby Trend(r), Universal Double Snap-N-Go (r)
The Baby Trend(r) Universal Double Snap-N-Go(r) is a fantastic stroller that fits most infant car seat carriers. It comes with a large storage basket for storage and a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or travel. It is one of the most user-friendly strollers and is very maneuverable for a side-by-side design. It doesn't do well in our jog test, and has trouble with higher curbs. The swivel wheels on front aren't able to grip obstacles.
This stroller can be used with all major brands of infant car seats, and the adapters are easy to install. The stroller only accepts one infant car seat carrier at a time so parents of twins will have to consider a different alternative if they plan to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have impressive scores for their ability to fit two infant car seats at the same time.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and has a nice basket, but it falls short on our ride comfort measure. The stroller doesn't have shocks to withstand the bumps and vibrations of the road. This can be difficult on small passengers. The absence of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump in the road. This might not be an issue as the passengers get older but it's an important thing to think about if your children are toddlers or infants.
This frame stroller weighs just under 40 pounds. double buggy is however heavy when packed with cargo and passengers. It's difficult to jog with no jog lock and it was a bit difficult traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter option for jogging, weighing in at 41 lbs. It is difficult to carry and lift, but it comes with a handle specifically designed to help you do this. The jog-strollers have larger wheels, which provide superior performance off-road. They have a better-built chassis and are constructed from durable materials that can withstand long-term use.
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 double stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 includes all the features parents are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies, and an adult cupholder. Plus, it has some exciting new features such as the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It also has seven different seating configurations that include the difficult-to-find double rear facing position that allows kids to look at each their friends while watching dad and mom.
The stroller's compatibility to multiple infant car seats is among its best features. It gives families more options and keeps them from being tied to a single model of stroller that works with baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats as well as Britax double car seats. It also works with UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double seats. It even has an additional adapter to accommodate those who have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side-by-side stroller, so it has the look of a single stroller, and can be used in all doorways and aisles easily. While it's not as movable as a jogging-style stroller, it's still a great option for shopping or road trip excursions. It weighs slightly more than other double strollers, however it's not too heavy for most petite women to lift and maneuver.
The seats are quite comfortable for children and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is huge as well, and it can be zipped off for an extra shade. However, it doesn't provide ample storage space for necessities for parents and some families may consider to be a hassle.
The stroller comes with an electronic foot brake and safety harness. It also comes with five-point harnesses for every child. The front wheels can be locked for extra stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It is easy to fold and stands up when folded. Although it doesn't feature a one-hand fold like some of the other top strollers, it's not too difficult to master with a bit of practice and it's faster than other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly model that can grow with your family, offering car seat compatibility and reversible seating in a stylish, modern stroller frame. It comes with easy-to-use daily features and a convenient, one-handed fold with a self-stand which is remarkable for a less expensive model. It does have an a bit more substantial feel than much of the other models and smaller wheels that have difficulty when pushing off-road or through tight corners and narrow doors.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) - no adapters required. Adding a second seat expands the stroller frame in minutes without tools or other parts, and can be used in a variety of configurations in the USA to accommodate infant and toddler seating at different heights in parent-facing or forward-facing modes. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to accommodate older children or to support the baby at an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
A large, spacious storage basket, as well as back and front-facing seat pockets enhance the stroller's functionality The cushioned, contoured seat provides maximum comfort for passengers. An extendable canopy keeps children safe from the sun, and an open window allows parents to watch their little ones.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride in tandem, or be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can hold a variety of drinks and the stroller can be folded when the toddler seat is connected, making it simple to access storage space.
Many reviewers are impressed with the ease with which Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate an additional seat. A few have noted that it can be difficult to attach an infant car seat to the mounts that are integrated, but attaching the second toddler seat is easier and quicker. Evenflo provides a video chat feature for customers to ask any questions or get assistance with installing car seats. The only other major drawback for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an ideal stroller for siblings of similar age. It's easy to put together straight out of the box and unlike many sit-and stand options it is light at under 23 pounds. The seats can recline in various positions so that your infant or toddler can lie down. There is also a footrest available for older children who require it. The padded handlebar can be positioned in a way that older children can grasp it while standing, even when wearing gloves. Many parents have reported that this feature alone makes it more secure than the majority of its rivals.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can accommodate children up to two years old. This allows you to keep your child rear-facing for longer and is a major advantage for parents who adhere to the #TurnAfter2 movement that encourages babies and toddlers to be rear-facing until at least two years old. The seat is easy to buckle and features the same great five-point harness that is found on the front seat.
Another benefit of the Bravo For 2 is that it can accept a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on the front. You simply push down the front seat, slide into your infant carrier and listen for the click which indicates that it is safe. This feature alone makes it one of the most versatile double strollers out there and helps you avoid wasting money on a single-use stroller that is likely to end up in your garage, or even donated to a secondhand store in your area.
The only drawback to this stroller is that it does not come with a parent tray or cup holders, and the storage space is somewhat restricted. However, it is still an excellent choice for families with just one child who will be walking for the entire duration of their stroll, and an older sibling in a car seat the front. It's also a great choice for travel, as it folds easily into a compact size that can be gate-checked on an airplane or tucked away in your trunk.
