Strollers for twins

A newborn baby is always a joy but when twins enter the picture, it can create new challenges to daily life. One of them is finding the right stroller that can meet two children's needs. There are a myriad of options for toddlers and twins. You can pick tandem strollers or a side-by-side one that suits your family's needs. Some strollers are compatible with twin infant car seat and bassinets.

The most important factor to consider when selecting a stroller for twins is the age of the child. Newborns need seats that fully recline to allow them to lie flat. They should also have a canopy that extends far enough to provide shade and include the option of a peekaboo window. Some models are made to accommodate breastfeeding and include a specially designed reclining seat which allows mothers to nurse their twins.

If your twins are in the same age range it is possible to consider a side by side stroller. This will stop sibling fights over who is where and will make them feel more connected. In contrast, if they're quite different in age or temperament, a tandem stroller may be a better option.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance, has seating that can attach to a pair infant car seat carriers. It can accommodate two newborns.

It is important to think about how much space you have in your car or home for double running stroller strollers. When folded they can be heavy and bulky. They can also be difficult to fit into small spaces or in the trunk of your car.

Side-by-side strollers are smaller than tandem strollers and are generally easier to maneuver, especially in store aisles that are crowded and narrow sidewalk corners. They tend to be cheaper than convertible models. Tandem strollers are more spacious and are more compact for the two seats and may require extra space in the garage for a park. They can be used by infants up to 4 or 5. The most effective tandem strollers have the stadium seating that places the child in front more so that both kids can see. Some of these seats recline or even have a standing position.

Consider how long you plan to use the stroller for. Most of the strollers we tested last for a number of years, but it's important to keep in mind the growth of your family as well as your budget. If you plan to use it for a long period of time it is also important to consider the cost of replacing the tires as well as any accessories such as the snack tray or canopy.

Before you make any final decisions make sure that the stroller carries Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification, has easy-to-use brakes, lockable swivel wheels, and is not a victim of recalls in the past. Alli Cavasino is a certified child security technician for passengers. She advises users of strollers to choose a handlebar that is adjustable, and the ability to move seats up and down with ease using frame clips.
