Double Stroller Isn't As Tough As You Think > 자유게시판

How Easy Is It to Push and Fold a Double Stroller?

A double stroller that is well-designed will make it easier to move around, whether you're walking with your toddler or jogging with your twins. But finding one that's easy to push and fold is a must.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models with equal recline and ample storage space, as well as car adapters for infants' seats.

Seating

Seating options are crucial when you are shopping for a double stroller. Depending on your kids' age and stage, you may want to consider a side-by-side option that lets both children sit together or a tandem design that lets one child stand while the other is seated.

Seating configurations can also affect your comfort when you're navigating busy sidewalks and streets. Find strollers with reclining chairs, footrests that recline and large canopy covers to provide shade for two passengers. Also, avoid hanging pram bags on the handlebars as they can change the stroller's weight and cause tipping.

Double strollers of high-quality will also come with convenient storage compartments for your essentials. Look for compartments under the seats or behind the seats. These are excellent places to store toys, snacks and other necessities. You can also use organizer bags as well as consoles for parents affixed to the handles of the car to keep essentials in your hand on walks or outings.

A side-by-side stroller is the best option for parents with children of the same age. They tend to be more stable and provide better visibility for both of the passengers than strollers that stack. Some options also accept two car seats for infants which allows you to move your sleeping kids from the car to the stroller without waking them.

Parents who have older kids who aren't afraid to sit separately or prefer a bit of independence might like the sit-and-stand option that allows an older child to climb onto the front of the stroller and ride along. This type of double stroller typically isn't newborn-compatible and might require more maintenance as years go by, however it can be a great option for families with active children who require the flexibility of one stroller that can be converted to a two-kid version.

The most effective double strollers are sturdy and easy to maneuver even on rugged terrain or in tight spaces. They are also light, foldable and compact for easy storage in your garage or trunk. This makes them easy to transport on trips. They also have solid construction to ensure longevity and safety of your children. Additionally, they meet the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy protects both passengers from the sun's rays, and some models also come with a visor to further shield kids' faces. Our top-scoring canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have huge shades. Both models have adequate coverage and cover children from head to toe while inline models often do not have shade, or have a single canopy that only covers one seat. This can be a problem for siblings who need different levels protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys can be fitted onto strollers easily. But be sure to check the dimensions of the model before you purchase, as some canopy may require additional space in the basket for full extension, and to avoid hitting the handles when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that comes with a bassinet and car seat adapters as well as other accessories that give them more options in the future. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, comes with a toddler seat as well as an add-on RumbleSeat. This makes it a perfect choice for families who have twins or young children and need to transport them simultaneously. This stroller is also able to offer a unique sit-and-stand configuration for older kids who prefer to ride on their own.

Parent consoles and organizer bags can make your stroller more practical. They keep essentials close at hand. They are especially useful for strollers that aren't frequently used, when you might want to stash toys and snacks away from prying hands. Some of these accessories are attached via a strap or snap, making it easy to take them off when you're ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're thinking of a long-term investment opt for a double stroller that's compatible with infant car seats and can be converted into a toddler stroller complete with an adjustable bench or glider board. Both the Graco pushchairs travel systems System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista v2 Duallie come with a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler's seat as well as a RumbleSeat. Both strollers can be expanded to triple strollers by the addition a running board. This is a great option for active families who have one child who loves to be on the go.

Wheels

The type of wheels a stroller is equipped with can make a difference in how it is easy to push. In general, larger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and will be able to tackle an array of terrain. The material of the wheels also affects how they are to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic ones and are able to withstand rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety of styles sizes, dimensions and materials to accommodate various needs and environments. For instance, swivel wheel can aid in maneuvering narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed-wheels are more stable and suitable for smooth surfaces. If you plan to take your stroller off the road or over rough terrain, you should consider purchasing air-filled tires instead of regular rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires and absorb shocks, making for a more comfortable ride.

Side-by-side double strollers can be wider than tandem models, and they can be difficult to fit through narrow doors or store aisles. They offer your children the same amount of room to sit and stretch their legs. They are also usually easier to maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you want to use your stroller for running or biking then look for a double jogger with special all-terrain or jogging tires. These are thicker, larger and come with sealed ball bearings to provide smoother rides on uneven surfaces. Some models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double stroller compact, are compatible with car seats which allow you to jog with your children safely strapped in their car seats.

Other strollers that are all-terrain and jogging like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X can accommodate two children in the front, but are too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. And in our testing the restraint buckles on this model were among the toughest to fasten, which can be a challenge when trying to get two children into the stroller at once. This stroller is expensive and costs a lot more than our top single-to-tandem model, but it comes with high-quality materials and good resale value.

Storage

A good double stroller will have enough storage space to accommodate both parents and children. Insufficient storage can make it hard for a parent to get around town or bring all the necessary equipment for an outing with two children. In our Lab tests the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double performed excellently in this metric with a spacious and easily accessible basket that can accommodate up to 30 lbs.

Strollers that have pockets or compartments that are multiple can aid families in keeping in mind small items like phones, keys and wallets. Additionally, a parent console or organizer bag attached to the handlebars can provide a convenient space for dads and moms to store their personal belongings when out with the kids.

The UPPAbaby Vista has a large basket and can carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets however.) It also features the ability to telescopically adjust its bar and has brakes that are easy to use. It also has the biggest maximum weight capacity in our lineup, and a fold that fits most standard door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar, which is ideal for parents of different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold up to ensure complete sun protection, and its cup holders and snack tray can hold different bottles for children and snacks.

The biggest challenge with any stroller is folding it and bringing it back to its original shape after use. This is especially the case when you have a baby or toddler with you. It's crucial to select a stroller that folds easily and quickly. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both have a simple, single-handed mechanism that lets parents quickly and easily fold their strollers, no matter which configuration they're in.

Double strollers might seem like an expensive investment but parents who plan to use it for several years will pay more than they would for single strollers. It's also worth determining if a stroller can be divided into pieces for storage and transport, which is an important factor if you're in a tight space for your vehicle or living space.
