Double Stroller Types

And Baby Makes Four Oh, the blessed event. So many plans to make, so many things to buy - especially when twins are on the way. Two cribs, two high chairs, but two strollers? It's unlikely that pushing two strollers down the street will get you anywhere. Deciding on a double stroller will require an evaluation of your lifestyle in order to choose the best type of double stroller for you and yours. Tandem Double Strollers Tandems offer in-line seating for two or more children, without the awkward width those side-by-side double strollers present. Canopies, cup holders, baskets, individual adjustable seating, even reversible seats are just some of the comforts found in tandem double strollers. These are heavier double strollers, and some have the capacity to be used with car seats and infant carriers. Tandem double strollers are perfect for carrying two children of different ages. Some models have back seats that can be raised so the child in the rear has a better view of what lies ahead.

Side-by-Side Double Strollers

Two seats next to each other, both facing the same direction - a simple strategy that makes both children feel equally important as they ride up close for a personal take on what lies ahead. Many side-by-side double strollers are lightweight and compact, but are often difficult to maneuver in crowds or narrow areas. Side-by-side double strollers are best used with twins so the weight is equally distributed. Many models are double umbrella strollers and have some of the same features found in larger double strollers: canopies, peek-a-boo windows, multi-position seats, adjustable foot rests, infant supports, 3-5-point harness systems, ergonomic handles, one-touch brakes, spring suspension, front swivel wheels with locks, and one-hand easy folding.

Double Jogging Strollers

There's no need to sacrifice fitness once the twins arrive, or even when they get to the toddler stage. Simply strap them safely into a double jogging stroller, and off you go down the sidewalk for a power walk, or through the park for a morning jog. The wheels on jogging strollers are larger for a smoother ride; these double strollers are capable of handling most terrains. Double jogging strollers have all the comforts of other double strollers, but are more streamline, can easily be pushed with one hand, and can also be used for a leisurely trip to the mall.
