Today I’m going to talk about the different kinds of “double” baby strollers.
So let’s get started:
Nearly every company who manufacturers baby strollers, has at least a few double baby strollers. One of the most popular double strollers is made by InStep. It’s called the InStep Mall Cruiser, and it is one of middle range double baby strollers at around $175 online.
One of the most important features of a baby stroller is how easy it is to push. And this stroller copes very well. It will quite easily tackle slightly rough terrain (gravel, for example) due to its robust wheels.
It also has a little parent console where you can store things. It isn’t huge, but it’s another to carry a few items like a cell phone and a bottle of water.
The InStep double stroller can take around 100lbs of weight, which is quite a sizeable amount when you consider how much it weighs itself. It’s obviously made of high quality materials. Which is what you should expect from a middle of the range stroller.
This double baby stroller (in case you haven’t seen a picture of it) has three wheels. To large wheels at the back, and a swivel wheel at the front. You can also lock the front wheel if you like. Some parents aren’t keen on swivel wheels, but I think it works very well with this model.
If you’re looking for a double baby stroller, then you may want to consider getting a “twin” stroller. In case you don’t know, a twin stroller is basically two single strollers stuck together.
A popular twin stroller is made by Chicco. It’s called the Chicco Citta Twin Stroller. It costs around $140 last time I checked, so it’s a little cheaper than the InStep… but not much.
The Chicco twin stroller can take less weight than the InStep. Each seat can take around 37 lbs before you run into problems. But this is usually enough for most parents needs.
One of the advantages of these twin strollers is that they are very lightweight, and easy to get into your front door, or the trunk of your car.
It has a 5 point harness as standard, which is really much better than the 3 point harness. It keeps your child much more secure.
This stroller is very easy steer, which is a necessity if you have other kids as well. Because you need to keep an eye of the other children, and not be preoccupied with trying to steer your stroller! The twin stroller makes this easy.
Other strollers that are similar to the Chicco Citta are the “Graco Duorider Colburn” which is around $117. Also, you can get a similar kind of design called the double side-by-side stroller. A good example of this design is the “Tango side by side strollers”. They are quite a bit more expensive, at around $330. But they are very stable, and have the added protection of a front bar across the two seats. It also has quite a few other features (which is what you should expect for $330).
Peg Perego also makes a lightweight side by side stroller, which is around $300. I personally prefer the Tango because I like the design and the features. But the Peg Perego is quite similar.
If you’ve got money to burn, you might like to get a double baby stroller called the “BOB revolution duallie sport utility stroller”. This weighs in at a whopping $530, so it’s definitely a top of the range baby stroller.
This is a three wheeled stroller. It has a suspension system that can move 3 inches, which cuts down on the bouncing and vibrations quite a lot. Your baby won’t feel a thing.
The front wheel can be locked which makes it much safer when you’re off road or going for a run. The rear wheels even feature brakes. The canopies are both independently adjustable. The shoulder harness is padded and very comfortable for your child. This really is a luxury stroller.
If you’re thinking of getting this top of the line double baby stroller, then bare in mind you’re child needs to be at least 6-8 weeks old to ride in it, because he or she needs to be able to support their own head.
Anyway, that’s all for today. I hope this post has given you some good information to help you decide which kind of double baby stroller is for you. There’s a lot of choice out there, so take you time to find the right stroller for you. Good luck!
