Buying a Double Infant Stroller

However, it's generally larger than other configurations and can be challenging to navigate in narrow spaces or crowded areas.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand while you push a smaller child in an infant car-seat. It's not the best option for infants but it's suitable once your kiddos are around three years old and able to walk longer distances.

It's more expensive than the top tandem choice however it will last many years and has the best resale value she says.
