The Benefits and Advantages of Owning a Double Stroller
If you are the parent of one or more children you are familiar with the scene. You're out shopping; trying to buy something, and all of a sudden your youngest child requires some TLC. As you are trying to calm her down, your oldest child decides that this would be a great opportunity to pretend they're a tiger and creep through the hidden depths of the supply shelves and racks of clothing. Or maybe you and your family have decided to take a trip to an amusement park or other event that means that you will spend a lot of time on your feet. Though you have prepared for your youngest to be comfortable, either through the use of a stroller or sling, you didn't plan for the time your eldest child thinks they have had enough and sits down in the middle of the sidewalk until you are forced to carry them wherever you go or end your day early and go home.
No matter what scenario you're in, if you have got multiple young children, getting yourself a good double stroller is an investment you will not regret. This offers your younger child the safe and comfortable accommodations that they would have if they were traveling in a regular stroller and at the same time making it possible for your older child to ride comfortably when they're too tired. A double stroller will provide a means for you to do this without simultaneously pushing two strollers (we've all attempted it--it's an exercise that is almost sure to fail). Furthermore, if you have got a couple of very young children this will help to avoid some of the sibling rivalry that the older child might feel if they're being forced to continue on foot beyond their limit, while baby sister or brother is permitted to ride in a stroller or be held in a sling.
When double strollers were very first made available, they got some bad press. They were difficult to steer, large, bulky, heavy and difficult to pack around. Thankfully, newer models were developed with comfort and ease in mind. Double strollers now days are a lot less heavy than before, and it's possible to get them in several sizes and colors. This means that if you'd like a jogging stroller or an umbrella stroller to a more traditional, full size version, you can have one without having to struggle with which child gets to be a passenger. It is also possible to get a double stroller designed as a single stroller but has a step for older children, making it much easier to travel with without having to give up convenience.
Most companies manufacture double strollers, which essentially means you can get one from most major baby retailers. So, this means if you live close to a J.C. Penney, a Mervyn's, or a Burlington Coat Factory, you're likely to find one there. On the other hand, why should you waste your time and money going to a store when you can shop without trouble in the comfort of your home on the internet? Your stroller can be sent right to your door. Either way, you'll have no trouble getting a double stroller to accommodate your family's needs.
