Sit and Stand Strollers are not designed to be like the regular double strollers. Unlike the traditional tandem or side-by-side double strollers sit and stand strollers have a very different purpose. Sit and stand strollers are designed for both babies, toddlers and older children and their designed to grow with the child and the family.
There are varying types of sit and stand strollers but the basic concept consists of a child seat in front with either a second child seat at the back or a platform where a or older child can either sit or stand. The versatility of the strollers increases the price with the top models able to function as a tandem stroller, an infant travel system with a car seat adapter, and the rest platform for older children who get tired easily.
From birth to childhood.
Sit and stand strollers are great for families with multiple children who require assistance when out and about. Sit and stand strollers provided for a stroller that will have a longer lifespan than traditional double strollers because they are designed to cater from infants right through to five or six years old. Compared to traditional double strollers that can only accommodate children under three years old, sit and stand strollers seem to be a wise investment.
What features to look out for.
Deciding what type of stroller is best for you first need to decide what will need to be. Will you require a stroller for an infant but don't want to invest in another stroller when the child gets older? Are you planning to have more children who are close in age? Do you want a compact stroller that is easy to fold, manoeuvre and store? All these questions will help you decide what is and stand stroller best suits your needs.
Infant car seat adapters.
Some models a universal car seat travel systems. The benefits of this are that if you how have an infant and toddler the infant can be placed in their car seat either in the front seat stroller or on the back platform, depending on the model. This allows the toddler to also ride in the stroller either in the free front seat, or on the rear platform or seat depending on the Stroller model. As the child grows the infant can be moved to the regular seat while the older child can ride on the platform.
Storage and maneuverability.
One great thing about the sit and stand stroller is that is not as bulky as the side-by-side double strollers; nor are they as heavy as the Tandem strollers. Because there is normally only one main seat the weight is kept down and also allows for more compact fold. This is ideal for families who do not want to deal with cumbersome strollers that take up a large amount of space in the trunk. They are also easier to manoeuvre than Tandem strollers as they are generally smaller and more lightweight.
