A wide range of accessories are available for use with double strollers. Most of them will probably appeal to you in one way or another, but they may not be of real practical help.
However, depending on your needs, some accessories could be quite useful indeed. Below are some of the common accessories that are used with combi double strollers.
Seat Liners
Seat liners offer a layer of cushion on the combi double stroller for your child to seat comfortably in. The seat liner can be a simple comfort cushion or it can be extra padded to keep your child warm during the winter months. Seat liners can be easily removed for cleaning, so there is no need to clean your combi double stroller as often.
Foot Muffs
Foot muffs act as covers for your child's legs when they are on the combi double stroller. It is a simple padded bag that can be worn over the lower part of the stroller where your child's legs stick out. You probably realised that your legs are among the first parts of your body to feel the chill. Your child feels the same and at their body size, they feel much colder quickly. Foot muffs help keep your child feel warm and snugly in the winter months and can be removed when the weather gets warmer.
Weather Cover Shields and Sun Covers
Another accessory that can be very useful especially for outdoor travel is weather shields. Weather shields work like foldable roofs for combi double strollers. Many weather shields are made of transparent material that allows your child to look out even when fully drawn. The children love it when they are enclosed within and like to imagine the combi double stroller as they spaceship or castle. Unfortunately, it can get quite stuffy inside the combi double stroller after a while. For greater comfort, you should try to get a larger weather shield.
Sun covers work like weather shields, except that they usually do not cover the entire combi double stroller. Sun shields usually cover only top and extend slightly towards the side for cover from sun at a low angle.
Stroller Bassinets
Bassinets are a common sight in combi double strollers these days as parents appear to have more and more baby products that they need to be carrying around. Parents normally carry a backpack to hold all their baby items, but why carrying them in a backpack if you can push them around? Bassinets can also double up as a trolley when you bring your child along for grocery shopping. Placing your groceries in the bassinet is definitely much safer than hanging them off the stroller handles.
Snack Tray & Cup holders
Your child probably has a favourite toy he/she wants to play with on the go. But children have short attention spans and usually give up playing after a while only to be looking for it later. Any experienced parent will bring the toy around with them, but having the child ask repeatedly for it can be annoying. This is why some parents equip their child's combi double stroller with a snack tray. The child can leave his/her favourite toy in the tray top and retrieve it anytime he/she wants to play again.
A snack tray is also useful if the child needs to eat on the go. The snack tray also helps to keep some of the crumbs off the stroller itself, although not by much.
When getting accessories for your combi double strollers, first think about how much do you really need it. And when you have decided that you want the accessory, check for compatible ones that will fit your combi double stroller. Lastly, take a look at how it will function on your combi double stroller, make sure it works like how you imagined it will.
