Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
During the baby days you may want to go with a lightweight frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model lets you rotate the car seat in the opposite direction or in the same. It also has an enormous storage bin that can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doorways.
Easy folding
The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a large gorgeous twin stroller. It can hold two infant car seats when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows and padded five-point security harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. The toddler seat included can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space for everything you need and comes with four cup holders, which is a place to keep your purse or phone.
double pushchair can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you're holding the handlebar in one hand while holding the child's seat in the second. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we test. Fortunately, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the updated ones. It can even be folded using two adapters attached simultaneously.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side-by-side. It is a favourite among parents who have small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better in some trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to multiple positions with the touch of one button. The buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a large child who is at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's still a great option for families that want to jog, and its tough construction means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tried.
Wheel Suspension
The wheel suspension on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than strollers without. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother its ride.
A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will last longer and is a great option if you are planning to use it with multiple children or over a long period.
The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It has many features that parents love, like two cup holders, a parent console that has a cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It has a height adjustable handle that is useful for taller parents.
Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. It is a sit-and- stand stroller that could be used as a twin stroller or with a single infant seat in the front. It's a spacious stroller that folds to a compact size. It also has some pleasant features we like such as magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.
It also comes with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers but should be a must for families with toddlers or infants.
The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that can accommodate carseats. It has all the features we love, including recline with one hand and reversible seating with a compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to make it easier to reverse seats on the move.
Canopy
A quality canopy will keep your children safe from sun or rain, and a few models include extra features, such as a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2, features an front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it possible for a single parent to take two children out. Its bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years older, so it's not the ideal choice for twins or children who are younger. We liked the fact that it folds down into a compact unit and has a handle on both sides to help roll it up to the car.
Some parents may prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side due to its less proneness to sibling squabbles. These strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children at the same time. On the flip side, side-byside strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you're looking for a light option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is an affordable and highly rated option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version can be set up in either direction. We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, but it still weighs more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who enjoy jogging. It can hold one car seat at a given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands using the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier integrated. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can carry big loads without straining. And we loved how the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.
If you have two children who are the same age, you may prefer a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned business with excellent customer service.
Seating
If you are planning to use car seats for twin infants and a stroller that can take them is necessary. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can choose from a variety of prices and not be tied into a single brand.
double buggy 'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration and is also more maneuverable -- especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights could also lead to a fight between siblings.
There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children who are the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents move their children from their vehicle to the double stroller with ease.
The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are large, too. These baskets are great for storing all of your gear including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage area also has a compartment for keys and phones. The baskets are made of mesh to prevent objects from falling, meaning you don't need to search for them.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It provides the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can face either direction. This makes it an excellent option for twins from birth to early childhood.
