Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may decide to go with a lightweight frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to face opposite directions or in the same direction and also has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats fitted with the proper adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glids around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It has adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can also use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket is spacious enough to accommodate all your items and has a convenient spot to keep your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar in one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. You'll also have to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other double strollers we've test. Fortunately, the company has upgraded the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the latest ones. It can also be folded using two adapters attached simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and both babies can be carried in their infant carriers simultaneously. It is a favorite for parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design cuts down the overall length so that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they can recline to various positions with the press of one button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten Pushchairs And Prams undo in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a large child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old. So it's not a good choice for twins or siblings who are close in age. However, it's a great option for families who wish to jog, and its tough frame construction means that it will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially true when you're crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension generally have larger wheels and more shocks. The more smooth a stroller's ride and the more shocks it will have.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will make it last longer and is ideal if are planning to use it with multiple children or for a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension, and it's an old model. It comes with a variety of features that parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder, and a storage basket that can hold many items. It has a height adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins with infant car seats. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller and folds up to a compact size. It comes with some nice features like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but is mandatory for families with toddlers or infants.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate car seats. It has all the features we like, including the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand, padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it simpler to turn the seats back when you're on the move.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain and some models come with extra features such as a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2, has the front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single parent to take both children out. Its bench seat is made to fit a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old. older, which means it's not the best choice for twins or younger siblings. However, we loved the fact that it folds down into a compact package and has handles on both sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double stroller due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These strollers let parents communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. The downside is that side-byside strollers tend to be heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking to find a light option, our budget pick, the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated choice. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version allows them to be positioned in either direction. We found the most recent model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a time, and even though it doesn't have an infant carrier built-in, it works with 23 different brands of car seats via a click-in adapter. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we loved how the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two kids of similar age, you may want a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It 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 but it's made by a small family-owned company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for twins in the infant stage, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat as well as an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands because it allows you to shop at a greater variety of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem 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, can feel more unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the different seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your kids are close in age.

Fortunately, we've found there are numerous stroller options to suit families with infant twins or children who are similar in age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to transfer their children from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large, too. These baskets are ideal for storing all your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage also has a compartment for your keys and phone. The baskets are sided with mesh to prevent items from falling, so you don't need to search around to find them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same flexibility to our top award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted into two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a great option for twins from birth until early childhood.
