Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days, you might choose to purchase a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double prams for newborn and toddler and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to be facing either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carriers. It can also fit through most doors.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge beautiful twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glids, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It features adjustable footrests and legrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. It comes with a toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet-like seat for small children and infants. The large storage basket is roomy enough to accommodate all your items and has a convenient spot to stash your phone or purse and four cup holders.

However, it can be difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to work with their 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 also fold with two adapters connected simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular twin stroller for infants. frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by-side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design cuts down the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child who is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar ages. It's still a great choice for families who wish to go jogging and the durable structure means it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on twin strollers that have car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension typically come with larger wheels and shocks. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it has.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will last longer and is ideal if you intend to use it for a number of children or over a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an old model. It has a lot of features that many parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder, and the storage basket, which can accommodate many items. It also has a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with a single infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a small double stroller size. It also has some pleasant features we like for example, magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that keeps your children secure in the case of an accident. This isn't always included on strollers but it's mandatory for any family with infants or toddlers.

The second top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the wonderful features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand reclining, compressing padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also has adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to flip the seats around while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the rain and sun. Some models have extra features, such as a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2, features an front seat with an adjustable buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it simple for a single caregiver to take two children out. Its bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old therefore, it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. This stroller is compact and comes with handles on both sides to help carry it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These types of strollers also allow you to see both children at the same time which makes it easier for parents to monitor and interact with them. The downside is that side-by-side strollers tend to be heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable alternative the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly rated and affordable choice. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version of the product allows them to be positioned in any direction. The latest model is more compact than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to jog the twin jogger that we recommend as our top pick is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't have a built-in infant carrier it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats using an adapter that clicks in. This is a sturdy, well-made stroller, which can handle large loads without strain. We also liked the way the handles could be adjusted to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer an option that allows you to sit and stand like the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat and has a standing platform for older children 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 plan to use car seats for twin infants and a stroller that will accept them is crucial. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double running stroller stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat, as well as an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be shackled into one brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the different seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, which is why we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your kids are close in age.

There are many stroller options for families with twins or children with similar age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double car seat stroller stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can take their children in comfort from the vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large as well. They're ideal for storing all your gear including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. The front storage area also has a compartment for your phone and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to keep items from falling, so you don't have to rummage to find them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double buggy sale stroller It offers a similar versatility to some of our higher-end award winners. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers, and they can convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can face either direction. This makes it a great choice for twins, from birth to early childhood.
