Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a lightweight frame that can accommodate two car seats during the baby days. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you change the car seat carriers in the same or opposite direction. It also has a large storage bin, which can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doorways.

Easy folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It features footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. It comes with a toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket has plenty of space to store all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, a place to store your phone or purse.

But it can also be difficult to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. It’s also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up–a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we tried. Fortunately, the company has changed the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version–launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and will fold with two of the adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It works 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 clever design shortens the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. It’s still a great option for families who wish to run and its robust construction means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we’ve tested.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially true when you’re crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and they typically come with more shocks than those that do not. The more comfortable a stroller rides the more shocks it comes with.

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

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the best twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension, and it’s an old model. It comes with a variety of features that many parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder and an storage basket that can hold a lot. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. strollers double is a sit and stand stroller that can either be used as a twin stroller or with one infant seat in front. It has a ton of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice extras like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is crucial as it will keep your kids secure in case of an accident. This feature is not always on strollers, but it is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It has all of the great features we like such as reversible seats, one-hand recline, compression padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on both canopies and extra-large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to make it easier to reverse seats on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the sun and rain. Some models have additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2, features an front seat with a buckle that is adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it possible for one caregiver to take two kids out. Its bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it’s not the best option for twins or younger siblings. We liked that this stroller folds into a compact package and comes with a handle on each side to help you carry it to the car.

Some parents may prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it’s less prone to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents be able to talk and observe both children simultaneously. On the other hand, side-by-side models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable alternative Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a highly-rated and cost-effective option. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version can be set up in either direction. We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, however it still weighs more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you’re a parent who wants to run, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different car seat brands via an adapter that clicks in, even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in. It’s a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we liked the way that the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children of the same age you may want to choose an option that lets you sit and stand like the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or a single toddler seat and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It’s a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, but it’s made by a small family-owned company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which will accept them is crucial. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat and a bassinet. We prefer strollers that can work with multiple infant car seat brands because it lets you shop a wider range of prices without being locked into a specific brand.

You’ll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration and is easier to maneuver — especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller could feel unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the different heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

We’ve discovered that there are many strollers that can be used by families with infant twins or children of 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 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transfer their babies from their car to the double stroller in comfort.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also large. They’re ideal for storage of everything you need including diaper bags, backpacks and even extra clothes. The front storage includes a space for your phone and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to prevent items from falling over, so you don’t have to rummage for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It has the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets. They can also be used with two infant car seats. This makes it an ideal option for twins starting from birth through early childhood.
