Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may want to use a light frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and also has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It also fits easily through most doorways.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. The included toddler seat can be used, Pushchairsandprams or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and young children. The large storage basket is roomy enough for all your stuff and includes a handy place to keep your phone or purse and four cup holders.

But it can also be awkward to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than the other double strollers that we tested. Fortunately, the company upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters as well as the latest ones. It can also be folded with two adapters that can be connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular twin stroller for infants. frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and both babies can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It is a favorite for parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design minimizes the overall length so that it fits better in certain trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the easiest to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a big kid who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old. So it's not a good choice for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's a great choice for families who want to jog and its robust structure means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller with car seats is a crucial feature since it can make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially true if you're going over bumps or rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension generally have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother its ride.

In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more durable. It can help it last longer, which is a plus for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or for a long period of time.

It offers plenty of storage space and is compact when folded. It also comes with a few nice features that we love for example, magnetic straps for crotch that can be opened and closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is crucial as it will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This feature is not always on strollers but should be a must for families with toddlers or infants.

It has all the features we love, such as recline with one hand and reversible seating, compression padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a new seat design to make it easier to reverse seats when you move.

The bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old. old, so it's not the best option for twins or children who are younger. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side because it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These strollers allow parents to see and converse with both children at the same time. On the other hand, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable alternative Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and budget-friendly option. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the newer version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. We found the latest model to be more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is a little longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to jog in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can hold one car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't have an integrated infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats using an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy and well-built stroller, that can carry heavy loads without stress. We also liked the way the handles can be adjusted to fit your height.

This stroller can fit the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company that makes it is a small family company with excellent customer service.

We prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands, as it allows you to shop for a wide range of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is also more maneuverable -- particularly in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem double stroller stroller on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more room between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling squabbles, so we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.
