Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days, you might choose to use a light frame stroller that accepts 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 face opposite directions or in the same direction and comes with a large storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through the majority of doorways.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. The included toddler seat can be used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket offers plenty of room for everything you need and comes with four cup holders, which is a space to store your purse or phone.

But it's also awkward to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it down, a process that is more time-consuming than other smallest double buggy strollers that we have test. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the latest ones. It can even be folded using two adapters connected simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits 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 long-time favorite of parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design shortens the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to various positions with the push of the button. The buckles are among the simplest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for an older child that is at least 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins or siblings with similar ages. It's still a great option for families who wish to exercise, and the sturdy structure means it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and they typically have more shocks than strollers that do not. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it has.

In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is great if you plan on using it for multiple kids or a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is one of the Best Twin Stroller twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension, and it's an old model. It's loaded with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder and an storage basket that can accommodate many items. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height which is useful for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It offers plenty of storage space and is compact when folded. It also comes with a few pleasant features we like for example, magnetic straps for the crotch that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

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

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate car seats. It comes with all the features we love, such as reversible seating and one-hand recline as well as the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy, and a large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to allow for easier reversing of seats when you move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Some models come with additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2 has the front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and shoulder. This makes it easy for a single parent to take two kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. The stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help you transport it to your car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children simultaneously. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers are usually heavier and more long than single to double stroller models.

If you're seeking a light and affordable option the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a highly rated and cost-effective option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants and the newer version allows the seats to face either direction. We found the latest version to be less bulky than the previous model, however it still weighs a little more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. It can hold one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different car seat brands using a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller that can handle large loads without strain. We also liked the way the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids of the same age you might want to consider a model that lets you sit and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with two infant car seats or one toddler seat, and comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, however the company that makes it is a small family business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins who are infants A stroller that can accept them will be essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double 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 because you can choose from a variety of prices and not be shackled into a single brand.

You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement, and it's easier to maneuver -- particularly in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller however, 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.

We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options for families with twins in the infant stage 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 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transfer their babies from their car to the double stroller in comfort.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also spacious. These baskets are great for storing all your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage area also comes with a place to store your keys and phone. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, so you don't have to search for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It has the same degree of versatility to some 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 excellent option for twins from birth until early childhood.
