Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may decide to purchase a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you rotate the car seat in either the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with an ample storage bin that can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doorways.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stunning, huge twin stroller that carries two infant car seats that have the proper adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glides and pushes easily with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to unfasten and fasten. You can also use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like chair for babies and small children. The large storage basket is big enough to accommodate all your items and comes with a convenient place to keep your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.

It isn't easy to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar with one hand while holding the child's seat in the other. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers that we test. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to be compatible with the new car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both configurations, and will fold with two adapters at the same time.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It works with 23 different car seat models and can carry twins in infant carriers side by side. It's a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design shortens the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the most simple to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for a child who is at least 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins or siblings of similar ages. It's still a great choice for families who want to jog and its sturdy structure means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension 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're going over bumps or rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and they typically come with more shocks than those that do not. The more shocks a stroller has, the smoother it will ride.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It can help it last longer, which is ideal for those who plan to use it for multiple children or for a long period of time.

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has an excellent suspension on the wheels, and it's an old model that's been around for long enough: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It has many features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console that has a cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be 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 a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller that folds down to a compact size. It also has a few nice features that we love such as magnetic straps for crotch that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your children secure in the case of an accident. That's something that's not always present on strollers but it's a requirement for any family with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that can accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we love, including reversible seats and one-hand reclining, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a new seat design to allow for easier reversing of seats when you move.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the rain and sun. Some models come with extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features a front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single person to take both children out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old so it is not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact package and has a handle on each side to help you roll it up to the 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 let parents communicate and interact with both children at the same time. On the other hand, side-by-side models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking to find a light alternative, our budget-friendly pick Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a reasonable and highly rated option. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and the more recent version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. The most recent model is more compact than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents like to jog. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different brands of car seats via a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't have an infant carrier integrated. This is a sturdy, well-made stroller, which can carry heavy loads without stress. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to your height.

If you have two children with similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also has a platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company that makes it is a small-scale family business that provides excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're planning on using car seats for twins who are infants, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double buggy sale works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands because it lets you shop for a wide range of prices without being tied to one particular brand.

It's also important to decide whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, especially in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

There are many stroller options for families with twins or children who are the same age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly-rated option and compatible with car seats. Parents can carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are big as well. They're ideal for storage of all your gear including backpacks, diapers and even extra clothes. Plus, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for your keys and phone. The baskets come with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you don't have to look around for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar flexibility to our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be transformed into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can also be used with two infant car seats. This makes it a great option for twins from birth until early childhood.
