Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may decide to go with a lightweight 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 allows you to rotate the car seat in either the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with an ample storage bin which can be opened without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doorways.

Easy folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats if equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glids, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point security harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. You can also use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet-like chair for infants and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, as well as a space to store your purse or phone.

It isn't easy to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the other. You'll also need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we've tried. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with their new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats and both babies can be sat in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a favorite for many parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design shortens the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to various positions with the press of a button. The buckles are among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child of at least 2 1/2. It's not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to run and its sturdy frame construction means that it won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for kids. This is especially true if you're going over bumps or taking rough terrain on your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually come with larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller has, the smoother it will ride.

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

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is among the best twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension and it's an older model. It comes with a variety of features that many parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder, and an storage basket that can accommodate lots of items. It also has a height-adjustable handle which is useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. It is a sit and stand stroller that could be used as a twin stroller, or pushchairsandprams with an infant seat that is placed in front. It's a large stroller that folds to a small size. It has some nice extras, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened and closed with one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children secure in the case of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers, but it is an essential feature for families with toddlers or infants.

The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we like, including the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand as well as the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a redesigned seat to make it easier to reverse seats while moving.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children shielded from the sun or rain Some models include extra features, such as the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 includes a front seat with an adjustable buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it easy for a single caregiver to take two children out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. The stroller is small and comes with 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 cause sibling disputes. These strollers allow parents to see and converse with both children simultaneously. On the downside, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants, and the latest version lets the seats face either direction. We found the latest version to be less bulky than the previous model, however it weighs a bit more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at any given time. It also works with 23 different brands of car seats via an adapter that clicks in, even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we loved how the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may want to choose an option that allows you to stand and sit like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller however the company that makes it is a small family company with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twin infants, then a stroller which accepts them is essential. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double travel stroller works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and a bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can pick from a variety of prices and not be locked into one brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside configuration is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the different heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest you use a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

Fortunately, we've found that there are many strollers for families with infant twins or children of the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly rated option and compatible with car seats. This allows parents to transfer their babies from the vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large as well. These baskets are ideal to store all of your diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. The front storage also includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets come with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you won't have to keep rummaging for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another option that is budget-friendly. It has the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers, and they can convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it an ideal option for twins starting from birth to early childhood.
