Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may want to purchase a light frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

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

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It has footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable, a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The oversized storage basket is big enough to accommodate all your items and includes a handy place to store your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

It can be difficult to fold, especially if you are holding the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the second. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers that we tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to be compatible with the new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the updated ones. It can be folded using two adapters attached simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats and both babies can be sat in their infant carriers simultaneously. It is a favorite among parents who have small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child that is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. It's still a great option for families who want to go jogging, and the sturdy design means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when 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 shocks a stroller comes with the smoother it will ride.

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

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

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It has a ton of storage space and is compact when folded. It also has some nice touches that we like such as magnetic straps for the crotch that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is crucial because it keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers but should be a must for families with toddlers or infants.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that can accommodate car seats. It comes with all of the wonderful features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand recline, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a new seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the sun and rain. Certain models include additional features, like an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 includes a front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it simple for a single caregiver to take two kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2, therefore it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact package and comes with a handle on each side to help you move it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow you to view both children at the same time and make it easier for a parent to supervise and converse with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget pick Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated selection. It can be used to accommodate two infant car seats. The latest version allows them to be placed in either direction. We found the latest model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it weighs a bit more and is a little longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Parents who want to run, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at any given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands via a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't have an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we liked the way that the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two children of the same age you may want to choose a model that allows you to stand and sit with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also has a 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-owned company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which can take them is necessary. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double travel stroller stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat, as well as an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can choose from a variety of prices and not be locked into a single brand.

You should also consider whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and require more space between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

We've discovered that there are numerous stroller options for families with twins in the infant stage or children of the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents take their children in comfort from the vehicle to the stroller.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are ideal for storing all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage area has a designated compartment for phones and keys. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to 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 It offers a similar flexibility to our top award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a good option for twins starting from birth through early childhood.
