Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats for infants during the first few months of life. Some of the best Twin stroller options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to rotate the car seat in either the same or opposite direction. It also has an enormous storage bin which can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It can also fit through most doors.

Folding Ease

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two infant car seats if equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable footrests and legrests and a huge 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 chair for small children and infants. The oversized storage basket is big enough to hold all terrain double buggy your belongings and includes a handy place to stash your phone or purse and four cup holders.

But it can also be difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar and the other on the child's car seat. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it up--a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers we've test. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both configurations, and it can even fold with two of the adapters connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our favorite infant car seat twin stroller frame. 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 popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to multiple positions with the push of a button. The buckles are among the easiest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child who is at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suitable for twins or siblings of similar ages. It's still a great option for families that want to exercise and the durable design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on twin strollers that have car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for kids. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and typically come with more shocks than those without. The more shocks a stroller has, the smoother it will ride.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension makes a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will last longer and is ideal if intend to use it for multiple children or over a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an old model. It has many features that parents will love, including two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder and a large storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Another option for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit and stand stroller that could be used as a twin stroller, or with one infant seat in the front. It has a ton of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is important because it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This feature is not always included on strollers, but it is a must 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 with a the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also has height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it easier to reverse the seats when you're on the go.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the rain and sun. Some models have extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 includes a front seat with an adjustable buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it possible for one caregiver to take two kids out. Its bench seat is made to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the ideal choice for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help take it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These strollers allow you to view both children at once which makes it easier for parents to supervise and talk 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 and affordable option Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a highly-rated and cost-effective option. It can be used to accommodate two infant car seats. The newer version allows them to be placed in either direction. The newer model is more compact than the 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. It can hold one car seat at a given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands using an adapter that clicks in, even though it doesn't have an infant carrier built-in. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can handle large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids who are similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also comes with an elevated 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, family-owned company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twin infants and a stroller that will accept them is crucial. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights could cause fighting between siblings.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children of the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can move their children from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. They're ideal for storing everything you need, including backpacks, diaper bags and other clothes. The front storage comes with a place to store keys and phones. The baskets are mesh-sided to prevent items from falling over, so you don't need to search to find them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double pushchair with car seat stroller that offers the same flexibility to our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a good option for twins from the time of birth to early childhood.
