Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You might opt for an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two infant car seats during the baby days. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing either in the opposite direction or the same way and has a huge storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through the majority of doorways.

Folding Ease

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a stunning, huge twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the proper adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to fasten and unfasten. You can also use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space for all your belongings and features four cup holders, as well as a place to keep your phone or purse.

It isn't easy to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar in one hand while holding the child's seat in the other. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other double strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to work with its 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 of the adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side by side. It's a favorite for many parents driving smaller cars and its innovative design shortens the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the push of one button. The buckles were among the most simple to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not a good choice for twins or siblings close in age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to jog and its robust construction means that the frame will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers that have car seats makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is particularly true when you're navigating bumps or taking rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more comfortable a stroller rides and the more shocks it has.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension makes a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal for those who plan to use it for multiple children or for a long amount of time.

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has excellent suspension for the wheels and is one that's been around for since a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It's loaded with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as an storage basket that can accommodate a lot. It has a height adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. It is a sit and stand stroller that can be used as a twin buggy stroller, or with one infant seat in front. It offers plenty of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also comes with a few nice features that we love such as magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the case of an accident. That's something that's not always included on strollers, but it should be an essential feature for any family with infants or toddlers.

The second top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all of the great features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand reclining, compressing padding in 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 redesigned seat to make it easier to reverse seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the sun and rain. Some models have extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks that we recommend, the BravoFor2 features an adjustable front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single parent to take both children out. The bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, so it's not the best option for twins or younger siblings. However, we loved that the stroller folds up into a compact unit and has handles on each side to help you roll it up to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These kinds of strollers let you see both children at once and make it easier for a parent to supervise and converse with them. On the flip side, side-byside strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable alternative, the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a highly-rated and budget-friendly option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants. The latest version allows them to be placed in any direction. The newer version is smaller than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to run the twin jogger that we recommend as our top pick is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. It can hold one car seat at a given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier integrated. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can handle large loads without straining, and we loved how the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer an option that lets you sit and stand with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports these will be crucial. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat, as well as an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be shackled to one brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers the traditional seating configuration and is also easier to maneuver -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and require more space between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

There are many stroller options for families with twins or children with similar age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller for Twins: Gray Infant And Toddler stroller, for example is a highly rated option that works with car seats. This allows parents to move their children from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are spacious. These baskets are ideal for storing all your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. Plus, the front storage area has a designated compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are made of mesh to stop items from falling, so you don't need to search for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar range of features as some of our top award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted into two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a good option for twins from birth through early childhood.
