Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two car seats in the early days of your baby. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you rotate the car seat in either the same or opposite direction. It also has an ample storage bin which can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It also fits easily through the majority of doorways.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats that have the correct adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It easily glides and pushes while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It features adjustable leg and footrests and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can also use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket has plenty of room for everything you need and comes with four cup holders, as well as a place to store your purse or phone.

It can be difficult to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar in one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. You'll also have to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which takes longer than other luxury double stroller strollers that we've test. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters as well as the updated ones. It can fold with two adapters connected simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular twin stroller for infants. frame. It works with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry both babies in their infant carriers side by side. It is a favorite among parents who drive small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to multiple positions with the press of a button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins or siblings with similar age. It's still a great option for families who wish to go jogging and the durable design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers that have car seats makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially true when you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than strollers with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with, the smoother it will travel.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension makes a twin stroller with car seats more durable. It will help it to last longer, which is a plus for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go double strollers is among the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension and it's an older model. It's loaded with features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder, and a storage basket that can hold many items. It also comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a compact size. It comes with some nice features, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. This isn't always included on strollers but it's mandatory for any family with newborns 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 seating and one-hand recline, the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a new seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models come with additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2, features the front seat with a buckle that is adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it easy for a single parent to take two kids out. The bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years older, so it's not the best choice for twins or younger siblings. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact unit and comes with a handle on each side to help you carry it to the car.

Some parents may prefer a side-by-side double stroller due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These kinds of strollers allow you to view both children at the same time, making it easy for parents to supervise and converse with them. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

If you're seeking a light and affordable alternative, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly rated and cost-effective option. It can be used to accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version allows them to be placed in either direction. We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, but it still weighs more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that like to jog. This stroller can hold one car seat at a time, and even though it does not have a built-in infant carrier, it works with 23 different car seats via a click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we liked the way that the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children with the same age, you may prefer a model that lets you sit and stand with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company behind it is a small family business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twins then a stroller that will accept them is crucial. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seat brands, as it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being tied to a specific brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights may cause fighting between siblings.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children who are similar age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for example is a highly-rated option that works with car seats. This lets parents take their children in comfort from the vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are large as well. They're ideal for storage of all your belongings including backpacks, diapers and even extra clothes. The front storage also comes with a place to store keys and phones. The baskets come with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, meaning you don't need to keep rummaging for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It provides the same level of versatility as some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it a good option for twins starting from birth through early childhood.
