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 double strollers options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to rotate the car seat in the opposite direction or in the same. It also has an ample storage bin that can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through most doorways.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stunning, huge twin stroller that holds two infant car seats that have the proper adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides and pushes easily while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to fasten and unfasten. The included toddler seat can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants and young children. The large storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and has a convenient spot to stash your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.

It isn't easy to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar with one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double strollers we tested. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to accommodate 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 will fold with two adapters at the same time.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular twin stroller for infants. frame. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its clever design cuts down the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to a variety of positions at the push of a button. The buckles are among the easiest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only downside 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. It's still a great choice for families that want to run and the robust structure means it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and typically have more shocks than those without. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother it will travel.

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

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with great wheel suspension and is one that's been around for a while The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It comes with a variety of features that many parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder, and a storage basket that can hold a lot. It has a height adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Another option for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit and stand stroller that can either be used as a twin stroller, or with one infant seat in the front. It is packed with storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It comes with some nice features, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the case of an accident. This isn't always included on strollers but it's mandatory for any family with infants or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we love, such as the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand with a padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a new seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats when you move.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children safe from rain or sun Some models have extra features like a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our most popular choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features the front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single caregiver to take both children out. The bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, so it is not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we liked that the stroller folds up into a compact package and has a handle on both sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These types of strollers also let you see both children at once which makes it easier for a parent to supervise and talk with them. The downside is that side-byside strollers are generally heavier and more long than single to double stroller models.

If you're looking for a light option, our budget choice, the Baby Trend Double Buggy With Carrycot Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated option. It accepts two infant car seats, and the newer version allows the seats to be positioned in any direction. The newer version is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents like to jog. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It can also be used with 23 different brands of car seats via an adapter that clicks in, even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier integrated. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles can be adjusted to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer an option that allows you to stand and sit like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with two infant car seats or one toddler seat, and offers a standing platform that allows older kids to stand on. It's a little 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 plan to use car seats for twins then a stroller that can take them is necessary. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single and double stroller car seat and a bassinet. We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can shop from a variety of prices and not be tied into one brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem double stroller stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may feel unstable and require more space between the seats. The different heights of the seats could also lead to a fight between siblings.

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

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large, too. These baskets are great for storing all of your gear including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage also includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets are mesh-sided to prevent objects from falling, meaning you don't have to search to find them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same range of features as some of our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be transformed into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can also be used with two infant car seats. This makes it a great option for twins from birth until early childhood.
