Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days, you might choose to purchase a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to face either in the opposite direction or the same way and also has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carrier. It can also fit through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a large beautiful twin stroller. It can accommodate two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glids, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out at the sky, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. The toddler seat included can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and young children. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough to hold all your belongings and comes with a convenient place to keep your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.

It isn't easy to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the second. It is also necessary remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double buggy with car seat strollers that we've tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with the new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters as well as the new ones. It can also be folded with two adapters attached simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and both babies can be sat in infant carriers at the same time. It is a favorite among parents who have small cars. The clever design reduces the overall length so that it can fit better into certain trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to a variety of positions at the touch of a button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only issue with 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 ideal for twins or siblings close in age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to run and its robust structure means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is a crucial feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your kids. This is particularly true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The more comfortable a stroller rides, the more shocks it has.

A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is a plus for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or a long period of time.

It also has a height-adjustable handle, which can be helpful for taller parents.

It is packed with storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also has some pleasant features we like for example, magnetic straps for crotch that can be opened and closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness to keep your children secure in the case of an accident. This is something that is not always included on strollers, but it is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

It also has a height-adjustable handle and a new seat design to allow for easier reversing of seats while moving.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children shielded from the sun or rain, and a few models include extra features, such as the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2 includes the front seat with an adjustable 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 is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old. old, so it's not the ideal choice for twins or children who are younger. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you transport it to your car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children at the same time. The downside is that side-byside strollers are generally heavier and more long than single to double pushchair models.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is an affordable and highly rated option. It is compatible with two car seats for infants, and the newer version lets the seats face either direction. The latest version is more compact than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

And even though it doesn't have an integrated infant carrier it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats via an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids of the same age you may want to choose an option that allows you to sit and stand like the Joovy twin stroller side by side Roo+. It can be used with a pair of infant car seats or one toddler seat, and offers a standing platform that allows older children to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, but it's made by a small, family-owned business 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. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double buggy With Carrycot works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands because it lets you shop at a greater variety of prices without being locked into a specific brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

Fortunately, we've found that there are numerous stroller options to suit families with twins who are infants or children who are the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). 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 perfect for storing all of your gear including diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage area has a designated compartment for keys and phone. The baskets have mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you don't have to search for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller It offers a similar range of features as some of our higher-end award winners. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a great choice for twins from birth to early childhood.
