Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose a lightweight 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 allows the car seat carriers to be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doors.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a large, beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows and padded five-point security harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to accommodate all your items and includes a handy place to store your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.

But it's also awkward to fold, especially if you have 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 down, a process that is more time-consuming than other double buggy travel system strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company has upgraded the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the updated ones. It can also fold with two adapters connected simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive cars with smaller wheels, and its clever design reduces the overall length to fit better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they can recline to various positions with the press of one button. The buckles are among the simplest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a big kid who is 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 who want to jog and its sturdy frame construction means that it will not wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true if you're going over bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller comes with, the smoother it will travel.

A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal when you intend to use it for multiple kids or for a long amount of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the best twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension and it's an older model. It has many features that parents love, like two cup holders, an integrated parent console that has a cup holder, and a large storage bin. It also has 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. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with a single to double pushchair infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller that folds down to a compact size. It comes with some nice features like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened and 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 is something that isn't always found on strollers but should be a must for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the wonderful features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand reclining, compressing padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopies and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to flip the seats around while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect 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, the BravoFor2 has the front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it easy for one caregiver to take two children out. The bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old. older, which means it's not the best option for twins or children who are younger. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact unit and comes with a handle on each side to help you roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children at the same time. The downside is that side-byside strollers are usually heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a lightweight twin stroller and affordable option the Baby Trend smallest double buggy 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 can be set up in any direction. The most recent model is more compact than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents prefer to run. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't have an integrated infant carrier it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats with the click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller that can handle large loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to your height.

If you have two children with the same age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit 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 on using car seats for twins in the infant stage, a stroller that accepts them will be essential. 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 recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

It's also important to decide whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin pushchair from birth stroller that has a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. In addition, the different heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

Fortunately, we've found there are plenty of stroller options for families with twins in the infant stage or children of the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are big, too. These baskets are perfect to store all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage has a dedicated compartment for phone and keys. The baskets are made of mesh to stop items from falling, so you don't need to search around for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller It offers a similar flexibility to our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and be converted to two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be used in either direction. This makes it a good option for twins starting from birth to early childhood.
