Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may want to purchase a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the best travel double stroller choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

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

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It has adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like chair for infants and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space for all your belongings and features four cup holders, a place to store your purse or phone.

However, it can be difficult to fold, particularly when you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. You'll also need to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it up, a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we have tried. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it can even fold with two of the adapters connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry twins in infant carriers side by side. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design reduces the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the press of one button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child who is at least 2 1/2. It is not suited for twins or siblings with similar ages. It's still a great choice for families who wish to go jogging and the robust design means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on twin stroller side by side strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true if you're going over bumps or rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother its ride.

A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will last longer and is ideal if you intend to use it with multiple children or for a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension, and it's an older model. It has a lot of 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 many items. It also has a height-adjustable handle, which can be helpful for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit and stand stroller that could be used as a twin stroller or with an infant seat that is placed in the front. It is packed with storage space and is compact when folded. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

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

The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all the features we love, including reversible seating and one-hand recline as well as padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy, and a large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a new seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain Some models include extra features, such as the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2, features the front seat with an adjustable buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and shoulder. This makes it easy for a single caregiver to take two kids out. Its bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact and comes with handles on both sides to help you take it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side because it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children at the same time. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

If you're looking for a light option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is an affordable and highly rated selection. It can fit two infant car seats. The newer version can be set up in any direction. We found the new model to be more compact than its predecessor, however it weighs a bit more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to jog in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at any 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 have an infant carrier included. This is a sturdy, well-made stroller, which can carry heavy loads without strain. We also liked how the handles could be adjusted to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may want to choose a stroller that lets you sit and stand like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older children to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins who are infants, a stroller that accepts them will be essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known 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 bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can choose from a variety of prices and not be tied into one brand.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is also more maneuverable -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. Additionally, the various seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

Fortunately, we've found that there are plenty of stroller options that can be used by families with infant twins or children who are the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 pushchairs double stroller is highly rated that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transport their babies in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. They're perfect for storing all your gear including backpacks, diaper bags and even extra clothes. The front storage also comes with a place to store keys and phones. The baskets are sided with mesh to keep objects from falling, meaning you don't have to rummage for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another option that is budget-friendly. It provides the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a great option for twins from birth until early childhood.
