Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose a lightweight frame that can accommodate two car seats for infants in the early days of your baby. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you rotate the car seat in the opposite direction or the same. It also has an enormous storage bin which can be opened without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doorways.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning twin stroller that carries two infant car seats fitted with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous 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 used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and young children. The large storage basket is spacious enough to accommodate all your items and includes a handy place to store your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.

But it's also awkward to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. You'll also have remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than the other double strollers we tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to work with the new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions, and it can even fold with two adapters connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side-by-side. It is a favorite among parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it can fit better into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the most simple to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child of at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar ages. It's still a great option for families who wish to run and the robust construction 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 is a feature that makes it more comfortable for kids. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and they typically have more shocks than strollers with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother it will travel.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller with car seats more durable. It will last longer and is a great option if you are planning to use it for multiple children or for a prolonged time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is among the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It is packed with features that parents love, like two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit and stand stroller that can be used as a twin stroller, or with a single infant seat in the front. It's a spacious stroller that folds down to a small size. It also has some nice touches that we like, including magnetic straps for the crotch that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. It's not often included on strollers but it's an essential feature for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we like, including reversible seating and one-hand recline with a padding that compresses 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 allow for easier reversing of seats when you move.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features the front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single person to take both kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore, it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we liked that the stroller folds up into a compact double stroller unit and has a handle on both sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents may prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These kinds of strollers let you see both children at once which makes it easier for a parent to supervise and talk with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are looking for a lightweight and affordable option Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a highly-rated and budget-friendly option. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version allows them to be positioned in either direction. We found the latest version to be less bulky than the previous model, however it weighs a bit more and is a bit larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who prefer to run. It can hold one car seat at any given time. It is also compatible with 23 different brands of car seats via a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't have an infant carrier included. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can carry big loads without straining. Also, we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer a model that allows you to sit and stand like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with two infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins and a stroller that accepts them is essential. A majority of our top-scoring double buggy strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be shackled into one brand.

It's also important to decide whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers the traditional seating configuration, and it's easier to maneuver -- especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights may result in a fight between siblings.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children who are the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for instance, is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. Parents can move their children from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are big, too. They're perfect for storing all your gear including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. Additionally, the front storage has a dedicated compartment for phone and keys. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you don't need to keep rummaging for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller It offers a similar versatility to some of our top award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be used in either direction. This makes it a great option for twins from birth until early childhood.
