Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may want to go with a lightweight frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to turn the car seat carriers in either the same or opposite direction. It also comes with an ample storage bin which can be opened without the need to take off the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Ease of folding

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. The included toddler seat can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and young children. The large storage basket has plenty of space to store everything you need and comes with four cup holders, as well as a place to keep your purse or phone.

However, it can be awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double running buggy strollers we've test. The company has updated its Vista stroller to be compatible 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 of the adapters connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It works 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 minimizes the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into certain trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suitable for twins or siblings of similar age. It's still a great option for families that want to run and the durable construction means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you're crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The smoother a stroller rides and the more shocks it comes with.

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

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels and is one that's been around for since a while The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It has a lot of features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder as well as the storage basket, which can accommodate a lot. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as a twin umbrella stroller stroller. It is packed with storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also has a few nice features that we love such as magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is vital because it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that can accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we like, including the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand, the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it easier to flip the seats around when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Some models come with additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2, features the front seat with a buckle that is adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it simple for a single caregiver to take two children out. Its bench seat is made to fit a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the best double strollers choice for twins or younger siblings. We liked the fact that it folds down into a compact size and has handles on both sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. On the downside, side-by-side models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable option Baby Trend double travel buggy Snap N-Go is a highly rated and affordable choice. It can fit two car seats for infants. The newer version allows them to be positioned in either direction. We found the most recent version to be less bulky than the previous model, however it still weighs a little more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. It can accommodate one car seat at a single time. And even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in, it works with 23 different brands of car seats with a click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining. Also, we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children who are similar age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also has a platform for older children to stand on. It's a little more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company behind it is a small, family-owned business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports them will be essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with the most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat, as well as the bassinet. We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seat brands, as it lets you shop a wider range of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different heights of the seats could cause fighting between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found there are numerous stroller options to suit families with twins in the infant stage or children who are similar in age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to take their children in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also spacious. These baskets are ideal for storing all your gear including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage area also includes a space for your keys and phone. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, meaning you don't have to keep rummaging for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand double pram for siblings is another budget-friendly option. It has the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. 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 good option for twins from birth until early childhood.
