Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You might opt for a lightweight frame that can accommodate two car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows car seat carriers to face either same or opposite directions and also has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It can also fit through the majority of doors.
Easy folding
The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glids around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to unfasten and fasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket offers plenty of room for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, a space to store your purse or phone.
But it's also difficult to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the new ones. It can be folded with two adapters attached simultaneously.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and both babies can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a favorite for many parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its clever design reduces the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the press of a button. The buckles were among the most simple to fasten and undo in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for a child of at least 2 1/2. It's not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. It's still a great option for families who want to run, and the sturdy design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially important if you're going over bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than those with no suspension. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it comes with.
In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is a plus for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or for a long period of time.
The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension and it's an old model. It comes with many features parents will love, including two cup holders, an integrated parent console that has a cup holder, and a large storage bin. It also comes with 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. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It offers plenty of 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 closed and opened with just one hand.
single to double pushchair has a 5-point harness, which is crucial as it will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This feature isn't always found on strollers, but is mandatory for families with toddlers or infants.
The second top choice 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, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to flip the seats around when you're on the go.
Canopy
A good canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain, and a few models come with extra features such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2 includes a front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it simple for a single parent to take two kids out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old so it is not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. This stroller is compact 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 cause sibling disputes. These strollers let parents communicate and interact with both children at the same time. On the other hand, side-by-side models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you are seeking a light and affordable option, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and budget-friendly option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants, and the latest version lets the seats face either direction. The latest version is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who prefer to run. This stroller can fit one car seat at any given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands using a click-in-adapter, even though it does not have an infant carrier integrated. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller that can carry heavy loads without stress. We also liked how the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.
If you have two children of the same age, you might prefer a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with two infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also offers a standing platform that allows older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company that makes it is a small family business that provides outstanding customer service.
Seating
If you're planning on using car seats for twins who are infants A stroller that can accept these seats is 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 and a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats because you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be shackled into a single brand.
You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides a more traditional seating configuration and is also more maneuverable -- particularly in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights may cause an argument between siblings.
There are many stroller options for families with twins or children with similar age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transport their babies in comfort from their car to the stroller.
The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are ideal for storing all your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. Plus, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for keys and phone. The baskets are mesh-sided to keep items from falling, so you don't have to search around for them.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It has the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be transformed into two toddler seats or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it an ideal option for twins from birth through early childhood.
