Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
When you are a baby you may want to use a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model allows the car seat carriers to face either same or opposite directions and comes with a large storage bin that is accessible without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doors.
Folding is easy
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stunning, huge twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glids, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It has adjustable leg and footrests and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can also use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket has plenty of space to store all your belongings. double buggy side by side has four cup holders, as well as a space to store your phone or purse.
It can be difficult to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar in one hand and the seat for your child in the other. And you'll 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 we test. The company has updated its Vista stroller to work with their new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the updated ones. It can also be folded using two adapters attached simultaneously.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats and twins can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It is a favourite among parents who have small cars. The clever design minimizes the overall length to ensure that it can fit better into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the simplest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not suitable for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great choice for families who wish to go jogging, and the sturdy construction means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The wheel suspension on twin strollers that have car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true when you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and more shocks. The more comfortable a stroller rides, the more shocks it comes with.
In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will make it last longer and is a great option if you are planning to use it for a number of children or for a long period.
The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an old model. It has many features that parents will love, including two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that is useful for taller parents.
Another popular choice for twins with 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 twin strollers. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a small size. It also comes with a few nice touches that we like such as magnetic straps for crotch that can be opened and closed with one hand.
It also has a 5-point harness, which is vital because it keeps your kids secure in case of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but is an essential feature for families with infants or toddlers.
The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the great features we like, including reversible seats and one-hand recline, compression padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats when you move.
Canopy
A canopy can shield your children from the elements of rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2 includes an front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it possible for a single parent to take two kids out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children of at least 2 1/2, so it is not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. The stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.
Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents communicate and interact with both children at the same time. On the flip side, side-byside models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you're looking to find a light option, our budget choice, the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants, and the latest version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. The most recent model is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Parents who want to run, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can hold a single car seat at a single time. And even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in it can be used with 23 different car seats via the click-in adapter. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to fit your height.
If you have two children of the same age you may want to choose a stroller that allows you to stand and sit, such as 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 bit more expensive than our budget stroller, but it's made by a small family-owned business with great customer service.
Seating
If you are planning to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which will accept them is crucial. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For twin strollers for newborns , 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 since you can choose 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 more maneuverable -- especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different heights of the seats could cause an argument between siblings.
There are many stroller options for families with twins or children of the same age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for example, is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. Parents can carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.
The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are big, too. They're ideal for storing everything you need, including diaper bags, backpacks and other clothes. Plus, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for phones and keys. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you won't have to keep rummaging for them.
Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar versatility to some of our more expensive award winners. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can also be used with two infant car seats. This makes it an ideal option for twins starting from birth through early childhood.
