Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

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

This model allows car seat carriers to be facing either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats that have the proper adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It features footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable and a huge 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 that is a bassinet-like chair for babies and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space to store everything you need and comes with four cup holders, which is a place to keep your phone or purse.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the other. 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've test. The company has updated its Vista stroller to be compatible with the new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters as well as the new ones. It can even be folded with two adapters that can be connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin pushchair from birth stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats and both babies can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a long-time favorite of parents driving smaller cars and its innovative design reduces the overall length so that it fits better in some compact trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to multiple positions with the push of a button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child of at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suitable for twins or siblings of similar ages. It's still a great choice for families who want to run and the robust design means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than those without. The more shocks a stroller has, the smoother it will travel.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is great if you plan on using it for multiple children or for a long amount of time.

One of the best twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels, and it's an old model that's been around for a while the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It has a lot of features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder and an storage basket that can hold many items. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins with infant car seats. 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's a large Stroller Double that folds to a compact size. It has some nice extras, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is vital because it keeps your kids secure in case of an accident. This feature is not always on strollers, but it is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that can accommodate car seats. It has all the features we love, such as the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and a new 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. Some models have additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices that we recommend, the BravoFor2, has the front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it easy for a single caregiver to take both kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2, therefore, it's not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you take it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. On the flip side, side-byside models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a light alternative, our budget-friendly pick is the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated selection. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the newer version allows the seats to be positioned in any direction. We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, but 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 that parents like to jog. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different car seat brands via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier integrated. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also liked how the handles could be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids with similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit two infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also offers a standing platform that allows older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company that makes it is a small-scale family business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for infant twins, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. Many of our top-scoring double buggy with car seat strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seat brands, as it lets you shop at a greater variety of prices without being tied to the same brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller however, can feel more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different heights of the seats could result in a fight between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found that there are plenty of stroller options to suit families with twins who are infants or children of the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transfer their children from their car to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large and spacious, too. They're ideal for storing all your belongings, including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. Plus, the front storage has a dedicated compartment for your keys and phone. The baskets have 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 flexibility to our more expensive award winners. 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 an excellent choice for twins, from birth to early childhood.
