Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two infant car seats during the baby days. Some of the best compact double stroller options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you rotate the car seat in either the same or opposite direction. It also comes with an enormous storage bin which can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits easily through most doorways.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats that have the proper adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glides and pushes easily with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. The included toddler seat can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space for all your belongings and features four cup holders, as well as a place to store your phone or purse.

But it can also be awkward to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar, and another on the car seat of your child. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it down, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company has upgraded the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with adapters that were originally used and the updated ones. It can even be folded with two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and both babies can be sat in infant carriers simultaneously. It is a favorite among parents who have small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it fits better in certain trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they can recline to a variety of positions at the press of a button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings with similar age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to run, and its tough construction means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is a crucial feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension typically come with larger wheels and shocks. The more comfortable a stroller rides the more shocks it has.

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

One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants has great wheel suspension and is one that's been around for a while the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It has many features that parents love, like two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder, and a large storage bin. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height that can be useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins with infant car seats. This is a sit and stand stroller that can be used as a twin stroller or with one infant seat in the front. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a compact size. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is important because it keeps your children safe in case of an accident. This isn't always included on strollers, but it should be a requirement for any family with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we love, including reversible seating and one-hand recline as well as compression padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats when you're on the go.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children shielded from the sun or rain Some models come with extra features such as the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 is equipped with an adjustable front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist--making it simple for a single parent to take both kids out. Its bench seat is made to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the ideal choice for twins or children who are younger. The stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help transport it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These kinds of strollers allow you to view both children at once, making it easy for parents to supervise and talk with them. The downside is that side-byside strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

If you're looking for a light alternative, our budget-friendly pick Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a reasonable and highly rated choice. It is compatible with two infant car seats, and the more recent version allows the seats to be positioned in any direction. We found the latest model to be more compact than its predecessor, however it still weighs more and is a bit larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents prefer to run. It can accommodate one car seat at a single time. And even though it doesn't have an infant carrier built-in it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats via the click-in adapter. It's a sturdy and well-constructed 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 want to choose a stroller that allows you to sit and stand like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company that makes it is a small family business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you plan to use car seats for twins and a stroller that will accept them is crucial. Many of our top-scoring double strollers work with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat as well as an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can choose from a wide range of prices and not be tied to one brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side design offers a more traditional seating configuration and is also easier to maneuver -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and requires more space between the seats. Additionally, the various seat heights can lead to sibling squabbles, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

We've discovered that there are numerous stroller options that can be used by families with twins in the infant stage or children who are similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. This lets parents carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large as well. They're perfect for storing all your belongings, including diaper bags, backpacks and even extra clothes. Additionally, the front storage area has a designated compartment for keys and phone. The baskets are sided with mesh to prevent items from falling over, so you don't have to search around to find them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar range of features as some of our top award winners. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it an excellent choice for twins, from birth to early childhood.
