Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You might opt for an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two car seats during the first few months of life. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the 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 can also fit through the majority of doors.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a large, beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two infant car seats when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It features adjustable footrests and legrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The included toddler seat can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket offers plenty of space to store everything you need and comes with four cup holders, a place to keep your purse or phone.

But it can also be awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers we tested. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate 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 fold 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 twins can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It is a favourite among parents who have small vehicles. The clever design reduces the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to various positions with the push of the button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a large child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not ideal for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great choice for families that want to exercise and the durable structure means it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is an important feature since it can make it more comfortable for your kids. This is particularly true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than those that do not. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother its travel.

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

One of the best twin strollers with car seats for infants has an excellent suspension on the wheels and is a model that's been around since a while The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It is packed with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder and a huge storage basket. It has a height adjustable handle that is useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. It is a sit-and- stand stroller that could be used as a twin stroller or with a single infant seat in front. It offers plenty of storage space and is compact when folded. It also has a few nice touches that we like for example, magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children secure in the case of an accident. This isn't always present on strollers but it's a requirement for any family with infants or toddlers.

Another top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all the features we love, such as recline with one hand and reversible seating as well as the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension for both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to allow for easier reversing of seats when you move.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children shielded from the sun or rain, and a few models include extra features, such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2, features the front seat with an adjustable buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it easy for a single parent to take two children out. Its bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old so it is not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we loved that this stroller folds into a compact unit and has a handle on both sides to help move it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These kinds of strollers allow you to see both children at once, making it easy for parents to supervise and talk with them. On the downside, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable alternative, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and affordable choice. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the more recent version lets the seats face either way. The newer model is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to run the twin jogger that we recommend as our top pick is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at any given time. It also works with 23 different brands of car seats via an adapter that clicks in, even though it does not have an infant carrier included. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can hold large loads without straining. And we were impressed by the way the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids with the same age, you may want to choose a stroller that allows you to sit and stand like the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also has an elevated platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, however the company that makes it is a small family company with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins and a stroller that can take them is necessary. A lot of our top-scoring cheap double stroller strollers come with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with all the top brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat and an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers that can work with multiple infant car seat brands, as it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being tied to a specific brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights could result in an argument between siblings.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children with the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for example, is a highly rated option and compatible with car seats. This allows parents to transfer their children from their vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are perfect for storing all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage area also comes with a place to store your keys and phone. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, meaning you won't have to look around for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another option that is budget-friendly. It has the same level of versatility as some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can face either direction. This makes it a great choice for twins from birth to early childhood.
