Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby, you might choose to use a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 smallest double buggy or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you change the car seat carriers in the same or opposite direction. It also comes with a large storage bin, that can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doors.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a stunning, huge twin stroller that holds two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold 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 spacious UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. It comes with a toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet-like seat for small children and infants. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough for all your stuff and includes a handy place to store your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.

It can be difficult to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the other. You'll also need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it down, a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers we tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to be compatible with the new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with adapters that were originally used and the new ones. It can also be folded with two adapters connected simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and can carry twins in infant carriers side-by-side. It is a popular choice among parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design reduces the overall length to ensure that it can fit better into some 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 most simple to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child who is at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. It's still a great option for families who wish to go jogging, and the sturdy design means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is particularly true if you're going over bumps or rough terrain during your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and shocks. The more smooth a stroller's ride and the more shocks it has.

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 ideal if you plan on using it for multiple children or for a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension and it's an old model. It comes with many features parents will love, including two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a large storage basket. It also comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be 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 as a twin stroller or with an infant seat that is placed in front. It is packed with storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened and closed with one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is crucial as it will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. That's something that's not always present on strollers, but it should be a requirement for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The second top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all of the wonderful features we like such as reversible seats, one-hand reclining, compressing padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also has adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it simpler to flip the seats around when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models come with extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that buckles at the shoulder and waist--making it simple for a single parent to take the kids both out. The bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old. older, so it's not the best choice for twins or children who are younger. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact size and comes with a handle on the sides to help roll it up to the 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 and make it easier for parents to monitor and interact with them. On the other hand, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget pick Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is an affordable and highly rated choice. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version can be set up in either direction. We found the most recent version to be less bulky than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Parents who want to run in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can hold one car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't have an integrated infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats with an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids with similar age, you may prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or a single toddler seat and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller however the company that makes it is a small, family-owned company with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage, a stroller that accepts them will be essential. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double Push Chair works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands since it allows you to browse for a wide range of prices without being locked into one particular brand.

It's also important to decide whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in narrow 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 fighting between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found that there are numerous stroller options for families with twins who are infants or children of similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for example, is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to move their children from the vehicle to the double pram pushchair stroller in comfort.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are great for storing all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage area also includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets are sided with mesh to prevent objects from falling, meaning you don't have to search around for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It provides the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. 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 choice for twins from birth until early childhood.
