Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days, you might choose to go with a lightweight frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double buggy for twins and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows you to turn the car seat carriers in either the same or opposite direction. It also has a large storage bin, which can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through most doorways.

Folding Ease

The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a large, beautiful twin stroller. It can accommodate two car seats for infants when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It has footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can also use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space to store all your belongings and features four cup holders, as well as a place to keep your purse or phone.

It can be difficult to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the other. You'll also have remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers that we test. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the latest ones. It can be folded using two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats and both babies can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a long-time favorite of parents driving smaller cars and its clever design cuts down the overall length to fit better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they can recline to various positions with the press of one button. The buckles were among the most simple to tighten and unwind 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's not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. It's still a great choice for families that want to go jogging and the durable construction means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially true when you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and typically come with more shocks than those that do not. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother its travel.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It can help it last longer, which is a plus when you intend to use it for multiple children or for a long amount of time.

The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is one of the best twin stroller twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension and it's an older model. It has a lot of features that many parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder as well as the storage basket, which can accommodate a lot. It also has a height-adjustable handle, which can be helpful for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and- stand stroller that can either be used as a twin buggy stroller or with one infant seat in the front. It is packed with storage space and is compact when folded. It has some nice extras like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is vital because it keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. It's not often found on strollers however it's mandatory for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all of the features we love such as reversible seats, one-hand reclining, compressing padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a redesigned seat to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children safe from sun or rain, and a few models have extra features like a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features an adjustable front seat that is adjustable at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single parent to take both children out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old therefore, it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help carry it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These strollers let parents be able to talk and observe both children simultaneously. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be 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 budget-friendly option. It can fit two car seats for infants. The latest version allows them to be placed in either direction. We found the new model to be smaller than the previous model, however it still weighs a little more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a time, and even though it doesn't come with a built-in infant carrier it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats with a click-in adapter. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can carry big loads without straining. And we loved how the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit a pair of infant car seats or one toddler seat, and offers a standing platform that allows older kids to stand on. It's a little more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company that makes it is a small family company with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you plan to use car seats for twin infants, then a stroller which can take them is necessary. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat 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 recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands because it allows you to shop a wider range of prices without having to commit to 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-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may feel unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the differing seat heights can lead to sibling squabbles, so we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only when your children are close to age.

Fortunately, we've found there are numerous stroller options for families with twins in the infant stage or children who are the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand cheap double stroller stroller, for example is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to transfer their children from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also spacious. They're perfect for storing all your belongings, including backpacks, diaper bags, and extra clothes. The front storage has a dedicated compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to stop objects from falling, meaning you don't have to search to find them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double stroller with infant car seat stroller that offers the same flexibility to 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 a great choice for twins, from the time of birth to early childhood.
