Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby, you might choose to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carriers. It can also fit through most doors.

Folding Ease

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a stunning, huge twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats with the proper adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can also use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough to accommodate all your items and includes a handy place to stash your phone or purse, and four cup holders.

But it can also be difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. You'll also have to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than other double strollers that we tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to be compatible with their new car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions and it will even fold with two of the adapters at the same time.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin strollers for newborns stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and both babies can be sat in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design shortens the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined to various positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. It's still a great option for families that want to run, and its tough frame construction means that it will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially true when you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and typically have more shocks than those that do not. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it comes with.

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

One of the best twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has great wheel suspension and is one that's been around for long enough: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It comes with a variety of features that many parents love, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and a storage basket that can accommodate many items. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit and stand double stroller-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It has a ton of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice extras like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your children secure in the case of an accident. It's not often included on strollers, but it should be mandatory 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 comes with all the features we love such as reversible seats, one-hand recline, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the sun and rain. Certain models include additional features, like a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2, has a front seat that is adjustable at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single parent to take both kids out. Its bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old. old, so it's not the best option for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact and comes with handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a side-by-side cheap double buggy stroller because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These types of strollers also allow you to see both children at the same time, making it easy for a parent to supervise and talk with them. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are usually heavier and more long than single models.

If you are seeking a light and affordable option the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly rated and budget-friendly option. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the latest version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. We found the new model to be smaller 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 for parents that prefer to run. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at any given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands using the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it does not have an infant carrier integrated. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can carry big loads without straining. Also, we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children of the same age you may prefer a model that lets you sit and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with the infant car seats or one toddler seat, and has a standing platform for 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 family business that provides excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports them will be essential. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers work with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with all the top brands. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double seat stroller works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can choose from a variety of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration and is more maneuverable -- particularly in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights may cause fighting between siblings.

We've discovered that there are numerous stroller options to suit families with twins who are infants or children of the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are great for storing all your gear including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage has a dedicated compartment for phones and keys. The baskets are sided with mesh to prevent items from falling over, so you don't need to search around to find them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It provides the same level of versatility as some of our award-winning strollers. 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.
