Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to face opposite directions or in the same direction and has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It also fits through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It features adjustable footrests and legrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can 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 for all your stuff and includes a handy place to store your phone or purse and four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar with one hand while holding the child's seat in the second. You'll also have remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers we tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with the new 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 with two adapters attached simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and twins can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design shortens the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a large child who's at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age. But it's still an excellent choice for families who want to jog, and its tough construction means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is particularly true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and usually 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 a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It can help it last longer, which is a plus if you plan on using it for multiple kids or for a long amount of time.

One of the best twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels, and it's a model that's been around a while The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It comes with a variety of features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and a storage basket that can accommodate a lot. It has a height adjustable handle that is 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 with an infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It is a very spacious stroller that folds to a compact size. It also has some nice touches that we like, including magnetic straps for crotch that can be closed and opened with one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the case of an accident. That's something that's not 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 great features we like such as reversible seats, one-hand reclining, compressing padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on both canopies and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it simpler to turn the seats back while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the elements of rain and sun. Certain models include additional features, like a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that buckles at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single person to take both kids out. The bench seat is able to be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore, it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. The stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help take it to the car.

Some parents might prefer a lightest double stroller stroller that is side-by-side because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These strollers let you see both children at once and make it easier for parents to monitor and interact with them. The downside is that side by side double stroller-by-side strollers are usually heavier and longer than single to double pushchair 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 selection. It can accommodate two car seats for infants. The latest version of the product can be set up in either direction. The newer model is more compact than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to jog in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. It can hold one car seat at any given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands via a click-in-adapter, even though it does not have an infant carrier integrated. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can hold large loads without straining. And we loved how the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children of the same age you may want to choose an option that lets you sit and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small, family-owned business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're planning on using car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports them will be essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat as well as an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be locked to one 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 configuration is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and requires more space between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of seats can result in sibling squabbles, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

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

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are big as well. These baskets are great to store all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage also has a compartment for your phone and keys. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you don't need to look around for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same range of features as some of our higher-end award winners. 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.
