Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may want to use a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. The best lightweight double stroller choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double buggy from birth or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also comes with an enormous storage bin which can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through the majority of doorways.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two infant car seats if equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It features footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable, a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket is big enough to accommodate all your items and comes with a convenient place to keep your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

But it can also be difficult ready to grow double stroller fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar and another on the child’s car seat. You’ll also need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up–a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers we test. Fortunately, the company has changed the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the new ones. It can also be folded with two adapters attached simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side by side. It’s a favorite for many parents driving smaller cars and its innovative design shortens the overall length to fit better in some compact trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded 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 downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a big kid who is at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it’s not ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age. It’s still a great option for families who wish to go jogging, and the sturdy construction means that it won’t deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially true when you’re walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension usually come with larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will travel.

In addition to being easy to steer, good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will make it last longer and is a great option if you are planning to use it for a number of children or for a prolonged time.

One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants has an excellent suspension on the wheels, and it’s a model that’s been around long enough: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It comes with many features parents will love, including two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder and a large storage basket. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that is useful for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller that folds down to a small size. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the case of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but is an essential feature for families with toddlers or infants.

Another top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we love, including the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand with a padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back when you’re on the move.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children shielded from the rain or sun and some models have extra features like a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features an adjustable front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist–making it easy for a single parent to take both children out. The bench seat is designed to hold a child who’s at least 2 1/2 years old, so it’s not the best twin buggy option for twins or younger siblings. However, we liked that the stroller folds up into a compact size and has handles on each side to help you move it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to sibling squabbles. These kinds of strollers allow you to view both children at once which makes it easier for a parent to supervise and talk with them. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers tend to be heavier and longer than single models.

If you’re looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice is the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a reasonable and highly rated selection. It can fit two car seats for infants. The latest version of the product allows them to be positioned in any direction. The latest model is more compact than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep’s Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that enjoy jogging. This stroller accommodates a single car seat at a time–and even though it doesn’t have a built-in infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats using an adapter that clicks in. It’s a sturdy and well-built stroller that can carry heavy loads without stress. We also loved the fact that the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids of the same age, you may prefer a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat and offers a standing platform that allows older children to stand on. It’s more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company that makes it is a small family business that provides outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you’re planning on using car seats for infant twins, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. A lot of our top-scoring double Stroller with foot brake strollers work 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 as well as a bassinet. We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can choose 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 side-by-side twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration and is easier to maneuver — especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. In addition, the differing seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, which is why we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

There are many stroller options for families with twins or children of similar age. For instance the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transfer their babies from their vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. They’re ideal for storing all your belongings, including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. Additionally, the front storage has a dedicated compartment for your phone and keys. The baskets come with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, so you don’t need to search for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same range of features as some of our more expensive award winners. 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 a great option for twins starting from birth to early childhood.
