Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days, you might choose to use a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double single pushchair or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to change the car seat carriers in the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with an ample storage bin which can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doors.

Folding Ease

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stunning, huge twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats that have the proper adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glids around, pushes and turns as a single-seater 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. The toddler seat included can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The oversized storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and includes a handy place to keep your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

However, it can be awkward to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. And you’ll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it up, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to work with the new car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and will fold with two adapters attached at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and can carry twins in infant carriers side by side. It is a favorite among parents who have small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child of at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins or siblings with similar ages. But it’s still an excellent option for families that want to run, and its tough structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we’ve tested.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you’re walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than those without. The more smooth a stroller’s ride the more shocks it has.

A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It can help it last longer, which is great when you intend to use it for multiple children or for a long amount of time.

One of the best twin strollers with car seats for infants has excellent suspension for 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 love, like two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder and a large storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Another option for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit and stand stroller that can either be used as a twin stroller, or with one infant seat in front. It’s a spacious stroller and folds up to a compact size. It also has a few pleasant features we like, including magnetic straps for the crotch that can be opened and closed with just one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children safe in the case of an accident. This is something that is not always included on strollers double, but it is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

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

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children shielded from the sun or rain, and a few models come with extra features such as a peekaboo window 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 person to take both kids out. Its 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. However, we loved the fact that it folds down into a compact package and comes with a handle on both sides to help move it to your car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children simultaneously. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single and double stroller strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable option the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a highly-rated and cost-effective option. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the more recent version allows the seats to face either way. The most recent version is smaller than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep’s Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who prefer to run. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at any given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands via an adapter that clicks in, even though it doesn’t have an infant carrier built-in. It’s a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining. And we liked the way that the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children of the same age you might want to consider a stroller that allows you to sit and stand with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older children to stand on. It’s a tad more expensive than our budget stroller but it’s made by a small, family-owned business with a great customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which accepts them is essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single double Stroller car seat and an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands, as it allows you to browse a wider range of prices without being locked into a specific 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 an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is more maneuverable — especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller may feel unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights may result in an argument between siblings.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children with similar age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N’ Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transport their babies in comfort from their car to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also spacious. These baskets are great to store all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage includes a space for your keys and phone. The baskets are mesh-sided to stop objects from falling, meaning you don’t have to search around for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar flexibility to 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 a good option for twins from the time of birth to early childhood.
