It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry both babies in their 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 trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the simplest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a big kid who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old. So it's not suitable for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great choice for families that want to exercise and the durable construction means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin umbrella stroller stroller with car seats is an important feature since it can make it more comfortable for your children.

The bench seat is able to be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, so it is not suitable for twins or younger siblings.

Some parents prefer a double buggy converts to single stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These strollers allow parents to see and converse with both children at the same time. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers tend to be heavier and longer than single models.

We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, but it weighs a bit more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents prefer to run. This stroller can hold one car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in, it works with 23 different car seats using the click-in adapter. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can handle large loads without straining. And we liked the way that the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned business with great customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which will accept them is crucial. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat, as well as the bassinet. We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem double buggy stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side design offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is also easier to maneuver -- particularly in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

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 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transfer their babies from their vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are large. They're ideal for storage of all your gear, including backpacks, diaper bags and even extra clothes. The front storage comes with a place to store your phone and keys. The baskets have mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, meaning you don't need to search for them.
