Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may decide to purchase a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to be facing either same or opposite directions and comes with a large storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits easily through the majority of doorways.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge gorgeous Twin umbrella stroller stroller. It can hold two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glids around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out and padded five-point security harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. The included toddler seat can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of room for everything you need and comes with four cup holders, which is a place to keep your purse or phone.

However, it can be difficult to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other double push chair strollers we test. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with adapters that were originally used and the updated ones. It can also be folded using two adapters connected simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry both babies in their infant carriers side by side. 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 some compact trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to multiple positions with the push of one button. The buckles were among the most simple to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child who is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. But it's still an excellent option for families that want to run, and its tough construction means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true when you're navigating bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will travel.

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

One of the best twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with excellent suspension for the wheels and is an old model that's been around for a while The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go double pushchair with car seat. It comes with many features parents will love, including two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle, which can be helpful 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 a single infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It's a large stroller and folds up to a compact size. It has some nice extras, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is crucial because it keeps your children safe in case of an accident. This is something that is not always included on strollers but should be an essential feature for families with toddlers or infants.

The other top pick for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we love, such as reversible seating and one-hand recline with a compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back when you're on the go.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the sun and rain. Some models come with extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 is equipped with an adjustable front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single person 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 double buggy option for twins or children who are younger. The stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help carry it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These strollers allow you to view both children at once, making it easy for a parent to supervise and converse with them. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a light option, our budget pick is the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a reasonable and highly rated selection. It accepts two infant car seats, and the newer version lets the seats face either direction. The latest model is more compact than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that enjoy jogging. It can accommodate one car seat at a single time. And even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in It can be used with 23 different car seats with the click-in adapter. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can hold large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids of similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also comes with an elevated 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 company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for twins in the infant stage the stroller that supports them will be essential. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double pushchairs 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 because you can pick from a variety of prices and not be shackled into one brand.

You should also consider whether you'd like 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 narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only when your children are close to age.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children with the same age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for example is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to move their children from the vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are big and spacious, too. These baskets are ideal for storing all of your gear including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are made of mesh to stop items from falling, so you don't have to rummage around to find them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It provides the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. 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 option for twins from birth through early childhood.
