Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose a lightweight frame that can accommodate two infant car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the best compact double stroller options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to face opposite directions or in the same direction and comes with a large storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also fit through the majority of doors.

Easy folding

The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a large, beautiful twin stroller. It can accommodate two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to fasten and unfasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough for all your stuff and includes a handy place to stash your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you're holding the handlebar with one hand and 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 other double strollers we test. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both configurations, and will fold with two adapters attached at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred twin stroller for infants. frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and twins can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It's a long-time favorite of parents driving smaller cars and its clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the simplest to unfasten and fasten 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. It's still a great option for families who wish to run and its sturdy structure means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you're going over bumps or taking rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than those without. The smoother a stroller rides and the more shocks it has.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will allow it to last longer, which is great when you intend to use it for multiple kids or for a long amount of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is among the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an old model. It's loaded with features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as an storage basket that can hold many items. It also comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

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

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. This isn't always included on strollers however it's an essential feature for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate car seats. It comes with all of the features we love with reversible seats as well as one-hand recline, compression padding in both seats, adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 includes an front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it simple for a single caregiver to take two kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. However, we loved that the stroller folds up into a compact size and has a handle on the sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These strollers allow you to view both children at the same time, making it easy for parents to supervise and talk with them. On the flip side, side-byside models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable option Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a highly-rated and affordable choice. It can be used to accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version allows them to be placed in any direction. We found the new version to be less bulky than its predecessor, but it still weighs more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to jog in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at any given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands using the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it does not have an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy and well-built stroller, that can handle large loads without stress. We also loved the fact that the handles can be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids of the same age, you may want a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with a pair of infant car seats or a single double stroller toddler seat. It also has a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company that makes it is a small, family-owned company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for twins who are infants, a stroller that accepts these seats is essential. A lot of our top-scoring thule double stroller strollers work with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with all the top brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can shop from a variety of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling squabbles, so we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children of the same age. For instance the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller and Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents carry their children comfortably from the vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large and spacious, too. They're ideal for storage of everything you need including backpacks, diapers and even extra clothes. The front storage area also includes a space for your phone and keys. The baskets are made of mesh to keep items from falling over, so you don't have to rummage around for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar flexibility to our more expensive award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can face either direction. This makes it a great option for twins from birth to early childhood.
