Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may decide to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows 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 also fits easily 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 fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single to double pushchair-seater stroller. It has footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable, a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for small children and infants. The large storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and includes a handy place to store your phone or purse, and four cup holders.

However, it can be difficult to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it down, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we've tried. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with their 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 it will even fold with two adapters connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by-side. It is a popular choice among parents who have small cars. The clever design minimizes the overall length so that it is able to fit into certain trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they can recline to multiple positions with the push of a button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child of at least 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins or siblings of similar age. It's still a great option for families who wish to run, and the sturdy design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for kids. This is particularly true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and typically come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother its travel.

A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will make it last longer and is ideal if intend to use it for a number of children or for a prolonged period.

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has excellent suspension for the wheels and is an old model that's been around for a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It comes with a variety of features that parents love, including two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder, and a storage basket that can hold a lot. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height, which can be helpful for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and- stand stroller that can either be used as a twin stroller or with a single infant seat in the front. It is a very spacious stroller that folds down to a compact size. It also has some nice touches that we like for example, magnetic straps for the crotch that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is crucial because it keeps your children safe in case of an accident. This isn't always found on strollers however it's mandatory for any family with infants or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. 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 both canopies and extra-large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and a new seat design to allow for easier reversing of seats on the move.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children shielded from the sun or rain and some models include extra features, such as the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2 includes an front seat with a buckle that is adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it simple for one caregiver to take two children out. Its bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old therefore it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. This stroller is compact and has handles on both sides to help transport it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children at the same time. On the downside, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're seeking a light and affordable option Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and affordable choice. It can accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version allows them to be positioned in any direction. The latest model is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to run the twin jogger that we recommend as our top pick is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands using the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining. Also, we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer an option that lets you stand and sit, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit the infant car seats or one toddler seat, and comes with a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller however, it's manufactured by a small, family-owned business with great customer service.

Seating

If you're planning on using car seats for twins in the infant stage, a stroller that accepts these seats is essential. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seats brands since it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being tied to the same brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side design offers a more traditional seating configuration and is also easier to maneuver -- particularly in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller however it can be more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights may also lead to a fight between siblings.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children of the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. This lets parents transfer their babies from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also spacious. These baskets are ideal for storing all your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage area has a designated compartment for your keys and phone. The baskets are made of mesh to stop objects from falling, meaning you don't have 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 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 great option for twins from birth until early childhood.
