Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also has an ample storage bin that can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It also fits easily through the majority of doorways.

Folding Ease

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out and padded five-point security harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. The included toddler seat can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket has plenty of room for all your belongings and features four cup holders, which is a space to store your phone or purse.

But it's also difficult to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar, and another 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 strollers we've tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with the 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 positions, and it will even fold with two of the adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It works with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It's a popular choice for parents driving smaller cars, and its clever design shortens the overall length to fit better in some compact trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the easiest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a big kid who is at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not suitable for twins or siblings that are close in age. However, it's a great choice for families who want to run and its robust construction means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially important when you're navigating bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension typically come with larger wheels and shocks. The more smooth a stroller's ride and the more shocks it will have.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension also makes a Leila 1+1 Twin Pushchair: Lightweight Tandem Stroller For Twins stroller with car seats more durable. It will make it last longer and is ideal if you are planning to use it for multiple children or for a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension, and it's an old model. It's loaded with features that many parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder, and an storage basket that can accommodate many items. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height which is useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It has a ton of storage space and is compact when folded. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the case of an accident. That's something that's not always found on strollers however it's mandatory for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that can accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we like, including recline with one hand and reversible seating with a the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and an improved seat design to make it easier to reverse seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models come with extra features, such as a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2, features the front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it easy 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, so it is not suitable for twins or younger siblings. We liked that this stroller folds into a compact double stroller package and comes with a handle on each side to help you carry it to the car.

Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow you to view both children at the same time and make it easier for a parent to monitor and interact with them. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers are usually heavier and longer than single models.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is an affordable and highly rated choice. It accepts two car seats for infants and the latest version allows the seats to face either direction. We found the most recent model to be more compact than the previous model, however it weighs a bit more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that like to jog. It can hold one car seat at any given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't have an infant carrier integrated. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller, that can handle large loads without stress. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids with similar age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company behind it is a small family business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twin infants then a stroller that accepts them is essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. For instance, 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 can work with a variety of infant car seats brands since it allows you to browse for a wide range of prices without having to commit to the same brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is more maneuverable -- particularly in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights may also lead to fighting between siblings.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children of similar age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also spacious. These baskets are perfect for storing all your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage area has a designated compartment for keys and phone. The baskets come with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, so you won't have to keep rummaging for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same range of features as some of our more expensive award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it an excellent choice for twins, from birth to early childhood.
