Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You might opt for a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats during the baby days. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 cheap double pushchair and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and comes with a large storage bin that is accessible without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits through most doors.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glids, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It has adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and has a convenient spot to stash your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar in one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. You'll also need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company has updated the Vista to be compatible with the latest 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 will fold with two of the adapters connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats and both babies can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a favorite for many parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the press of one 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 made for a large child who is at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not a good choice for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great option for families who want to go jogging and the robust construction means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially important when you're navigating bumps or taking rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension generally have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother it will travel.

In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will make it last longer and is a great option if you intend to use it with multiple children or over a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go cheap double stroller is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It comes with a variety of features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder, and an storage basket that can accommodate lots of items. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height which is useful for taller parents.

Another option for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It is a very spacious stroller that folds to a compact size. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened and closed with one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that keeps your children secure in the case of an accident. This feature is not always included on strollers, but is mandatory for families with toddlers or infants.

The second top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all of the great features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand reclining, compressing padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it simpler to flip the seats around while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models come with extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that is adjustable at the waist and shoulders, making it easy for a single parent to take both kids out. The bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, so it's not the best choice for twins or children who are younger. We liked the fact that it folds down into a compact size and comes with a handle on the sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double travel stroller stroller due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow you to see both children at once which makes it easier for parents to supervise and converse with them. The downside is that side-byside strollers are generally heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking to find a light option, our budget pick Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is an affordable and highly rated selection. It can be used to accommodate two infant car seats. The latest version can be set up in any direction. The most recent version 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 jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. It can hold one car seat at any given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands via a click-in-adapter, even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller, that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also liked the way the handles could be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two children with the same age, you may prefer a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller 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 more expensive than our budget stroller but it's made by a small family-owned company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which can take them is necessary. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with most popular brands. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can pick from a variety 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 stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces and 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 you use a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

Fortunately, we've found there are numerous stroller options that can be used by families with infant twins or children of similar in age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are large. They're perfect for storing everything you need, including backpacks, diapers and other clothes. The front storage comes with a place to store your phone and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to prevent items from falling over, so you don't have to search for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It has the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it a great choice for twins from birth through early childhood.
