Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby, you might choose to use a light frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to face either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning pushchair twin stroller that holds two infant car seats 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 spacious UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. You can use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket has plenty of space for all your belongings and features four cup holders, as well as a space to store your phone or purse.

It isn't easy to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar in one hand and the seat for your child in the other. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it down, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we test. Fortunately, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both configurations, and it can even fold with two of the adapters at the same time.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and can carry twins in infant carriers side by side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design cuts down the overall length to fit better in some compact trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to various positions with the push of the button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for a child of at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings with similar ages. However, it's a great option for families who wish to jog and its robust structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually come with more shocks than those that do not. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother it will travel.

A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It can help it last longer, which is ideal when you intend to use it for multiple children or for a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an old model. It comes with many features parents love, like two cup holders, a parent console that has a cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle, which can be helpful for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It has a ton of storage space and is compact twin stroller when folded. It also has some pleasant features we like for example, magnetic crotch straps that can be opened and closed by using just one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. It's not often found on strollers, but it should be mandatory for any family with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we love, including recline with one hand and reversible seating, padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also comes with adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats while on the move.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children shielded from the rain or sun and some models have extra features like the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks that we recommend, the BravoFor2 is equipped with a front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single person to take both children out. Its bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2, so it is not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. The stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help you transport it to your car.

Some parents prefer a double seat stroller stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These strollers allow you to view both children at once, making it easy for parents 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 lightweight option, our budget pick Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated option. It can accommodate two infant car seats. The latest version of the product can be set up in any direction. We found the latest model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to run, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It also works with 23 different car seat brands using a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller that can handle heavy loads with ease and without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may want to choose a stroller that lets you sit and stand with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a 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 business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twin infants, then a stroller which can take them is necessary. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Stokke Double Stroller stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat, as well as an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be tied into one brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may feel unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights may result in an argument between siblings.

We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options that can be used by families with infant twins or children who are the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for instance, is a highly rated option and compatible with car seats. This allows parents to transport their babies in comfort from the vehicle to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are perfect to store all of your gear including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage has a compartment for your keys and phone. The baskets have mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, meaning you won't have to keep rummaging for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar range of features as some of our top award winners. Its seats can be transformed into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it a good choice for twins from birth to early childhood.
