Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a lightweight frame that can accommodate two car seats during the baby days. The best options 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 also has a huge storage bin that is accessible without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also fit through most doors.

Folding is easy

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that carries two infant car seats that have the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glids, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space to store all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, as well as a space to store your phone or purse.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you're holding the handlebar with one hand and the seat for your child in the other. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double buggy converts to single strollers we tried. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the updated ones. It can even be folded using two adapters attached simultaneously.

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

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child that is at least 2 1/2. It's not suitable for twins or siblings with similar ages. However, it's a great option for families that want to jog and its sturdy structure means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and typically come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with, the smoother it will ride.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal if you plan on using 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 features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It has many features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a large storage bin. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height, which can be helpful 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 a single infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It has a ton of storage space and is compact when folded. It also comes with a few pleasant features we like for example, magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This feature is not always on strollers, but is an essential feature for families with toddlers or infants.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It has all the features we like, including the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand as well as padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to allow for easier reversing of seats when you move.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the sun and rain. Some models come with extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices that we recommend, the BravoFor2 is equipped with a front seat that is adjustable at the shoulder and waist--making it simple for a single caregiver to take both kids out. Its bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. We liked the fact that it folds down into a compact unit and comes with a handle on both sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These strollers let parents communicate and interact with both children at the same time. The downside is that side-byside strollers tend to be heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a light option, our budget pick Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is an affordable and highly rated selection. It is compatible with two car seats for infants, and the latest version allows the seats to be positioned in any direction. The newer version is smaller than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Parents who want to jog the twin jogger that we recommend as our top pick is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at any given time. It is also compatible with 23 different brands of car seats via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it does not have an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. Also, we loved how the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may want to choose a model that lets you sit and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit two infant car seats or a single 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 company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins and a stroller that accepts them is essential. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double infant strollers stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat and an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with multiple infant car seat brands since it lets you shop a wider range of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration, and it's easier to maneuver -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of the seats can cause sibling squabbles, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

There are many stroller options for families with twins or children with similar age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 cheap double pushchair stroller is highly rated that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transport their babies in comfort 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 diaper bags, backpacks and other clothes. The front storage compartment has a separate compartment for keys and phone. The baskets are sided with mesh to stop objects from falling, meaning you don't have to search around for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller It offers a similar versatility to some of our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers, and they can convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a good option for twins from the time of birth to early childhood.
