Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby, you might choose to go with a lightweight frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double travel buggy or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to be facing either in the opposite direction or the same way and has a huge storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stunning, huge twin stroller that carries two infant car seats with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glids, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It features adjustable leg and footrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The included toddler seat can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket offers plenty of room for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, a space to store your phone or purse.

But it can also be awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. It's also necessary 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 test. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the new ones. It can also fold with two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It works with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by-side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design shortens the overall length to fit better in trunks that are compact. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to multiple positions with the push of a button. The buckles were among the easiest to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child of at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. But it's still an excellent option for families that want to run and its sturdy structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tested.

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 kids. This is particularly true when you're crossing bumps or taking rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and they typically come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller comes with, the smoother it will ride.

In addition to being easy to steer, good wheel suspension makes a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will last longer and is a great option if you intend to use it for a number of children or for a long period.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension and it's an old model. It has many features that parents will love, including two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful 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 either be used as a twin stroller or with an infant seat that is placed in the front. It has a ton of storage space and is compact when folded. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that keeps your children secure in the case of an accident. That's something that's not always present on strollers but it's an essential feature for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that can accommodate car seats. It has 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 leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also comes with height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it simpler to turn the seats back while on the move.

Canopy

A quality canopy will keep your children safe from rain or sun and some models have extra features like an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 has the front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it possible for a single parent to take two kids out. Its bench seat is made to fit a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the ideal choice for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help transport it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double buggy with car seat stroller because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents see and converse with both children at the same time. On the other hand, side-by-side models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable option, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and affordable choice. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the latest version allows the seats to face either way. We found the new version to be less bulky than the previous model, however it weighs a bit more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a single time. And even though it does not have an integrated infant carrier It can be used with 23 different car seats via a click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can carry big loads without straining. Also, we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids with the same age, you may prefer an option that allows you to sit and stand, such as the Joovy twin pushchair from birth Roo+. This stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat, and has a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, however the company that makes it is a small family company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twin infants, then a stroller which will accept them is crucial. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat and a bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands, as it lets you shop at a greater variety of prices without being tied to the same brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. In addition, the differing seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

Fortunately, we've found that there are plenty of stroller options that can be used by families with twins in the infant stage or children of similar in age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 Double Stroller With Bassinet (Google.Co.Ls) stroller is highly rated that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to transport their babies in comfort from their car to the stroller.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are large and spacious, too. These baskets are perfect for storing all your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage comes with a place to store keys and phones. The baskets have mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you don't have to keep rummaging for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand double running stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It provides the same level of versatility as 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 option for twins from birth until early childhood.
