Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may decide to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you turn the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or the same. It also has an ample storage bin which can be opened without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits easily through the majority of doors.

Ease of folding

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It easily glides and pushes with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable leg and footrests and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants as well as young children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to hold all your belongings and comes with a convenient place to keep your phone or purse and four cup holders.

But it's also difficult to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. You'll also need to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with the new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two of the adapters connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our favorite infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and twins can be carried in their infant carriers simultaneously. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design shortens the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined to various positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the easiest to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a large child who is at minimum 2 1/2 years old. So it's not ideal for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great option for families that want to run, and its tough frame construction means that it will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true when you're navigating bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and usually have more shocks than those with no suspension. The more comfortable a stroller rides, the more shocks it has.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension makes a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will help it to last longer, which is great if you plan on using it for multiple children or a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go double buggy travel system is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It's loaded with features that many parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and a storage basket that can hold lots of items. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins with 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 a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller that folds down to a small size. It also comes with a few nice touches that we like, including magnetic straps for crotch that can be closed and opened with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is crucial because it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers but should be mandatory for families with toddlers or infants.

The second top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all the features we love, including recline with one hand and reversible seating with a padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain, and a few models come with extra features such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features the front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single person to take both children out. Its bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, so it's not the best twin stroller (site) choice for twins or younger siblings. However, we loved the fact that it folds down into a compact package and has handles on the sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These types of strollers also allow you to see both children at once which makes it easier for parents to supervise and talk with them. The downside is that side-byside strollers tend to be heavier and longer than single models.

If you are looking for a lightweight and affordable alternative the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a highly-rated and budget-friendly option. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version of the product can be set up in either direction. We found the new model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that prefer to run. 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 doesn't have an infant carrier integrated. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining. And we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children of 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 accommodate a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller, but it's made by a small family-owned business with a great customer service.

Seating

If you plan to use car seats for twins and a stroller that can take them is necessary. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most popular 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 bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seat brands since it allows you to shop for a wide range of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options for families with twins who are infants or children who are the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transfer their babies from the vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also spacious. They're perfect for storing all your belongings including diaper bags, backpacks and even extra clothes. The front storage area also has a compartment for your phone and keys. The baskets are sided with mesh to prevent items from falling over, so you don't have to search for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar flexibility to our more expensive 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 an ideal option for twins starting from birth through early childhood.
