Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You might opt for an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two infant car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows you to turn the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also comes with a large storage bin, that can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits through most doors.
Ease of Folding
The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glides, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet-like chair for babies and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of room for all your belongings and features four cup holders, a space to store your phone or purse.
But it can also be awkward to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we've tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to work with the new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with adapters that were originally used and the new ones. It can also be folded with two adapters that can be 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 seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It is a favorite among parents who drive small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length so that it can fit better into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.
The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for an older child who is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. However, it's a great option for families that want to jog and its robust frame construction means that it will not wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.
double stroller for twins of the wheel of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is an important feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension usually come with larger wheels and shocks. The more comfortable a stroller rides, the more shocks it comes with.
A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will help it to last longer, which is ideal when you intend to use it for multiple kids or for a long amount of time.
One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has great wheel suspension, and it's an old model that's been around for a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It has a lot of features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder, and an storage basket that can hold a lot. It has a height adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.
Another option that is popular for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It offers plenty of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also has some nice features that we love, including magnetic straps for crotch that can be opened and closed with one hand.
It also comes with a five-point harness, which is crucial because it will keep your kids secure in case of an accident. That's something that's not always included on strollers but it's mandatory 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 of the great features we like, including reversible seats and one-hand reclining, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopies and extra-large storage. It also has height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats when you're on the go.
Canopy
A well-designed canopy keeps your children shielded from the sun or rain and some models have extra features like an open window or adjustable handles. One of our most popular choices, the BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it easy for a single caregiver to take the kids both out. The bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, so it's not the ideal choice for twins or children who are younger. This stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help you transport it to your car.
Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These types of strollers also allow you to see both children at the same time and make it easier for parents to supervise and talk with them. On the other hand, side-by-side models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a low-cost and highly rated option. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the latest version allows the seats to face either way. We found the latest model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Parents who want to run in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can hold a single car seat at a single time. And even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats with a click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining. Also, we liked the way that the handles adjust to fit your height.
If you have two kids with the same age, you may prefer an option that lets you sit and stand with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a 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-owned business that provides excellent customer service.
Seating
If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins A stroller that can accept these seats is essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most popular car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat as well as an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with multiple infant car seat brands, as it allows you to shop for a wide range of prices without being tied to a specific brand.
You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers the traditional seating configuration and is also more maneuverable -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights could also lead to fighting between siblings.
There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children of the same age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to move their children from their car to the double stroller in comfort.
The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are big and spacious, too. They're ideal for storage of everything you need, including diaper bags, backpacks and other clothes. The front storage area has a designated compartment for phone and keys. The baskets come with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, so you don't need to look around for them.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another option that is budget-friendly. It provides the same level of versatility as some of our award-winning strollers. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted into two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it an ideal choice for twins from birth through early childhood.
