Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may want to go with a lightweight frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

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

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two infant car seats when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows and padded five-point security harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. It comes with a toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket offers plenty of space to store all your belongings and features four cup holders, which is a place 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 car seat of your child. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it down, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we've tested. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the new ones. It can even fold with two adapters connected simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular 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 double stroller by side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design shortens the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the easiest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child who is at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. It's still a great option for families who wish to exercise and the durable design means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is a crucial feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you're going over bumps or taking rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and they typically have more shocks than those without. The more shocks a stroller comes with, the smoother it will travel.

In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more durable. It can help it last longer, which is a plus for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or for a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go double to single buggy is one of the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It is packed with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console that has a cup holder, and a large storage basket. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height, which can be helpful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. 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's a spacious stroller that folds down to a compact size. It also has a few nice touches that we like such as magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened with one hand.

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is crucial because it keeps your kids secure in case of an accident. It's not often found on strollers however it's a requirement for any family with newborns or toddlers.

Another top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all of the wonderful features we like such as reversible seats, one-hand recline, compression padding in both seats, adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back when you're on the go.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain and some models come with extra features such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2, features an front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and shoulder. This makes it simple for a single parent to take two 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 younger siblings. We liked that the stroller folds up into a compact package and has a handle on both sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double stroller due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These kinds of strollers allow you to view both children at the same time, making it easy for parents to monitor and interact with them. The downside is that side-by-side 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 be used to accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version can be set up in any direction. We found the new model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents like to jog. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different brands of car seats via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining, and we liked the way that the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two children of the same age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with two infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with 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-owned business that provides outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you plan to use car seats for twins then a stroller that can take them is necessary. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double tandem pushchair stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat, as well as an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be shackled into a single brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration, and it's more maneuverable -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights could cause fighting between siblings.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children who are similar age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double buggy for twins stroller, for instance is a highly-rated option that works with car seats. This allows parents to carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are spacious and spacious, too. These baskets are great to store all of your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. Plus, the front storage area has a designated compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are sided with mesh to stop items from falling over, so you don't need to search around for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It provides the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and be converted to two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can face either direction. This makes it an excellent option for twins from the time of birth to early childhood.
