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 options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with a large storage bin, that can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It also fits through the majority of doors.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats that have the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide, turning and spinning like a single-seat 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 simple to unfasten and fasten. You can use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for small children and infants. The oversized storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and comes with a convenient place to keep your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar in one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. It’s also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it down, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers that we have test. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both configurations, and it will even fold with two adapters attached at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side-by side. It’s a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars, and its clever design shortens the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined to various positions by pressing the button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a big kid who’s at least 2 1/2 years old–so it’s not ideal for twins or siblings close in age. However, it’s a great option for families who wish to jog, and its tough structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as other tandems we’ve tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially true when you’re walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension generally have larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will ride.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will make it last longer and is ideal if are planning to use it with multiple children or for a long time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension, and it’s an old model. It comes with many features parents love, such as two cup holders, an integrated 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.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins with infant car seats. This is a sit and stand stroller that can be used as a twin stroller, or with one infant seat in the front. It offers plenty of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This isn’t always present on strollers but it’s mandatory for any family with newborns or toddlers.

Another top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all of the features we love with reversible seats as well as one-hand recline, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also comes with adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back when you’re on the go.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children shielded from the rain or sun and some models have extra features like the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our most popular choices, the BravoFor2 features the front seat that is adjustable at the waist and shoulder, making it simple for a single caregiver to take both children out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore, it’s not suitable for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact 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 strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable alternative Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a highly-rated and cost-effective option. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version allows them to be placed in any direction. We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, but it still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep’s Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents like to jog. This stroller can hold a single car seat at a single time. And even though it does not have an integrated infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats with an adapter that clicks in. It’s a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. And we liked the way that the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two children of the same age you may want to choose a model that lets you stand and sit like the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also has a platform for older children to stand on. It’s a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, but it’s made by a small family-owned business with great customer service.

Seating

If you’re planning on using car seats for twins who are infants the stroller that supports these will be crucial. 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 as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seat brands because it lets you shop a wider range of prices without being locked into the same brand.

It’s also important to decide whether you’d prefer a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller could feel unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the differing seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

Fortunately, we’ve found there are many strollers for families with twins who are infants or children of similar in age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N’ Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. They’re ideal for storing everything you need including diaper bags, backpacks, and extra clothes. Plus, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for phones and keys. The baskets are sided with mesh to stop objects from falling, meaning you don’t have to rummage around for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand double push chair is another budget-friendly option. It provides the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. 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 excellent option for twins from the time of birth to early childhood.
