Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
When you are a baby you may want to go with a lightweight frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows you to rotate the car seat in either the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with a large storage bin, which can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.
Easy folding
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats when equipped with 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 features footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable, a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The included toddler seat can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of room for everything you need and comes with four cup holders, as well as a space to store your phone or purse.
It can be difficult to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the other. It is also necessary remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than the other double strollers we tested. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both configurations, and will fold with two adapters at the same time.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It's a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to various positions with the push of one 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 a child that is at least 2 1/2 years old. It's not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. It's still a great choice for families who want to jog and its robust construction means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tested.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers that have car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially important when you're crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than those with no suspension. The more smooth a stroller's ride and the more shocks it comes with.
A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will be more durable. It will help it to last longer, which is a plus if you plan on using it for multiple children or for a long period of time.
twin buggy of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels and is one that's been around for long enough the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It comes with many features parents love, like two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder, and a huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that is useful for taller parents.
Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It's a spacious stroller that folds to a compact size. It also comes with a few nice features that we love for example, magnetic straps for the crotch that can be opened and closed with one hand.
It also has a 5-point harness, which is vital because it keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but is an essential feature for families with infants or toddlers.
The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that can accommodate carseats. It has all the features we like, including reversible seating and one-hand recline, padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopy, and a large storage. It also comes with adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to reverse the seats while on the move.
Canopy
A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Some models come with additional features, like an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2, has the front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single caregiver to take both kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old therefore, it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we loved that the stroller folds up into a compact size and has a handle on the sides to help carry it to the car.
Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents see and converse with both children simultaneously. The downside is that side-byside strollers are usually heavier and longer than single models.
If you're looking to find a light alternative, our budget-friendly pick, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated selection. It accepts two car seats for infants and the newer version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. We found the most recent model to be more compact than its predecessor, however it still weighs 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. It can hold one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different brands of car seats via a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can carry big loads without straining. Also, we liked the way that the handles adjust to your height.
If you have two children of the same age you might want to consider an option that allows you to stand and sit, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also has a platform for older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned business with great customer service.
Seating
If you're thinking of using car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports these seats is essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers work with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat and an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be locked into a single brand.
You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights may cause an argument between siblings.
We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options that can be used by families with twins who are infants or children of similar in age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents move their children from their car to the double stroller in comfort.
The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are spacious, too. These baskets are perfect for storing all of your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage area also includes a space for your phone and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to keep items from falling over, so you don't need to search around for them.
Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar flexibility to our higher-end award winners. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it an ideal option for twins starting from birth until early childhood.
