Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

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

This model lets you turn the car seat carriers in either the same or opposite direction. It also comes with a large storage bin, that can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. You can also use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket is spacious enough to accommodate all terrain double buggy your items and comes with a convenient place to stash your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.

But it's also difficult to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it down, a process that takes longer than other double strollers that we have tested. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to work with 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 will fold with two adapters at the same time.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. 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 popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars, and its clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a 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 suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's still a great choice for families who want to exercise, and the sturdy design means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is a crucial feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and they typically have more shocks than strollers without. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother its travel.

In addition to being easy to steer, good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more durable. It will help it to last longer, which is great when you intend to use it for multiple kids or for a long amount of time.

One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants has excellent suspension for the wheels, and it's an old model that's been around for long enough the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It comes with a variety of features that parents love, including two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as the storage basket, which can hold lots of items. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins with 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 twin strollers. It's a large stroller that folds down to a compact size. It also has a few nice touches that we like, including magnetic straps for the crotch that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the case of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers but should be an essential feature for families with infants or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all of the features we love, including reversible seats and one-hand recline, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to allow for easier reversing of seats on the move.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain and some models have extra features like the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2, has an adjustable front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single parent to take both kids out. Its bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. However, we liked that this stroller folds into a compact size and has a handle on each side to help you move it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These types of strollers also allow you to see both children at the same time, making it easy for a parent to supervise and converse with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable option Baby Trend double buggy side by side Snap N-Go is a highly rated and affordable choice. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and the more recent version lets the seats face either direction. We found the new model to be smaller than the previous model, however it still weighs a little more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents prefer to run. It can accommodate one car seat at a single to double stroller time. And even though it doesn't come with a built-in infant carrier it can be used with 23 different car seats with the click-in adapter. It's a sturdy and well-built stroller, that can handle large loads without stress. We also liked how the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with a standing 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 a great customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage, a stroller that accepts these seats is essential. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can shop from a variety of prices and not be locked to one brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers the traditional seating configuration and is also more maneuverable -- particularly in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your kids are close in age.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children of the same age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for example is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. Parents can transport their babies in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also spacious. These baskets are perfect to store all of your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage compartment has a separate compartment for keys and phone. The baskets are sided with mesh to keep items from falling over, so you don't need to search around to find them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It provides the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted into two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a good option for twins starting from birth through early childhood.
