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 accepts two infant car seats. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to face either in the opposite direction or the same way and also has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carriers. It also fits through most doors.

Easy folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It has adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket offers plenty of space to store all your belongings and features four cup holders, a space to store your phone or purse.

It can be a challenge to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar in one hand and the seat for your child in the other. You'll also have remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than the other double strollers that we tested. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and will fold with two of the adapters at the same time.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred twin stroller for infants. frame. It is compatible 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 cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined to various positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It is not suited for twins or siblings of similar age. It's still a great choice for families who wish to go jogging and the durable construction means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers that have car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true if you're going over bumps or taking rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension typically come with larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will ride.

A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or for a long period of time.

It offers plenty of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also has a few nice features that we love, including magnetic straps for crotch that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children secure in the case of an accident. That's something that's not always found on strollers but it's an essential feature for any family with infants or toddlers.

It also has height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the sun and rain. Certain models include additional features, like a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 has the front seat with an adjustable buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it easy for one caregiver to take two kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact and has handles on both sides to help take it to the car.

Some parents may prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These kinds of strollers allow you to view both children at the same time which makes it easier for a parent to supervise and converse with them. On the flip side, side-byside strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget pick is the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated selection. It can be used to accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version can be set up in either direction. We found the new version to be less bulky than its predecessor, however it still weighs more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to jog in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller accommodates a single car seat at a single time. And even though it doesn't come with a built-in infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats using an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can carry big loads without straining. Also, we liked the way that the handles adjust to fit your height.

It also comes with a platform for older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company behind it is a small-scale family business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for twins who are infants, a stroller that accepts these seats is essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can choose from a wide range of prices and not be shackled into one brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights may result in fighting between siblings.

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

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are spacious, too. They're ideal for storing all your gear including backpacks, diapers and even extra clothes. The front storage also includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets come with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, meaning you won't have to search for them.
