Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may decide to go with a lightweight frame stroller that is compatible with 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 be facing either same or opposite directions and comes with a large storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carriers. It also fits through the majority of doors.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a stunning, huge 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 with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It features adjustable footrests and legrests and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to hold all your belongings and comes with a convenient place to stash your phone or purse, and four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar with one hand while holding the child's seat in the other. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up--a process that takes longer than other double strollers we test. Thankfully, the company has 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 configurations, and it can even fold with two of the adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by-side. It is a popular choice among parents who have small vehicles. The clever design reduces the overall length so that it is able to fit into certain trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to a variety of positions at the touch of a button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a large child who is 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 go jogging, and the sturdy design means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is an important feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially important when you're crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother it will travel.

A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will last longer and is ideal if intend to use it for a number of children or over a long time.

One of the best twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels and is an old model that's been around for since a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It has a lot of features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder as well as the storage basket, which can accommodate lots of items. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

Another option 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 a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a small size. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened and closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children safe in the case of an accident. This feature isn't always found on strollers, but it is mandatory for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that can accommodate car seats. It has all the features we love, such as recline with one hand and reversible seating, padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopy and extra-large storage. It also has height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the elements of rain and sun. Certain models include additional features, like an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our most popular choices, the BravoFor2 is equipped with an adjustable front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single parent to take the kids both 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 children with younger siblings. This stroller is compact and comes with handles on both sides to help transport it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These kinds of strollers allow you to see both children at once which makes it easier for a parent to monitor and interact with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable alternative Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and affordable choice. It can accommodate two infant car seats. The latest version of the product allows them to be placed in any direction. We found the new model to be more compact than its predecessor, however it still weighs more and is a bit larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents enjoy jogging. It can accommodate one car seat at a single time. And even though it doesn't have an integrated infant carrier it can be used with 23 different car seats using an adapter that clicks in. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also liked how the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two children with the same age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older children 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 with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you're planning on using car seats for twins in the infant stage the stroller that supports these will be crucial. 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 as well as bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers double that work with multiple infant car seats because you can choose from a wide range of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights could cause a fight between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found that there are many strollers for families with twins in the infant stage or children who are similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly-rated option that works with car seats. Parents can transfer their children from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are big, too. These baskets are great for storing all of your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage area also comes with a place to store your phone and keys. The baskets come with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, meaning you don't need to keep rummaging for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It offers a similar degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and can convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a great option for twins from birth to early childhood.
