Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may want to use a light frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to face opposite directions or in the same direction and has a huge storage bin that is accessible without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits through most doors.

Easy folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats that have the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glids, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It comes with footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can also use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket is big enough for all your stuff and includes a handy place to stash your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.

But it can also be difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than the other double strollers that we tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with their new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two adapters connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats and twins can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a popular choice for parents who drive cars with smaller wheels, and its clever design reduces the overall length so that it fits better in some compact trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they recline to various positions with the press of one button. The buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child that is at least 2 1/2. It is not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. It's still a great option for families who wish to jog and its robust construction means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers that have car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for kids. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than strollers with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother its ride.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal for those who plan to use it for multiple children or for a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go double buggy from birth is one of the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an older model. It is packed with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a large storage bin. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another popular choice for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is packed with storage space and is compact when folded. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.

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

The other top pick for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we like, including recline with one hand and reversible seating as well as compression padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also comes with adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it easier to reverse the seats when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2 includes the front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it possible for a single parent to take two children out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old, so it is not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. This stroller is small 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 because it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These types of strollers also let you see both children at the same time, making it easy for a parent to monitor and interact with them. The downside is that side-by-side strollers tend to be heavier and longer than single models.

If you're looking to find a light option, our budget pick, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a reasonable and highly rated selection. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version of the product allows them to be positioned in any direction. We found the new version to be less bulky than the previous model, however it weighs a bit more and is a little longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to run in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands using the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two children who are similar age, you may want a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller 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 little more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company that makes it is a small, family-owned business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twins then a stroller that accepts them is essential. A lot 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, as well as a bassinet. We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be locked into a single brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side design offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement, and it's more maneuverable -- especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights may result in fighting between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found there are plenty of stroller options for families with twins in the infant stage or children who are the same age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly-rated option and compatible with car seats. This lets parents move their children from the vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are big and spacious, too. They're ideal for storing all your gear, including backpacks, diaper bags, and extra clothes. Additionally, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to stop items from falling, so you don't have to rummage to find them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It provides the same level of versatility as 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 a good option for twins from birth until early childhood.
