Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may decide to use a light frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to turn the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also comes with an ample storage bin that can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to fasten and unfasten. You can also use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children.

It isn't easy to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar with one hand Twin stroller with car seats while holding the seat for your child in the other. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up--a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we have tried. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the new ones. It can also be folded with two adapters attached simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame.

It's a popular choice for parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its clever design shortens the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the touch of one button. The buckles were among the easiest to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a large child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not suitable for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great choice for families who want to exercise and the robust construction means that it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true if you're going over bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and typically come with more shocks than those without. The more shocks a stroller has, the smoother it will travel.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These kinds of strollers allow you to view both children at once and make it easier for parents to supervise and talk with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with the most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats.

A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs.
