Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby, you might choose to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing either in the opposite direction or the same way and also has a huge storage bin that is accessible without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doors.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out and padded five-point security harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. It comes with a toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for small children and infants. The large storage basket has plenty of room for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, a space to store your phone or purse.

It isn't easy to fold, especially when you're holding the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the second. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the updated ones. It can even fold with two adapters attached simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and twins can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its clever design shortens the overall length to fit better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to a variety of positions at the press of one button. The buckles are among the simplest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for a child that is at least 2 1/2 years old. It's not suited for twins or siblings of similar age. It's still a great option for families who wish to jog and its sturdy construction means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin umbrella stroller stroller with car seats is a crucial feature since it can make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially important if you're going over bumps or rough terrain on your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually come with larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will travel.

In addition to being simple to steer, good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will last longer and is ideal if you are planning to use it for multiple children or for a long time.

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with excellent suspension for the wheels and is an old model that's been around for since a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It is packed with features that parents will love, including two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder and a large storage bin. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins with infant car seats. This is a sit and stand stroller that can either be used as a twin stroller, or with one infant seat in front. It is packed with storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

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

Another top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the great features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand reclining, compression padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopies and extra-large storage. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models have additional features, like an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our most popular choices that we recommend, the BravoFor2, has an adjustable front seat that buckles at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single parent to take the kids both out. The bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact 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 result in sibling fights. These strollers allow you to see both children at the same time and make it easier for a parent to supervise and talk with them. On the other hand, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget pick, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is an affordable and highly rated choice. It accepts two car seats for infants, and the more recent version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. The latest version is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents like to jog. This stroller can hold one car seat at a time, and even though it doesn't come with an integrated infant carrier it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats using the click-in adapter. It's a sturdy and well-built stroller, that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles can be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids with similar age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with an elevated platform for older children 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 in the infant stage A stroller that can accept these will be crucial. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most popular car seat brands. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats because you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be tied into one brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is easier to maneuver -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. In addition, the different heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest you use a tandem stroller only when your kids are close in age.

We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options that can be used by families with twins in the infant stage or children of similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for example is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to transfer their babies from the vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are large as well. These baskets are great to store all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes Pushchairs And Prams backpacks. The front storage also comes with a place to store your phone and keys. The baskets have mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, meaning you won't have to search for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same flexibility to our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can also be used with two infant car seats. This makes it an ideal option for twins starting from birth until early childhood.
