Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a frame that is lightweight double buggy and can accommodate two infant car seats in the early days of your baby. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model lets you change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or the same. It also has an ample storage bin which can be opened without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. You can use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat, which is a bassinet-like seat for small children and infants. The large storage basket has plenty of space to store all your belongings and features four cup holders, which is a place to keep your purse or phone.

However, it can be difficult to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and the other on the child's car seat. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it down, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both configurations, and it can even fold with two adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side by side. It is a favorite among parents who have small vehicles. The clever design minimizes the overall length so that it can fit better into some trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to multiple positions with the push of a button. The buckles were among the most simple to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not ideal for twins or siblings that are close in age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to jog, and its tough structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tried.

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 walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The smoother a stroller rides the more shocks it comes with.

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

One of the best twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has great wheel suspension and is an old model that's been around for a while The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It has a lot of features that many parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder, and an storage basket that can hold a lot. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another option for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with a single to double pushchair infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It offers plenty of storage space and is compact when folded. It has some nice touches, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is important because it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This feature is not always on strollers, but is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It has all of the features we love such as reversible seats, one-hand reclining, compressing padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also comes with adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to flip the seats around when you're on the go.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the rain and sun. Some models have extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 has a front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it easy for a single caregiver to take two children out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children of at least 2 1/2, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. We liked that this stroller folds into a compact unit and comes with a handle on each side to help you roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These types of strollers also allow you to view both children at once which makes it easier for parents to monitor and interact with them. On the other hand, side-by-side models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are looking for a lightweight and affordable option, the Baby Trend double buggy with carrycot Snap-N-Go is a highly-rated and cost-effective option. It accepts two infant car seats, and the latest version allows the seats to face either way. The newer version is smaller than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who prefer to run. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a single time. And even though it does not have a built-in infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats using the click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller, that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also liked the way the handles could be adjusted to fit your height.

If you have two kids of similar age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to 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-scale family business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage A stroller that can accept these seats is essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with most popular 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 compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can shop from a variety of prices and not be locked into a single brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.

Fortunately, we've found that there are numerous stroller options that can be used by families with twins who are infants or children who are similar in age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to transport their babies in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are large. They're ideal for storing everything you need including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. The front storage includes a space for your phone and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to prevent items from falling over, so you don't have to rummage to find them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It has the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a good option for twins from birth until early childhood.
