Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may decide to use 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 you to turn the car seat carriers in either the same or opposite direction. It also comes with a large storage bin, which can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It also fits through most doors.

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge gorgeous twin stroller. It can hold two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glids, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It has 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 you can add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet-like chair for infants and small children. The large storage basket is big enough for all your stuff and includes a handy place to keep your purse or phone, and four cup holders.

But it's also awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. It is also necessary remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double strollers we've test. Fortunately, the company changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both configurations, and will fold with two of the adapters attached at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred twin stroller for infants. frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side by side. 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 comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only downside 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 close in age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to jog, and its tough frame construction means that it will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and usually come with more shocks than those that do not. The more comfortable a stroller rides, the more shocks it comes with.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or for a long amount of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the best twin strollers designed for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension, and it's an old model. It has a lot of features that many parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and the storage basket, which can hold many items. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another option that is popular for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with a single infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It is a very spacious stroller that folds down to a small size. It comes with some nice features, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is important because it keeps your kids secure in case of an accident. This feature isn't always found on strollers, but is mandatory for families with infants or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we love such as reversible seats, one-hand reclining, compressing padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it easier to flip the seats around when you're on the move.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain, and a few models include extra features, such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 is equipped with a front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single parent to take the kids both out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore, it's not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we liked that this stroller folds into a compact unit and comes with a handle on both sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to see and converse with both children at the same time. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is a low-cost and highly rated choice. It is compatible with two car seats for infants and the latest version lets the seats face either way. The most recent model is more compact than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider 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 also works with 23 different brands of car seats via a click-in-adapter, even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can hold large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two kids with the same age, you might want to consider a model that allows you to sit and stand with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget stroller however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned business with a great customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twin infants, then a stroller which will accept them is crucial. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, making them compatible with all the top 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 bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be shackled to one brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights may cause an argument between siblings.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children who are the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 Cosatto Woosh Double Stroller for Twins - Lightweight stroller is highly rated that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents move their children from the vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The rear and front baskets of the stroller are also spacious. They're ideal for storing everything you need including diaper bags, backpacks and other clothes. Plus, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for phones and keys. The baskets come with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, meaning you don't have to keep rummaging for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Cosatto Woosh Double Stroller for Twins - Lightweight is another budget-friendly option. It has the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted to two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be used in either direction. This makes it a great choice for twins from birth until early childhood.
