Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You could choose an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two infant car seats during the baby days. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model lets you turn the car seat carriers in the opposite direction or in the same. It also comes with an ample storage bin which can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through most doorways.
Folding Ease
The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a stunning, huge twin stroller that carries two infant car seats with the proper adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out and padded five-point security harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. You can use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket offers plenty of space to store everything you need and comes with four cup holders, which is a place to keep your purse or phone.
However, it can be awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and another on the car seat of your child. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers that we've tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to be compatible with their new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the latest ones. It can be folded using two adapters that can be connected at once.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and both babies can be sat in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design cuts down the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined to various positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the simplest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.
The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not a good choice for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great option for families that want to run and its sturdy structure means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tested.
Wheel Suspension
The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is an important feature since it can make it more comfortable for your kids. This is particularly true if you're going over bumps or taking rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than strollers that do not. The smoother a stroller rides the more shocks it comes with.
A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will help it to last longer, which is a plus if you plan on using it for multiple children or for a long amount of time.
One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels, and it's a model that's been around long enough the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It's loaded with features that many parents love, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and an storage basket that can accommodate a lot. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height, which can be helpful for taller parents.
Another popular choice for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a sit-and- stand stroller that can be used as a twin stroller or with one infant seat in front. 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 and closed with one hand.
It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your children secure in the event of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers but should be an essential feature for families with toddlers or infants.
The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we love, including reversible seats and one-hand recline, compression padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to make it easier to reverse seats while moving.
Canopy
A well-designed canopy keeps your children safe from rain or sun, and a few models have extra features like a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 has an front seat with a buckle that is adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it simple for a single parent to take two kids out. Its bench seat is designed to fit a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old. older, so it's not the ideal choice for twins or children who are younger. The stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help take it to the car.
Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side because it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These types of strollers also allow you to see both children at once which makes it easier for parents to supervise and converse with them. On the downside, side-by-side models tend to be 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 a reasonable and highly rated option. It can fit two infant car seats. The latest version of the product can be set up in any direction. We found the most recent model to be smaller than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a time--and even though it does not have an integrated infant carrier It can be used with 23 different brands of car seats with an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy, well-built stroller, that can handle large loads without stress. We also liked how the handles can be adjusted to fit your height.
If you have two kids with similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with a pair of infant car seats or one toddler seat, and offers a standing platform that allows older children to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned company with excellent customer service.
Seating
If you're thinking of using car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports these seats is essential. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat and an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands because it allows you to shop at a greater variety of prices without being tied to a specific brand.
You'll also want to consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is more maneuverable -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different heights of the seats could result in an argument between siblings.
Fortunately, we've found there are plenty of stroller options to suit families with infant twins or children who are similar in age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can take their children in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.
