Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You might opt for a lightweight frame that can accommodate two infant car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the Best twin stroller options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you rotate the car seat in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also has a large storage bin, that can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It can also fit through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats that have the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. The toddler seat included can be used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and young children. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough to hold all your belongings and has a convenient spot to store your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

However, it can be difficult to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up--a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two of the adapters at the same time.

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 both babies can be sat in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design reduces the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to various positions with the press of one button. The buckles were among the most simple to tighten and unwind in our tests.

The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child who is at least 2 1/2 years old. It's not suitable for twins or siblings of similar ages. It's still a great choice for families who wish to go jogging and the durable structure means it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you're navigating bumps or taking rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it will have.

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

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go cheap double buggy is one of the best double stroller twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an old model. It has a lot of features that many parents love, including two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder, and a storage basket that can hold a lot. It also has a height-adjustable handle that is ideal for taller parents.

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

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is vital as it will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers, but is an essential feature for families with infants or toddlers.

The second top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all the features we love, including the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the sun and rain. Certain models include additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2, features a front seat with a buckle that is adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it easy for a single parent to take two kids out. Its bench seat is made to fit a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the best choice for twins or children who are younger. However, we loved the fact that it folds down into a compact unit and has handles on the sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These types of strollers also allow you to view both children at the same time and make it easier for a parent to supervise and talk with them. On the downside, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking to find a light option, our budget choice, the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a reasonable and highly rated option. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and the newer version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. The newer version is smaller than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that enjoy jogging. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It also works with 23 different brands of car seats via an adapter that clicks in, even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy, well-made stroller, which can handle heavy loads with ease and without stress. We also liked the way the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids with the same age, you may want to choose a model that lets you sit and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also comes with an elevated platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company that makes it is a small family business that provides excellent customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twin infants, then a stroller which accepts them is essential. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, making them compatible with all the top brands. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double tandem pushchair works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can shop from a wide range of prices and not be tied into one brand.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side 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 could be unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the differing seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only when your children are close to age.

Fortunately, we've found there are many strollers for families with twins who are infants or children who are similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller, for example, is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. They're ideal for storage of all your belongings including backpacks, diaper bags and even extra clothes. The front storage area also includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets are mesh-sided to keep objects from falling, meaning you don't have to rummage to find them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar range of features as some of our more expensive award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers, and they can be converted to two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a good option for twins starting from birth to early childhood.
