Buying a
Twin Stroller With Car SeatsYou could choose an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two car seats for infants in the early days of your baby. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2
double buggy with car seat and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carriers. It also fits easily through most doorways.
Folding is easy
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. The toddler seat included can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket has plenty of room for everything you need and comes with four cup holders, as well as a place to keep your phone or purse.
It can be a challenge to fold, particularly when you're holding the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the second. You'll also have to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than the other double strollers we test. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with their new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions and it will even fold with two adapters connected at once.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It is a popular choice among parents who drive small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it fits better in certain trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they can recline to various positions with the touch of the button. The buckles were among the easiest to tighten and unwind in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for a child of at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins or siblings of similar ages. It's still a great choice for families who wish to exercise and the robust design means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother it will travel.
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 when you intend to use it for multiple children or for a long amount of time.
One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with excellent suspension for the wheels and is one that's been around for since a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go
double stroller with bassinet. It is packed with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console that has a cup holder, and a large storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle which is useful for taller parents.
Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. It is a stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It's a spacious stroller that folds down to a small size. It has some nice extras, such as magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.
It also has a 5-point harness, which is vital because it keeps your kids secure in case of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but is 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 seating and one-hand recline as well as compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopy, and a large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats when you move.
Canopy
A canopy will protect your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models come with additional features, like an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2 has the front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it possible for a single parent to take two children out. Its bench seat is made to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old, so it's not the ideal choice for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact and has handles on both sides to help carry it to your car.
Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children at the same time. On the downside, 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 Snap-N'-Go is a highly-rated and affordable choice. It can accommodate two car seats for infants. The latest version allows them to be positioned in either direction. We found the new model to be smaller than the previous model, however it weighs a bit more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. This stroller can hold a single car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't have an infant carrier built-in it can be used with 23 different car seats using a click-in adapter. This is a sturdy, well-made stroller, which can handle large loads without strain. We also liked how the handles can be adjusted to your height.
If you have two children who are similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older children to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small, family-owned business with excellent customer service.
Seating
If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports them will be essential. Our top-rated strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat 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 that can work with a variety of infant car seats brands since it allows you to shop a wider range of prices without being locked into a specific brand.
You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side
twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration, and it's more maneuverable -- particularly in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller may 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 you use a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.
Fortunately, we've found that there are plenty of stroller options to suit families with twins in the infant stage or children who are the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transport their babies in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.
The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are spacious and spacious, too. These baskets are ideal for storing all of your diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage area has a designated compartment for phone and keys. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, so you don't need to search for them.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand
smallest double buggy is another option that is budget-friendly. It provides the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. 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 a great choice for twins, from birth until early childhood.
