Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may decide to use a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows you to rotate the car seat in either the same or opposite direction. It also comes with an enormous storage bin which can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It also fits through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a massive, stunning twin stroller that holds two infant car seats fitted with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a spacious UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. The toddler seat included can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket offers plenty of space for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, a place to store your purse or phone.

It isn't easy to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the second. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it down, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we've tested. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the updated ones. It can even be folded using two adapters that can be connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats and both babies can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive smaller cars, and its clever design cuts down the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the push of the button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only issue with 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 a good choice for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great option for families who wish to go jogging and the durable structure means it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature since it can make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension generally have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother it will ride.

A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will last longer and is ideal if you are planning to use it for a number of children or for a prolonged time.

One of the top twin strollers that come 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 car seat stroller. It's loaded with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as an storage basket that can accommodate a lot. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height 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 stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It offers plenty of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice touches like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness that keeps your children secure in the event of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers, but is mandatory for families with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top choice for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It has all of the features we love, including reversible seats and one-hand reclining, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also has adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to flip the seats around when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the sun and rain. Some models come with additional features, like an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top picks that we recommend, the BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single caregiver to take the kids both out. The bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old therefore, it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design due to its less proneness to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents be able to talk and observe both children at the same time. On the other hand, side-by-side models are often heavier and longer than single to double buggy strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight alternative, our budget-friendly pick Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a reasonable and highly rated selection. It can be used to accommodate two infant car seats. The newer version can be set up in either direction. We found the most recent model to be more compact than its predecessor, however it still weighs a little more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can hold one car seat at a time--and even though it does not have an integrated infant carrier, it works with 23 different brands of car seats via an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. And we liked the way that the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids of the same age you might want to consider a model that lets you stand and sit like the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats, or one toddler seat. It also has a platform for older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, however the company that makes it is a small, family-owned business that provides excellent customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins then a stroller that will accept them is crucial. Our top-rated 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 one car seat and an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands, as it allows you to shop at a greater variety of prices without being locked into a specific brand.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more space between the seats. Additionally, the various seat heights can lead to sibling squabbles, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

There are numerous stroller options for families with twins or children of similar age. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand cheap double buggy stroller, for example is a highly rated option and compatible with car seats. This allows parents to transfer their babies from their car to the double stroller in comfort.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also spacious. They're ideal for storage of all your belongings including backpacks, diapers and other clothes. The front storage area has a designated compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you won't have to look around for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It provides the same degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can face either direction. This makes it an ideal choice for twins from birth through early childhood.
