Buying a twin stroller with car seats (
content)
During the baby days you may want to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2
lightweight double buggy and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model lets you change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also comes with an enormous storage bin which can be opened without the need to take off the infant carriers. It can also fit through most doors.
Easy folding
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats if equipped with the appropriate 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 peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. It comes with a toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The oversized storage basket is big enough to accommodate all your items and has a convenient spot to stash your phone or purse and four cup holders.
It isn't easy to fold, especially if you are holding the handlebar in one hand while holding the child's seat in the second. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it up--a procedure that takes longer than other
double infant strollers strollers we test. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions and will fold with two of the adapters 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 sat in infant carriers at the same time. 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 into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to a variety of positions at the press of the button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for an older child who is at least 2 1/2. It's not suited for twins or siblings of similar age. It's still a great choice for families who want to go jogging and the robust design means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheels on a twin stroller that has car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true if you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and typically have more shocks than strollers with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother its ride.
In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will last longer and is ideal if intend to use it for a number of children or for a prolonged period.
One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has excellent suspension for the wheels and is an old model that's been around for since a while: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go
double pushchairs. 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 comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.
Another popular choice for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with a single infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller that folds down to a compact size. It also comes with a few nice features that we love for example, magnetic straps for the crotch that can be closed and opened with one hand.
It also has a 5-point harness, which is vital because it will keep your kids secure in case of an accident. This is something that is not always included on strollers, but is mandatory for families with infants or toddlers.
The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It has all the features we like, including reversible seating and one-hand recline, padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy, and a large storage. It also has a adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it easier to flip the seats around when you're on the move.
Canopy
A canopy will shield your children from the sun and rain. Certain models include extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2, has the front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulder, making it simple for a single person to take both kids out. Its bench seat is made to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the best choice for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is compact and has handles on both sides to help transport it to your car.
Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These strollers let you see both children at the same time which makes it easier for parents to monitor and interact with them. On the other hand, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you're looking for a light option, our budget pick is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is a reasonable and highly rated selection. It can be used to accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version allows them to be placed in any direction. The most recent model is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. It can accommodate one 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 via the click-in adapter. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining. And we were impressed by the way the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.
If you have two kids with similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also has an elevated platform for older children to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, however the company that makes it is a small-scale family business with excellent customer service.
Seating
If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins, a stroller that accepts them will be essential. A lot of our top-scoring
double travel stroller strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat, as well as an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands since it allows you to browse a wider range of prices without being locked into the same brand.
You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side design offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is also easier to maneuver -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights could result in a fight between siblings.
There are many stroller options for families with twins or children with similar age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). Parents can take their children in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.
The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are spacious, too. These baskets are perfect for storing all your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage area also comes with a place to store your keys and phone. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, so you don't need to look around for them.
Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller It offers a similar range of features as some of our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it an ideal option for twins starting from birth to early childhood.
