Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You might opt for an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two car seats for infants during the first few months of life. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows car seat carriers to face either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carrier. It is also able to fit through most doorways.
Easy folding
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two car seats for infants when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides and pushes easily with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The large storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and comes with a convenient place to stash your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.
However, it can be difficult to fold, particularly when you have one hand on the handlebar and another on the child's car seat. It is also necessary to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than the other double strollers that we tested. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters as well as the latest ones. It can even fold with two adapters connected simultaneously.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred twin stroller for infants. frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats and twins can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It is a popular choice among parents who have small vehicles. The clever design reduces the overall length so that it can fit better into some trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to a variety of positions at the push of the button. The buckles are among the simplest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's still a great option for families that want to run and the durable structure means it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you're crossing bumps or rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than strollers without. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with, the smoother it will ride.
In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will help it to last longer, which is ideal if you plan on using it for multiple children or a long period of time.
The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension and it's an older model. It has many features that parents love, like two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a large storage bin. It has a height adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.
Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. This is a sit and stand stroller that can be used as a twin stroller, or with a single infant seat in front. It has a ton of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It comes with some nice features like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.
double pushchairs comes with a 5-point harness, which is important as it will keep your kids secure in case of an accident. This feature is not always included on strollers, but it is a must for families with toddlers or infants.
The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we love, including reversible seating and one-hand recline, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopy, and a large storage. It also has height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it easier to reverse the seats when you're on the go.
Canopy
A well-designed canopy keeps your children shielded from the sun or rain, and a few models come with extra features such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 features the front seat that buckles at the shoulder and waist--making it simple for a single person to take both children out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old so it is not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. This stroller is compact and has handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.
Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side because it is less likely to create sibling conflicts. These strollers let you see both children at the same time which makes it easier for parents to supervise and talk with them. On the downside, side-by-side models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is an affordable and highly rated choice. It can accommodate two car seats for infants and the more recent version lets the seats face either way. We found the most recent model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is a little 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 accommodate one car seat at any 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 solid, well-made stroller that can handle large loads without straining. And we liked the way that the handles adjust to fit your height.
If you have two children of the same age, you might prefer a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also has an elevated platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit 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're planning on using car seats for twins who are infants A stroller that can accept these will be crucial. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with the 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 prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seat brands because it lets you shop a wider range of prices without being locked into a specific brand.
You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or a side-by-side stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides a more traditional seating configuration, and it's more maneuverable -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller can feel unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only when your children are nearing age.
There are many stroller options for families with twins or children who are the same age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly rated option that works with car seats. This allows parents to transport their babies in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.
double buggy for twins and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. These baskets are ideal to store all of your diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. The front storage area also has a compartment for keys and phones. The baskets are mesh-sided to stop items from falling over, so you don't have to search to find them.
Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same flexibility to 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 a good option for twins from birth until early childhood.
