Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days, you might choose to go with a lightweight frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model lets you rotate the car seat in the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with a large storage bin, that can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits easily through the majority of doors.

Easy folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats if fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for small children and infants. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough for all your stuff and has a convenient spot to keep your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

It isn't easy to fold, especially if you are holding the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the second. It is also necessary remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which can take longer than the other double strollers that we tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to be compatible with their new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two of the adapters attached 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 allows you to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by-side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design shortens the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the simplest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a large child who is at minimum 2 1/2 years old. So it's not suitable for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great option for families who wish to jog, and its tough structure means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for kids. This is especially important when you're crossing bumps or taking rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and usually come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother its ride.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will last longer and is a great option if you intend to use it for multiple children or for a prolonged period.

One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with great wheel suspension and is one that's been around for a while the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It is packed with features that parents will love, including two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder and a large storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another option for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with one infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a small size. It also has some nice features that we love such as magnetic straps for the crotch that can be opened and closed with just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is important as it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This isn't always included on strollers, but it should be mandatory for any family with newborns or toddlers.

Another top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the great features we like with reversible seats as well as one-hand reclining, compression padding in both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to allow for easier reversing of seats when you move.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children shielded from the sun or rain, and a few models come with extra features such as the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 has a front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and shoulder. This makes it simple for a single caregiver to take two kids out. The bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years older, which means it's not the best option for twins or younger siblings. The stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These types of strollers also let you see both children at once, making it easy for parents to monitor and interact with them. The downside is that side-byside strollers are generally heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a lightweight alternative, our budget-friendly pick Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated option. It accepts two infant car seats, and the newer version lets the seats face either direction. The latest version is smaller than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to run, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. It can accommodate one car seat at a time--and even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in, it works with 23 different car seats with a click-in adapter. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can carry big loads without straining, and we loved how the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two children with the same age, you may want a model that sits and stands, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat, and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller but it's made by a small family-owned business with a great customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins and a stroller that accepts them is essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with most popular 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 work with multiple infant car seats since you can shop from a variety of prices and not be locked into one brand.

You'll also want to consider whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side design offers an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is also easier to maneuver -- particularly in tight spaces or over curbs. double pushchair on the other hand is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights could cause a fight between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found there are many strollers to suit families with infant twins or children of similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for instance is a highly rated option that is compatible with car seats. Parents can transfer their children from their car to the double stroller with ease.





The rear and front baskets of the stroller are spacious. They're perfect for storing all your gear, including diaper bags, backpacks and other clothes. The front storage area has a designated compartment for phone and keys. The baskets have mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you won't have to search for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It has the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. 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 from birth through early childhood.
