Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You might opt for a lightweight frame that can accommodate two car seats for infants during the baby days. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing either same or opposite directions and also has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carrier. It can also fit through the majority of doors.
Folding is easy
The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats that have the proper adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides and pushes easily while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It has adjustable leg and footrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. It comes with a toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space to store all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, as well as a place to store your purse or phone.
It can be difficult to fold, particularly if you are holding the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the other. You'll also have remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than the other double strollers that we've tried. Fortunately, the company has updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions and it can even fold with two of the adapters at the same time.
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 twins in infant carriers side-by-side. It is a popular choice for parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better in some trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined to various positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.
The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a big kid who is at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's still a great option for families that want to run and the durable design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is a crucial feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will travel.
In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will help it to last longer, which is ideal if you plan on using it for multiple children or for a long period of time.
The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is one of the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension, and it's an old model. It comes with many features parents love, like two cup holders, an integrated parent console that has a cup holder, and a large storage bin. It 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 sit-and- stand stroller that can be used as a twin stroller, or with an infant seat that is placed in front. It offers plenty of storage space and is compact when folded. It also has some nice features that we love for example, magnetic straps for crotch that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.
It also comes with a 5-point safety harness that will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. That's something that's not always included on strollers but it's an essential feature for any family with infants or toddlers.
The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we love, including reversible seating and one-hand recline with a compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also features height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to allow for easier reversing of seats on the move.
Canopy
A canopy will protect your children from the elements of rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices, the BravoFor2 has the front seat with a buckle that is adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it possible for one caregiver to take two kids out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. However, we liked that this stroller folds into a compact unit and comes with a handle on each side to help you move 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 kinds of strollers allow you to see both children at the same time, making it easy for a parent to supervise and talk with them. On the other hand, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.
If you're looking for a lightweight and affordable option the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a highly rated and cost-effective option. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and the newer version allows the seats to face either direction. The latest model is more compact than the predecessor, but still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.
Parents who want to jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller accommodates a single car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in It can be used with 23 different car seats using an adapter that clicks in. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining. Also, we loved how the handles adjust to your height.
If you have two children with similar age, you may want a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also has a standing 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 family business that provides excellent customer service.
Seating
If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage A stroller that can accept these will be crucial. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat 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 a bassinet. We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats since you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be tied into a single brand.
You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only if your kids are close in age.
Fortunately, we've found that there are many strollers to suit families with infant twins or children of similar in age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transfer their babies from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.
The rear and front baskets of the stroller are spacious. These baskets are perfect for storing all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. The front storage area also includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets are made of mesh to prevent items from falling over, so you don't have to search for them.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It provides the same level of versatility as many of our award-winning strollers. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a great choice for twins from birth through early childhood.
