Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats in the early days of your baby. The best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 pushchair double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to face either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits through most doors.

Folding is easy

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It easily glides and pushes while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to secure and remove. You can also use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The oversized storage basket is big enough for all your stuff and comes with a convenient place to store your purse or phone, and four cup holders.

It can be difficult to fold, especially when you hold the handlebar in one hand and the seat for your child in the other. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which takes longer than the other double strollers we tried. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with their new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters as well as the latest ones. It can be folded with two adapters connected simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our favorite infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and both babies can be sat in infant carriers at the same time. It is a popular choice among parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design cuts down the overall length so that it can fit better into certain trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for a child of at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suitable for twins and siblings of similar age. It's still a great choice for families who want to exercise and the robust construction means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller with car seats is a crucial feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially true when you're walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension generally have larger wheels and more shocks. The more comfortable a stroller rides the more shocks it has.

In addition to being easy to steer, a good wheel suspension can make a twin stroller with car seats more robust. It will make it last longer and is ideal if are planning to use it for multiple children or for a prolonged time.

One of the best twin strollers that come with car seats for infants has excellent suspension for the wheels, and it's an old model that's been around for long enough: the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go lightest double stroller. It comes with many features parents love, such as two cup holders, an integrated parent console with cup holder and a huge storage basket. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height which is useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller that folds down to a small size. It also has a few nice touches that we like such as magnetic straps for crotch that can be opened and closed by using just one hand.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is crucial because it keeps your kids secure in case of an accident. This is something that is not always on strollers, but it is mandatory for families with toddlers or infants.

The second top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all the features we love, such as reversible seating and one-hand recline, padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable legs rests, a zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a new seat design to facilitate the reverse of seats when you move.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the sun and rain. Some models have extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our most popular choices that we recommend, the BravoFor2 features an adjustable front seat that is adjustable at the waist and shoulders, making it simple for a single to double buggy parent to take the kids both out. The bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2, so it is not suitable for twins or younger siblings. The stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you transport it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These types of strollers also allow you to view both children at once, making it easy for parents to supervise and converse 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 option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, is a low-cost and highly rated option. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and the newer version allows the seats to face either way. We found the new model to be more compact than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that prefer to run. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at a given time. It is also compatible with 23 different car seat brands using a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't have an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to fit your height.

If you have two kids of the same age you may want to choose a model that lets you sit and stand like the Joovy twin umbrella stroller Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older kids to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller but it's made by a small, family-owned business with a great customer service.

Seating

If you intend to use car seats for twins then a stroller that can take them is necessary. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. For instance, 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 a variety of infant car seat brands, as it allows you to shop at a greater variety of prices without being tied to one particular brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A side-by-side pushchair twin stroller provides the traditional seating configuration and is also easier to maneuver -- particularly in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller may feel unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights may also lead to fighting between siblings.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children of the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to transfer their babies from their vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are large. These baskets are great for storing all your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage has a dedicated compartment for keys and phone. The baskets have mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you don'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 converted into two toddler seats, or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it a great choice for twins, from birth to early childhood.
