Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You can choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats for infants in the early days of your baby. Some of the Best Twin Stroller choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows you to change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or in the same. It also has a large storage bin, which can be opened without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doorways.

Folding Ease

The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a massive, stunning twin stroller that carries two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It features adjustable footrests and legrests and a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket has plenty of room for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, as well as a space to store your purse or phone.

However, it can be difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar, and another on the car seat of your child. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up--a process that takes longer than other double umbrella stroller strollers we tried. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with adapters that were originally used and the updated ones. It can fold with two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side-by side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design reduces the overall length so that it fits better in trunks that are compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to various positions with the touch of the button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a big kid who is at least 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 want to run, and the sturdy design means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller equipped 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 walking on bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and usually come with more shocks than those without. The smoother a stroller rides, the more shocks it has.

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

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go double buggy is one of 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 huge storage basket. It also has a height-adjustable handle, which can be helpful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular alternative for twins who have infant car seats. It is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with an infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller and folds up to a small size. It comes with some nice features like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your children safe in the case of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers, but it is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all of the wonderful features we like with reversible seats as well as one-second hand double buggy recline, compression padding in both seats adjustable leg rests, zip-up extensions on the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats when you're on the go.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children safe from rain or sun and some models have extra features like an open window or adjustable handles. One of our most popular choices, the BravoFor2, has the front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it easy for a single caregiver to take both children out. Its bench seat is made to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old, so it's not the best choice for twins or children who are younger. We liked that this stroller folds into a compact size and has a handle on both sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side due to its less proneness to squabbles between siblings. These strollers let parents communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are usually heavier and longer than single models.

If you're seeking a light and affordable option the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is a highly rated and affordable choice. It can accommodate two infant car seats. The latest version can be set up in either direction. The latest version is smaller than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is wider than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to run, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at any given time. It is also compatible with 23 different car seat brands using a click-in-adapter, even though it does not have an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy, well-made stroller, which can carry heavy loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer a stroller that lets you stand and sit 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 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 twin infants and a stroller that accepts them is essential. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat as well as a bassinet. We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can choose from a wide range of prices and not be tied to one brand.

It's also important to decide whether you'd like a side-by-side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller can feel unstable and require more space between the seats. In addition, the different heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

Fortunately, we've found there are plenty of stroller options that can be used by families with twins who are infants or children who are similar in age. For instance the Baby Trend sit and stand double stroller and Stand 2.0 double buggy from birth stroller is a highly-rated option that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are large as well. They're ideal for storage of everything you need including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. Plus, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for phones and keys. The baskets are made of mesh to keep items from falling, so you don't have to search around for them.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an alternative that is affordable. It offers a similar degree of versatility to some of our award-winning strollers. The seats are compatible with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted to two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it an ideal option for twins from birth to early childhood.
