Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose a lightweight frame that can accommodate two infant car seats during the baby days. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double pram buggy and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model lets you change the car seat carriers in the opposite direction or in the same. It also has a large storage bin, which can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It also fits through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats fitted with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glids around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It features footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The included toddler seat can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and young children. 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.

But it can also be difficult to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and the other on the child's car seat. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we tested. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the updated ones. It can also be folded using two adapters connected simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats and twins can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a favorite for many parents driving smaller cars and its clever design reduces the overall length to fit better in some compact trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to multiple positions with the push of a button. The buckles are among the simplest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child of at or above 2 1/2. It is not suitable for twins and siblings with similar ages. However, it's a great option for families that want to jog and its robust construction means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature since it can make it more comfortable for your children. This is especially true when you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and shocks. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it has.

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

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels and is one that's been around for since a while the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It comes with a variety of features that many parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as the storage basket, which can accommodate lots of items. It also comes with a height-adjustable handle which is useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins using infant car seats. It is a sit and stand stroller that can either be used as a twin stroller or with a single infant seat in the front. It's a large stroller that folds down to a small size. It comes with some nice features, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with one hand.

It also comes with a five-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the case of an accident. It's not often included on strollers however it's an essential feature for any family with newborns or toddlers.

The second top choice for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all the features we love, such as recline with one hand and reversible seating as well as padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also comes with height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back when you're on the move.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children safe from rain or sun, and a few models come with extra features such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that buckles at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single person to take both children out. Its bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old so it is not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. This stroller is compact and comes with handles on both sides to help you carry it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side thule double stroller stroller because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents see and converse with both children simultaneously. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

If you're looking to find a light alternative, our budget-friendly pick is the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants and the newer version lets the seats face either way. The most recent version is more compact than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

If you're a parent who wants to jog, our top-rated twin pushchair jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can hold one car seat at a single double stroller time. And even though it doesn't have an infant carrier built-in it can be used with 23 different car seats using a click-in adapter. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller that can handle large loads without stress. We also liked the way the handles could be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may want a sit-and-stand model such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller is able to accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with 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 company with a great customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for infant twins, a stroller that accepts them will be essential. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands because it allows you to browse a wider range of prices without having to commit to the same brand.

You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides an older-fashioned seating arrangement, and it's easier to maneuver -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights may result in fighting between siblings.

We've discovered that there are many strollers for families with infant twins or children who are the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and 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 children from their vehicle to the double stroller with ease.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also large. They're perfect for storing everything you need including backpacks, diapers, and extra clothes. Additionally, the front storage has a dedicated compartment for keys and phone. The baskets are made of mesh to keep items from falling over, so you don't have to rummage around for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller, which offers a similar range of features as some of our more expensive award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and can be converted into two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can be used in either direction. This makes it a great option for twins from the time of birth to early childhood.
