Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may want to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows car seat carriers to face either in the opposite direction or the same way and has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Easy folding

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

But it's also difficult to fold, especially if you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up, a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we have test. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with the new car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions and will fold with two of the adapters at the same time.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats and twins can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design cuts down the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and can recline to a variety of positions at the push of one button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. But it's still an excellent option for families that want to run and its sturdy frame construction means that it will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on a twin stroller that has car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for children. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers that have suspension have bigger wheels, and typically have more shocks than strollers that do not. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with, the smoother it will ride.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is ideal if you plan on using it for multiple kids or a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is among the best Twin Stroller twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great suspension on the wheels and is an old model.

It comes with a height-adjustable handle that 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 a single infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller that folds to a small size. It has some nice extras like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is crucial as it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. It's not often present on strollers but it's a requirement for any family with infants or toddlers.

It also has a adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to turn the seats back when you're on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Some models come with extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2, features the front seat with a buckle that is adjusted at the waist and shoulder. This makes it possible for a single caregiver to take two kids out. Its bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2 years old therefore, it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. We liked that this stroller folds into a compact unit and has a handle on both sides to help 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 strollers let parents communicate and interact with both children at the same time. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and more long than single models.

If you're looking for a light option, our budget choice, the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated option. It accepts two infant car seats, and the latest version allows the seats to face either way. We found the most recent model to be smaller than its predecessor, however it still weighs more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents who like to jog. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at a given time. It can also be used with 23 different brands of car seats via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can carry big loads without straining, and we loved how the handles can be adjusted to suit 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+. It can be used with the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned company with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. Many of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double buggy with car seat stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat, as well as a bassinet. We prefer strollers that can work with multiple infant car seat brands since it allows you to browse for a wide range of prices without being tied to one particular brand.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only when your kids are close in age.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children who are similar age. For instance, the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller and Stand 2.0 double stroller is highly rated that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transport their babies in comfort from their vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are big and spacious, too. They're perfect for storing all your belongings, including diaper bags, backpacks and other clothes. Additionally, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets come with mesh sides to prevent items from falling out, so you won't have to look around for them.
