Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby you may want to go with a lightweight frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. Some of the Best Twin Stroller choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model lets you change the car seat carriers in either the same or opposite direction. It also has an enormous storage bin which can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It also fits through the majority of doors.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge gorgeous twin stroller. It can hold two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It is easy to push and glide with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to fasten and unfasten. It comes with a toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for small children and infants. The large storage basket is spacious enough for all your stuff and comes with a convenient place to stash your phone or purse and four cup holders.

However, it can be awkward to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar, and another on the car seat of your child. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other double strollers double strollers that we test. Thankfully, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two of the adapters attached at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and both babies can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It is a popular choice among parents who drive small cars. The clever design reduces the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they can recline to a variety of positions at the touch of one button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

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

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for children. This is particularly true when you're crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually come with larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother its ride.

A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will last longer and is ideal if intend to use it for multiple children or for a prolonged time.

The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It has great wheel suspension, and it's an old model. It's loaded with features that parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as the storage basket, which can accommodate a lot. It comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Chicco BravoFor2 is another popular option for twins with 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 packed with storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also comes with a few nice features that we love for example, magnetic straps for crotch that can be opened and closed with just one hand.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is important because it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. That's something that's not always found on strollers but it's an essential feature for any family with infants or toddlers.

The other top pick for twin strollers that have car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It comes with all of the features we love, including reversible seats and one-hand recline, compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to the canopy as well as extra-large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a redesigned seat to facilitate the reverse of seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the elements of rain and sun. Some models have extra features, such as an adjustable handle or peekaboo. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 has a front seat with a buckle that is adjusted to the waist and shoulders. This makes it easy for a single parent to take two kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. This stroller is small and comes with handles on both sides to help transport it to your car.

Some parents might prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These strollers let you see both children at once, making it easy for parents to supervise and talk with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking to find a light option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated choice. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and the latest version lets the seats be positioned in any direction. The latest version is more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that like to jog. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at any given time. It also works with 23 different brands of car seats via a click-in-adapter, even though it does not have an infant carrier included. It's a solid, well-made stroller that can handle large loads without straining, and we loved how the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you might want to consider a stroller that lets you sit and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can be used with two infant car seats or one toddler seat, and offers a standing platform that allows older kids to stand on. It's a little more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company behind it is a small, family-owned business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you're planning on using car seats for twins who are infants, a stroller that accepts these seats is essential. Many of our top-scoring double strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, making them compatible with most popular 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 an infant bassinet. We recommend strollers that work with a variety of infant car seats brands because it allows you to browse a wider range of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that has a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller however, can feel more unstable and requires more space between the seats. Additionally, the various seat heights can lead to sibling squabbles, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options for families with infant twins or children who are the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and the EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This allows parents to carry their children comfortably from their car to the stroller.

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

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same versatility to some of our more expensive award winners. Its seats can be transformed into two toddler seats or modified bassinets. They can also be used with two infant car seats. This makes it a good option for twins starting from birth until early childhood.
