7 Little Changes That'll Make An Enormous Difference To Your Twin Stroller With Car Seats

Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

When you are a baby you may decide to go with a lightweight twin buggy frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. The top choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing either in the opposite direction or the same way and has a huge storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also be easily fit through most doorways.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that carries two infant car seats that have the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It is easy to push and glide while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. You can also use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket is big enough to hold all your belongings and has a convenient spot to store your phone or purse as well as four cup holders.

But it's also awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar and another on the child's car seat. You'll also 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 pram pushchair strollers we tested. The company has updated its Vista stroller to be compatible with the new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters and the latest ones. It can even be folded with two adapters attached simultaneously.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats and both babies can be carried in their infant carriers simultaneously. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design shortens the overall length so that it fits better in some compact trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to various positions with the press of one button. The buckles are among the simplest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for a child of at least 2 1/2 years old. It is not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. But it's still an excellent choice for families who want to run and its sturdy structure means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature since it can make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true when you're crossing bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than strollers with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother its travel.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will make it last longer and is a great option if you intend to use it with multiple children or over a long period.

One of the top twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with great wheel suspension, and it's an old model that's been around for long enough The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double. It has a lot of features that parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a parent console with a cup holder as well as a storage basket that can hold a lot. 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 with infant car seats. This is a sit and stand stroller that could be used as a twin stroller, or with an infant seat that is placed in front. It's a large stroller that folds down to a compact size. It comes with some nice features like magnetic crotch belts that can be opened or closed with one hand.

It also comes with a five-point harness, which is crucial because it keeps your children safe in the event of an accident. This is something that is not always included on strollers, but it is an essential feature for families with toddlers or infants.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that accommodate carseats. It comes with all the features we love, such as the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand, compression padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, zippered extension on both canopy, and a large storage. It also has adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to turn the seats back while on the move.

Canopy

A canopy will shield your children from the sun and rain. Some models have additional features, like the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features a front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single person to take the kids both out. Its bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old. older, which means it's not the best option for twins or younger siblings. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact package and has a handle on both sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents may prefer a side-by-side double stroller due to its less proneness to sibling squabbles. These types of strollers also let you see both children at the same time and make it easier for a parent to supervise and converse with them. On the flip side, side-byside models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you are seeking a light and affordable option Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a highly-rated and cost-effective option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants, and the more recent version lets the seats face either direction. We found the latest model to be smaller than its predecessor, however it still weighs more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to jog, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can accommodate one car seat at a given time. It also works with 23 different brands of car seats via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it does not have an infant carrier included. It's a sturdy and well-built stroller, that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to fit your height.

If you have two kids who are the same age, you may prefer a stroller that lets you sit and stand double stroller and stand, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat. It also comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller however, it's manufactured by a small, family-owned business with a great customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins, a stroller that accepts these seats is essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double infant stroller works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can pick from a variety of prices and not be shackled 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 configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand is more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different seat heights may cause fighting between siblings.

We've discovered that there are many strollers to suit families with infant twins or children who are the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 nipper double buggy stroller is highly rated that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 and EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents carry their children comfortably from the vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are large and spacious, too. These baskets are ideal to store all of your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage area has a designated compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are mesh-sided to stop items from falling over, so you don't have to rummage to find them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same flexibility to our more expensive award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and convert to two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it a great option for twins from birth to early childhood.
