Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby, you might choose to purchase a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the best twin stroller options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

This model allows you to turn the car seat carriers in the same or opposite direction. It also comes with an enormous storage bin that can be accessed without having to remove the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through most doorways.

Ease of Folding

The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It glides and pushes easily with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It features adjustable leg and footrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The large storage basket offers plenty of space to store all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, which is a place to keep your purse or phone.

But it's also difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than the other double strollers double strollers that we've tested. Fortunately, the company has upgraded the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the new ones. It can even be folded with two adapters connected simultaneously.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our favorite infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats and both babies can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its innovative design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded and can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a big kid who is at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not suitable for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great choice for families that want to run and the robust design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers that have car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller comes with, the smoother it will ride.

A twin stroller that has a car seat that is easy to steer will be more durable. It can help it last longer, which is great for those who plan to use it for multiple kids or for a long period of time.

The Baby Trend Snap N-Go Double is among the best twin strollers for infants with car seats. It features a fantastic wheel suspension and it's an older model. It has a lot of features that many parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and an storage basket that can accommodate many items. It also comes with a height-adjustable handle that can be useful 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 as a twin stroller, or with one infant seat in the front. It has a ton of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It has some nice extras, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

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

It also has a height-adjustable handle and a new seat design to allow for easier reversing of seats while moving.

Canopy

A canopy will protect your children from the rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top picks is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features a front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulders, making it easy for a single person to take the kids both out. The bench seat can only be used by children who are at least 2 1/2, so it is not suitable for twins or younger siblings. We liked that this stroller folds into a compact size and has handles on the sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side because it is less likely to result in sibling fights. These kinds of strollers let you see both children at once, making it easy for a parent to supervise and converse with them. The downside is that side-by-side strollers tend to be heavier and longer than single models.

If you are looking for a lightweight and affordable option Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a highly rated and cost-effective option. It accepts two infant car seats, and the latest version lets the seats face either direction. We found the most recent version to be less bulky than its predecessor, but it still weighs a little more and is a bit longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to run in tandem, our top-rated twin jogger is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. It can hold one car seat at a given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands using a click-in-adapter, even though it doesn't have an infant carrier included. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller that can handle heavy loads with ease and without stress. We also loved the fact that the handles could be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two kids with the same age, you may want to choose a stroller that allows you to stand and sit, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. The stroller can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also comes with a platform for older kids to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller, however, it's manufactured by a small family-owned business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for twins in the infant stage A stroller that can accept them will be essential. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers work with car seat adapters, making them compatible with all the top brands. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double pushchair with car seat works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can pick from a variety of prices and not be tied to one brand.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. In addition, the different heights of the seats can cause sibling squabbles, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your children are close to age.

We've discovered that there are numerous stroller options to suit families with twins in the infant stage or children who are similar in age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand amazon double stroller stroller, for instance is a highly-rated option and compatible with car seats. Parents can move their children from the vehicle to the double umbrella stroller stroller with ease.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are spacious. These baskets are perfect for storing all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage compartment has a separate compartment for keys and phone. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to help prevent items from falling out, so you don't have to keep rummaging for them.
