Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

In the early days of your baby, you might choose to use a light frame stroller that can accommodate 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 be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and comes with a large storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carrier. It also fits through most doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stunning, huge twin umbrella stroller stroller that holds two infant car seats fitted with the proper adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides, turns and pushes like a single-seater stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to secure and remove. You can use the included toddler seat, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket is spacious enough to hold all your belongings and has a convenient spot to stash your phone or purse, and four cup holders.

But it's also difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar and the other on the child's car seat. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it down, a procedure that takes longer than other double strollers we tried. Fortunately, the company updated the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both configurations, and it will even fold with two adapters connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It works with 23 different car seat models and is able to carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its clever design shortens the overall length to fit better in some compact trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a big kid who is at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not suitable for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great choice for families who wish to go jogging and the durable design means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrainatures we love, such as the ability to reversibly seat and recline one hand with a padding that compresses on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also comes with adjustable height for the handles as well as a new seat design that makes it simpler to reverse the seats while on the move.

Canopy

A well-designed canopy keeps your children shielded from the rain or sun Some models come with extra features such as an open window or adjustable handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 is equipped with the front seat that can be buckled at the shoulder and waist--making it easy for a single parent to take both children out. The 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 children with younger siblings. This stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help carry it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less susceptible to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children at the same time. The downside is that side-byside strollers tend to be heavier and longer than single models.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice is the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is a low-cost and highly rated option. It can accommodate two car seats for infants. The newer version allows them to be positioned in any direction. The most recent version is more compact than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is longer than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

For parents who want to run the twin jogger that we recommend as our top pick is the Jeep-branded Urban Glide 3. This stroller can fit one car seat at a given time. It can also be used with 23 different car seat brands via the click-in-adapter, despite the fact that it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in. It's a sturdy and well-constructed stroller that can handle large loads without straining, and we liked the way that the handles can be adjusted to suit your height.

If you have two children of the same age you might want to consider a model that lets you stand and sit, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can fit a pair of infant car seats or one toddler seat, and has a standing platform for older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget stroller but it's made by a small, family-owned business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins, then a stroller which will accept them is crucial. A lot of our top-scoring double strollers come 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 one car seat and a bassinet. We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seat brands, as it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being locked into the same brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and easy to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and require more space between the seats. The different seat heights may also lead to fighting between siblings.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children who are similar age. The Baby Trend Sit & Stand stokke Double Stroller stroller, for example is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats. This allows parents to move their children from the vehicle to the double stroller in comfort.

The stroller's front and rear storage baskets are big, too. These baskets are perfect for storing all of your diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. The front storage comes with a place to store your phone and keys. The baskets are sided with mesh to stop items from falling over, so you don't need to search around for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double travel stroller stroller that offers the same versatility to some of our top award winners. Its seats can be converted 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 to early childhood.
