"The Ultimate Cheat Sheet" For Twin Stroller With Car Seats

Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

You could choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats during the baby days. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.

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

Ease of folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats that have the correct adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glides, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. The included toddler seat can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants as well as young children. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough to accommodate all your items and has a convenient spot to keep your purse or phone, and four cup holders.

It can be difficult to fold, particularly when you're holding the handlebar with one hand and the child's seat in the other. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other double strollers we tried. 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 as well as the updated ones. It can even be folded using two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It works with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side by side. It is a favorite among parents who drive small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.

The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is made for an older child who is at least 2 1/2 years old. It's not suitable for twins and siblings with similar ages. But it's still an excellent choice for families who want to run, and its tough structure means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tested.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers with 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 generally have larger wheels and shocks. The more comfortable a stroller rides, the more shocks it comes with.

In addition to being easy to steer, good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more robust. It will make it last longer and is ideal if intend to use it with multiple children or for a prolonged period.

It also has a height-adjustable handle and an improved seat design to make it easier to reverse seats when you move.

Canopy

A canopy can shield your children from the rain and sun. Some models come with extra features, such as the ability to peek behind or adjust the handles. One of our top choices is the BravoFor2 has an front seat with a buckle that is adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it easy for one caregiver to take two children out. The bench seat is designed to hold a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old, so it's not the best option for twins or children who are younger. However, we liked that this stroller folds into a compact unit and has handles on each side to help you move it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a double stroller for twins stroller that is side-by-side because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. On the flip side, side-byside strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight alternative, our budget-friendly pick is the Baby Trend double running stroller Snap-N'-Go is a low-cost and highly rated selection. It can accommodate two car seats for infants, and the newer version allows the seats to face either way.

This stroller can accommodate the infant car seats or a single toddler seat and offers a standing platform that allows older children to stand on. It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller, but the company that makes it is a small, family-owned business with outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins and a stroller that can take them is necessary. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most popular car seat brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats because you can pick from a variety of prices and not be tied into a single brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem double buggy or side-byside stroller. A side-by-side twin stroller provides an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is also more maneuverable -- especially in tight spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different heights of the seats could result in fighting between siblings.

Fortunately, we've found there are plenty of stroller options to suit families with twins in the infant stage or children who are similar in 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 EZ-Lift 35 Plus). This lets parents transport their babies in comfort from the vehicle to the stroller.

The stroller's rear and front storage baskets are spacious as well. These baskets are ideal for storing all of your diaper bags, extra clothes and backpacks. The front storage includes a space for keys and phones. The baskets have mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you don't need to look around for them.

Its seats can be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets. They can be combined with two infant car seats. This makes it a great choice for twins from birth until early childhood.
