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 twin stroller 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 comes with a large storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Folding Ease

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can accommodate two infant car seats when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are sold separately). It glides and pushes easily with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out at the sky and padded five-point security harnesses that are simple to unfasten and fasten. The included toddler seat can be used, or you could add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants and small children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to accommodate all your items and includes a handy place to keep your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.

It can be a challenge to fold, especially when you're holding the handlebar with one hand and the seat for your child in the other. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base in order to fold it up--a process that takes longer than other double strollers we've tested. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters as well as the latest ones. It can fold with two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It works with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design reduces the overall length to fit better in trunks that are compact. The seats are comfortable and cushioned, and they can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the easiest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.

The only issue with 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 of similar ages. It's still a great option for families who want to exercise and the durable structure means it won't deteriorate as fast as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for the children. This is especially true when you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it will have.

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 children or for a long amount of time.

One of the top twin strollers with car seats for infants comes with excellent suspension for the wheels, and it's a model that's been around long enough the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go double seat stroller. It comes with a variety of features that parents love, including two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder and the storage basket, which can hold lots of items. 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 a single infant car seat in the front or as twin strollers. It offers plenty of storage space and is relatively compact when folded. It also comes with a few nice touches that we like such as magnetic straps for crotch that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.

It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is vital because it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This isn't always found on strollers however it's mandatory for any family with infants or toddlers.

The Contours Options Elite V2 is another top option for twin strollers that can accommodate car seats. It has all the features we like, including reversible seating and one-hand recline with a the ability to compress the padding on both seats, adjustable legs rests, zippered extension on both canopy and extra-large storage. It also comes with a height-adjustable handrail and a new seat design to allow for easier reversing of seats while moving.

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, the BravoFor2 is equipped with a 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 is able to accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old therefore, it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. We liked the fact that it folds down into a compact package and comes with a handle on both sides to help carry it to the car.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used together because it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These strollers double let parents communicate and interact with both children simultaneously. On the downside, side-by-side models tend to be heavier and longer than single strollers.

If you're looking for a lightweight option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go is an affordable and highly rated choice. It can accommodate two car seats for infants and the latest version allows the seats to face either way. We found the latest model to be more compact than the previous model, however it still weighs more and is a little larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger for parents that like to jog. This stroller accommodates a single car seat at a time--and even though it doesn't have a built-in infant carrier it can be used with 23 different car seats using a click-in adapter. It's a sturdy, well-constructed stroller that can hold large loads without straining, and we were impressed by the way the handles adjust to your height.

If you have two children who are the same age, you might prefer a sit-and-stand model like the Joovy Twin Roo+. This stroller can accommodate a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat and comes with a standing platform for older kids to stand on. It's a tad more expensive than our budget stroller, but it's made by a small, family-owned business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage A stroller that can accept these seats is essential. Many of our top-scoring double stroller with infant car seat strollers work with car seat adapters, making them compatible with all the top brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seat brands because it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being tied to one particular brand.

You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside arrangement is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and requires more space between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of seats can result in sibling squabbles, so we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are close to age.

There are a variety of strollers available for families with twins or children of the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that is 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 rear and front baskets of the stroller are large. These baskets are ideal for storing all of your diaper bags, extra clothing, and backpacks. The front storage area has a designated compartment for your phones and keys. The baskets are sided with mesh to keep items from falling over, so you don't have to search around for them.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller that offers the same versatility to some of our higher-end award winners. Its seats can be used with two infant car seat carriers and be converted into two toddler seats or modified bassinets that can be oriented in any direction. This makes it an excellent choice for twins, from the time of birth to early childhood.
