Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may want to go with a lightweight twin buggy frame stroller that can accommodate 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 opposite directions or in the same direction and also has a huge storage bin that is accessible without removing the infant carriers. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.

Folding is easy

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats fitted with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It glids, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It has footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. You can use the included toddler seat, or choose to add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like chair for babies and small children. The large storage basket provides plenty of space to store all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, as well as a place to store your phone or purse.

It can be a challenge to fold, especially if you are holding the handlebar in one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other off road double buggy strollers we tested. Thankfully, the company has updated the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the updated ones. It can be folded with two adapters that can be connected at once.

Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular twin stroller for infants. frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and allows you to carry twins in infant carriers side-by-side. It is a popular choice among parents who have small cars. The clever design minimizes the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into some trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined to various positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the easiest to fasten and undo in our tests.

The only issue with 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 a good choice for twins or siblings that are close in age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to jog, and its tough frame construction means that it will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tried.

Wheel Suspension

The wheel suspension on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially important when you're navigating bumps or taking rough terrain during your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and more shocks. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother its ride.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the case of an accident. This isn't always present on strollers, but it should be a requirement for any family with newborns or toddlers.

It also comes with adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to flip the seats around while on the move.

Canopy

One of our top picks is the BravoFor2 has a front seat with a buckle that can be adjusted at the waist and around the shoulder. This makes it easy for one caregiver to take two kids out. The bench seat is able to be used by children who are at least 2 1/2, so it is not suitable for twins or children with younger siblings. However, we liked the fact that it folds down into a compact size and has a handle on the sides to help roll it up to the car.

Some parents might prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to see and converse with both children at the same time. On the other hand, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

This stroller can fit a pair of infant car seats or a single toddler seat and offers a standing platform that allows older kids to stand on. It's more expensive than our budget stroller, but it's made by a small family-owned business with excellent customer service.

Seating

If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. Many of our top-scoring double strollers work with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with all the top brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 cheap double pushchair works with two car seats, and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and a bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats due to the fact that you can choose from a variety of prices and not be shackled into one brand.

You'll need to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers a more traditional seating configuration and is more maneuverable -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller however is more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different heights of the seats could also lead to an argument between siblings.

The front storage also includes a space for your keys and phone. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you don't have to look around for them.
