Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
When you are a baby you may want to purchase a light frame stroller that accepts two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model allows you to turn the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or the same. It also has a large storage bin, which can be accessed without the need to take off the infant carriers. It can also fit through most doors.
Ease of Folding
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful twin stroller. It can hold two car seats for infants when fitted with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable footrests and legrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. You can also 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 offers plenty of space for all your belongings. It also has four cup holders, as well as a space to store your purse or phone.
But it's also difficult to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar, and another on the car seat of your child. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base when you want to fold it down, a process that is more time-consuming than other double strollers that we have test. Fortunately, the company changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The latest version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with the original adapters and the updated ones. It can even fold with two adapters that can be connected at once.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by side.

The clever design reduces the overall length so that it can fit better into some trunks. double pram and pushchair are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a large child who's at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not a good choice for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great option for families who wish to run, and its tough frame construction means that it won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheels of a twin stroller that comes with car seats is a crucial feature because it helps to make it more comfortable for your kids. This is especially true when you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than those with no suspension. The more shocks a stroller has the smoother its ride.

Its bench seat is designed to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old. older, which means it's not the best choice for twins or children who are younger.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that can be used side-by-side as it is less likely to cause sibling disputes. These strollers allow parents to be able to talk and observe both children simultaneously. On the downside, side-by-side strollers are typically heavier and longer than single strollers.

Seating
If you're thinking of using car seats for twins in the infant stage A stroller that can accept them will be essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can accommodate two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat, as well as a bassinet. We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can choose from a variety of prices and not be shackled to one brand.
You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller may be unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights may result in a fight between siblings.
We've discovered that there are plenty of stroller options for families with twins who are infants or children of the same age.
