Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
When you are a baby you may decide to go with a lightweight frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows the car seat carriers to be facing either in the opposite direction or the same way and also has a huge storage bin that you can access without having to remove the infant carriers. It can also fit through the majority of doors.
Ease of Folding
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glides and pushes easily while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It comes with an adjustable leg and foot rests, a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are simple to unfasten and fasten. You can also use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to accommodate all your items and has a convenient spot to store your phone or purse, and four cup holders.
But it can also be difficult to fold, particularly when you've got one hand on the handlebar and the other on the car seat of your child. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which takes longer than other double strollers that we've tested. Fortunately, the company has upgraded the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The updated version (which will be available in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both positions, and will fold with two adapters at the same time.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our preferred twin stroller for infants. frame. It can be used with a variety of car seats and both babies can be sat in infant carriers at the same time. It is a favorite among parents who have small vehicles. The clever design minimizes the overall length to ensure that it is able to fit into certain trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they recline to multiple positions with the push of the button. The buckles are among the simplest to unfasten and fasten in our tests.
The only drawback to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is designed for a big kid who is at minimum 2 1/2 years old. So it's not suitable for twins or siblings close in age. It's still a great choice for families who want to run and its robust structure means that the frame will not wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tried.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your kids. This is particularly true when you're crossing bumps or rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspension typically have larger wheels and more shocks. The smoother a stroller rides and the more shocks it has.

It is a stand-and-sit 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 compact when folded. It also comes with a few pleasant features we like such as magnetic crotch straps that can be closed and opened by using just one hand.
It also comes with a five-point harness, which is important because it will keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This feature is not always on strollers, but is an essential feature for families with infants or toddlers.

It also has a height-adjustable handle and a redesigned seat to make it easier to reverse seats on the move.
Canopy
A well-designed canopy keeps your children safe from rain or sun Some models have extra features like the peek-a-boo window or the adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2, has a front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulder, making it simple for a single caregiver to take both kids out. Its bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, so it is not suitable for twins or smaller siblings. We liked that the stroller folds up into a compact package and comes with a handle on each side to help you roll it up to the car.
Some parents may prefer a side-by-side double stroller because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These strollers allow parents to see and converse with both children at the same time. The downside is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

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 easier to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand, can feel more unstable and requires more room between the seats. The different heights of the seats could result in a fight between siblings.
