Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
In the early days of your baby you may want to go with a lightweight frame stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats. The best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.
This model allows car seat carriers to be facing either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It is also able to fit through most doorways.
Folding is easy
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a huge beautiful twin stroller. It can carry two car seats for infants when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glids, pushes and turns like a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable legs and foot rests, a generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses that are easy to unfasten and fasten. You can use the included toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet like seat for small children and infants. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough to accommodate all your items and comes with a convenient place to keep your phone or purse and four cup holders.
It can be difficult to fold, particularly when you hold the handlebar with one hand while holding the seat for your child in the other. You'll also need remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than the other double strollers we tried. Fortunately, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version--launched April 2023) will work with both the original and updated adapters in both positions, and it will even fold with two of the adapters connected at once.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats, and twins can be carried in their infant carriers at the same time. It's a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars and its innovative design reduces the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to a variety of positions at the press of one button. The buckles are among the simplest to secure and remove in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child who is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suitable for twins or siblings of similar age. However, it's a great choice for families who want to jog and its sturdy frame construction means that it will not wear out as quickly as other tandems we've tried.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and they typically come with more shocks than those with no suspension. The more smooth a stroller's ride the more shocks it has.
A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will allow it to last longer, which is great when you intend to use it for multiple kids or a long period of time.
The Baby Trend Snap-N Go Double is one of the top twin strollers for infants with car seats. It comes with a great wheel suspension, and it's an older model. It comes with many features parents love, such as two cup holders, a parent console with cup holder, and a large storage bin. It also has a handle that can be adjusted to height, which can be helpful for taller parents.
Another option that is popular for twins who have infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. It is a stand-and-sit stroller that can be used with a single infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It is a very spacious stroller and folds up to a compact size. It has some nice extras, such as magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.
It also comes with a 5-point harness, which is vital because it will keep your kids secure in case of an accident. This isn't always found on strollers, but it should be an essential feature for any family with newborns or toddlers.

It comes with all of the wonderful features we like, including reversible seats and one-hand reclining, compression padding in both seats, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopy and storage space that is extra-large. It also has height-adjustable handles and an improved seat design that makes it easier to flip the seats around when you're on the move.
Canopy
A good canopy keeps your children safe from sun or rain, and a few models include extra features, such as a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our top picks, the BravoFor2 has the front seat with a buckle that is adjusted at the waist and shoulder. This makes it possible for a single parent to take two kids out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2 years old therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. The stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you transport it to your car.
Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less prone to sibling squabbles. These types of strollers also allow you to view both children at once, making it easy for parents to supervise and converse with them. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and more long than single models.
If you're looking to find a light option, our budget choice Baby Trend Double Snap-N'-Go is an affordable and highly rated selection. It accepts two car seats for infants and the more recent version allows the seats to be positioned in any direction. We found the latest version to be less bulky than its predecessor, but it still weighs more and is a bit larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

It can accommodate a single car seat at a time, and even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in it can be used with 23 different brands of car seats with the click-in adapter.

It's a bit more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller but the company that makes it is a small family company with outstanding customer service.
Seating
If you're planning to use car seats for infant twins the stroller that supports these seats is essential. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers are compatible with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat as well as a bassinet (sold separately). We recommend strollers that are compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be tied to one brand.
You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers a more traditional seating configuration, and it's easier to maneuver -- especially in narrow spaces or over curbs. A tandem stroller however it can be more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights could result in a fight between siblings.
Fortunately, we've found there are many strollers to suit families with infant twins or children who are the same age. For instance the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a top-rated model that's compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). Parents can carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.
The rear and front baskets of the stroller are large. These baskets are perfect to store all of your diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. The front storage area also has a compartment for keys and phones. The baskets are equipped with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, so you don't have to keep rummaging for them.
