Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You could choose a lightweight frame that can accommodate two car seats during the first few months of life. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows you to change the car seat carriers in either the opposite direction or the same. It also comes with an enormous storage bin that can be accessed without removing the infant carriers. It also fits through the majority of doors.
Easy folding
The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a huge, gorgeous twin stroller that holds two infant car seats with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are sold separately). It easily glides and pushes while turning and spinning as a single-seat stroller. It comes with adjustable leg and footrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and young children. The large storage basket has plenty of space to store everything you need and comes with four cup holders, which is a space to store your phone or purse.
But it can also be awkward to fold, especially when you've got one hand on the handlebar, and another on the child's car seat. And you'll need to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up, a process that takes longer than other double strollers we've tested. The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to be compatible with the 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 of the adapters connected at once.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular twin stroller for infants. frame. It can be used with 23 different car seats and twins can be carried in infant carriers simultaneously. It's a long-time favorite of parents driving smaller cars, and its clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better in some compact trunks. The seats are comfortable and padded, and they can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the most simple to secure and remove in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is made for a child who's at least 2 1/2 years old--so it's not suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's still a great option for families who wish to run and the robust construction means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheels on a twin stroller that has car seats makes it more comfortable for kids. This is particularly true when you're crossing bumps or rough terrain on your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually come with larger wheels and shocks. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother it will ride.
In addition to being simple to steer, a good wheel suspension also makes a twin stroller that has car seats more durable. It will make it last longer and is a great option if you intend to use it for multiple children or for a prolonged period.

It also comes with adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it easier to turn the seats back while on the move.

Its bench seat is made to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old. older, so it's not the ideal choice for twins or younger siblings. We liked that the stroller folds up into a compact size and has handles on each side to help you carry it to the car.

A lot of our top-scoring double strollers work with car seat adapters, making them compatible with the most popular brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate one car seat and a bassinet. We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seat brands, as it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being locked into one particular brand.
You'll need to decide if you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and easier to maneuver, particularly in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller, on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more room between the seats. In addition, the differing heights of the seats can cause sibling squabbles, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.

For instance, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that is compatible with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus).
