Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You can choose a frame that is lightweight and can accommodate two car seats for infants in the early days of your baby. Some of the top options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows car seat carriers to be facing opposite directions or in the same direction and comes with a large storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.
Folding Ease
The Vista V2 by UPPAbaby is a massive, stunning twin stroller that holds two infant car seats with the appropriate adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes with a smooth, smooth spin similar to a single-seat stroller. It features footrests that can be adjusted, leg and leg rests that are adjustable, a large UPF 50+ canopy, a peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The included toddler seat can be utilized, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet like seat for infants and small children. The large storage basket has plenty of space to store all your belongings. smallest double buggy has four cup holders, which is a place to keep your purse or phone.
It can be difficult to fold, especially if you are holding the handlebar in one hand and the child's seat in the other. It's also necessary to disconnect the rear seat from the base to fold it up--a process that takes longer than other double strollers we've tested. Fortunately, the company changed the Vista to work with 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 of the adapters connected at once.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our favorite twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with 23 different car seat models and can carry twins in infant carriers side-by-side. It's a long-time favorite of parents who drive cars with smaller wheels and its clever design reduces the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined to various positions by pressing the button. The buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.
The only issue with the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child of at or above 2 1/2. It's not suited for twins or siblings of similar age. But it's still an excellent choice for families who want to jog and its sturdy structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tested.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is particularly true if you're going over bumps or navigating rough terrain on your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and typically have more shocks than those that do not. The more shocks a stroller is equipped with the smoother it will ride.
A twin stroller with car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will last longer and is ideal if you are planning to use it for multiple children or for a prolonged time.

Canopy
A canopy will shield your children from the rain and sun. Certain models include extra features, such as a peekaboo or adjustable handles. One of our most popular choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 is equipped with an adjustable front seat that buckles at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single parent to take both children out. The bench seat can only accommodate children of at least 2 1/2, so it is not suitable for twins or younger siblings. The stroller is small and has handles on both sides to help you take it to the car.
Some parents may prefer a stroller with a side-byside design 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 flip side, side-byside models are often heavier and longer than single strollers.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-by-side stroller. A twin stroller with a side-byside configuration is more traditional and easy to maneuver, particularly in narrow spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller can be unstable and require more space between the seats. Additionally, the various heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we suggest you use a tandem stroller only when your children are close to age.
