Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples will want a double stroller that can hold two infant car seats at once. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can hold 23 different car seat models.
It also has a large storage basket, parent cup holders and reversible seating with best-in-class legroom between the two seats.
The Baby Trend(r), Universal Double Snap-N-Go (r)
The Baby Trend(r), Universal Double Snap-N-Go (r) is a fantastic stroller that is compatible with most infant car seats. It has a large basket for storage as well as a tray for parents with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds up easily to store it or transport it. It's one of the easiest strollers to use and has good maneuverability for a side-by-side model. It was not as efficient in our jog test and struggled on more steeper curbs. The swivel wheels on the front don't seem to be able to catch obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are simple to put in and work with all major brands. However, the stroller only accepts one infant car seat carrier at a time. Parents of twins will have to look for another option if they want to use their infant car seats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top scoring options that can be used with two infant car seats at the same time.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and comes with a nice basket however, it falls short of our ride comfort measurement. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks to absorb the bumps and vibrations of the road. This can be a challenge for small passengers. The lack of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump that comes along the road. This may not be a problem as passengers get older but it is something to think about when your children are toddlers or infants.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 lbs. However it feels heavy when packed with cargo and passengers. It's hard to jog with no jog lock and it was a bit difficult traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging, and it weighs less at 41 lbs. It can still be a bit challenging to lift and carry, but it comes with a handle specifically designed for this purpose. The jog-strollers have larger wheels, which provide superior performance off-road. They also have a more sturdy chassis and are made of durable materials that are able to stand up to long-term use.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 comes with all the features parents appreciate: reversible seats one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies and an adult cupholder. In addition, it comes with amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It comes with seven different types of seating, including the hard-to-find double-rear-facing configuration. This allows kids to be able to see each other while keeping an eye on their parents.
This stroller's compatibility with multiple infant car seats is among its greatest features. It offers families more options and prevents them from being confined to one model of stroller that works with baby car seat. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats and Britax double car seats. It also accepts the UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It also has an additional adapter for when you have twins, or need to use two infant car seat.
It's not a side-by-side stroller and is one stroller and is able to be used in all aisles and doors with ease. It's not as easy to maneuver as a jogging stroller, but it's still a great choice for shopping and road trip excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but not too heavy to carry.
The seats are fairly comfortable for children, and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is big, too, and can be removed for a bit more sun protection. However, it does not provide ample storage space for necessities for parents and some families may find to be inconvenient.
This stroller comes with a foot brake and a safety harness. It also has five-point harnesses for every child. The front wheels can be locked for added security and the handles are ergonomically designed. It folds up in ease, and it stands when folded. While it's not an easy one-hand fold like others of the top strollers on this list, it's not too difficult to accomplish with a bit of practice, and the process is quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a budget-friendly, stylish and modern stroller that will grow with your family. It comes with car seat compatibility, reversible seats, and a sleek frame. It comes with easy-to-use daily features as well as a simple, one-handed fold that self-stands that is quite impressive for a model that is priced lower. However, it has an a bit more substantial feel than much of the other models and smaller wheels that struggle with pushing off-road or in tight corners and narrow doorways.
This stroller is compatible with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) - no adapters required. The frame of the stroller can be expanded in seconds by adding a second seat. This is made without the need of tools or other parts. It can also be configured in 23 different ways across the USA to fit toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to accommodate older children or to cradle the baby at an angle that is comfortable for infant mode.
A large, spacious storage basket, as well as back and front-accessible seat pockets increase the stroller's functionality and the cushioned, contoured seat provides maximum comfort for passengers. A retractable canopy shields children from sun and a peek-a-boo window allows parents to keep an eye on their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride in tandem, or be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can accommodate a variety of beverages, and the stroller is easily foldable with the toddler seat attached, making it easy to access storage space.
Most reviewers appreciate the ease with which the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate a second seat. A few have noted that it is a bit difficult to attach an infant car seat on the integrated mounts, whereas attaching the second toddler seat is easier and faster. Evenflo does offer the option of video chat for customers to ask questions and get help with installing car seats it is a nice feature. The only other major drawback for this stroller is its relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are similar in age. It is simple to put together straight out of the package and, unlike other sit-and-stand options it is relatively light at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in multiple positions to allow your baby or toddler to rest and even have an extra footrest for older children who need it. The cushioned handle bar is the ideal position for older children to grip while standing, even when wearing mittens. Many parents have shared that this feature alone makes it safer than the vast majority of its rivals.
double travel buggy is padded with a back seat that can fit the child up to two years. This allows you to keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a huge advantage for parents adhering to the #TurnAfter2 campaign which encourages babies and children to be rear-facing until they reach the age of two years old. The seat is simple to buckle, and it is equipped with the same five-point harness as the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another advantage: it can accept the Chicco KeyFit car seat or Fit2 in the front. It is easy to attach your baby carrier by lowering the front seat and then snapping it into. This makes it one of the most versatile double strollers available. It also allows you to avoid wasting money by buying a stroller that is only used a few times and will end in your garage or donated to a second-hand shop.
The only issue with this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders, and the storage space is limited. But, it's an excellent option for families with just one child who will be walking for the duration of their stroll and younger siblings in a car seat the front. It's also a great option for travel, as it is able to fold into a compact size to be gate-checked into an airplane or tucked away in your trunk.
