Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples will require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is a tough, frame stroller that takes 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters sold separately).
The car also comes with an ample storage basket and cup holders for parents, and seats that can be reversible, giving the most legroom in its class 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 can be used with the majority of infant car seat carriers. It has a large basket for storage and an adult tray with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds easily to store or transport. It's one of the most user-friendly strollers and has good maneuverability for a side-by-side design. It was not as efficient in our jog test and struggled on more steeper curbs. The swivel wheels on the front have trouble catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to install and work with most major brands. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat carrier at a time so parents of twins will have to look for another alternative if they plan to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top scoring options that work with two infant car seats at the same time.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and comes with a nice basket, it falls short of our ride comfort measurement. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks that can absorb road vibrations and bumps which could be challenging for infants. The absence of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump on the road. This may not be an issue as passengers get older however it is important to take into consideration when your children are still infants or toddlers.
This is a fairly lightweight frame stroller, weighing less than 40 lbs. It's heavy with passengers and cargo. It is difficult to jog with no jog lock, and it had difficulty traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter option for jogging and weighs in at 41 lbs. It is still difficult to lift and carry, but it has a handle specifically made to help you do this. The jog-strollers feature larger wheels, which provide better performance off-road. They have a better-built chassis and are made of robust materials that can 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 reclining, adjustable legs rests, zippered extensions to both canopies and an adult cupholder. Plus, it has some amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle, as well as quilted seats. It also has seven seating options that include the difficult-to-find double rear facing position, allowing kids to see each other while keeping an eye on mom and dad.
The stroller's compatibility to multiple infant car seats is among its best features. It gives families more choices and prevents them from being tied to a single brand of stroller that is compatible with the baby car seats. 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 seats. It has a second adapter if you have twins or want to use two infant car seat.
It is not a side by side stroller, which makes it feel like a single stroller. It can be used in numerous aisles and doorways. It's not as easy to maneuver as a jogging stroller however it's still a great choice for road trips and shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but not too heavy to lift.
The seats are comfy for children, and the storage basket is a good size. The canopy is also big and can be opened for more sun protection. It does not have much storage space for the parent's requirements, which can be a problem for certain families.
The stroller comes with an electronic foot brake and safety harness. It also comes with a five-point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked to provide extra stability, and the ergonomic handles provide an ergonomic grip. It is easy to fold and stands up when folded. Although it doesn't feature an easy one-hand fold like some of the other top strollers on this list, it's not difficult to do with a little practice, and the process is faster than other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a budget-friendly, stylish and modern stroller that can grow with your family. It offers car seat compatibility, reversible seating, and a stylish frame. The stroller is easy to use and features a single-handed fold that permits a self-stand. It's a good value given its price. It has a firmer feel than most of the other models, and has smaller wheels which make it difficult to push off the road, in tight turns or through narrow doorways.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seat or toddler seats that are sold separately. No adapters are required. The frame of the stroller can be expanded in seconds by adding another seat. This is made without the need of tools or extra components. It can also be set up in a variety of ways across the USA to accommodate infants and toddlers at different heights. The second seat could be used to cradle baby at a comfortable angle when in infant mode, or for older kids in stroller mode, with three reclining positions as well as an adjustable footrest that can be adjusted to five positions.
The large, oversized basket as well as the front-facing and back-accessible seat pocket increase the value of this stroller. Moreover, tandem double stroller , contoured seat ensures maximum comfort for the passengers. An extendable canopy protects children from the sun's rays, and the peek-aboo window lets parents to keep an eye on their children.
The addition of the Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or can be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder can hold a variety of drinks and the stroller is easily foldable with the toddler seat connected, making it simple to access storage space.
The majority of reviewers like the ease with which Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate a second seat. Some have pointed out that it can be difficult to connect an infant car seat on the integrated mounts, whereas attaching the second toddler seat is simpler and faster. Evenflo does offer the option of video chat for customers to ask questions and receive assistance with fitting car seats, which is a nice feature. The only downside for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an ideal stroller for siblings of similar ages. It is easy-to-assemble straight from the box and, unlike other sit-and stand alternatives, it is light at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in multiple positions to allow your infant or toddler to sleep and even have a footrest for older kids who need it. The cushioned handle bar is an ideal position for older children to grip when standing, even while wearing gloves. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as the reason it is safer than most of its competitors.
This stroller also comes with a cushioned seat that will accommodate a child up to about two years older. This lets you keep the infant rear-facing for longer. This is a major benefit for parents following the #TurnAfter2 campaign, which encourages children and babies to be rear-facing until they reach two years old. The seat is easy to buckle and comes with the same great five-point harness that is found on the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another benefit: it is able to accept the Chicco KeyFit car seat or Fit2 in the front. It is easy to connect your infant's carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it into. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers you can find. It also allows you to avoid wasting money by buying a stroller that is only used once and will end in your garage or donated to a second-hand store.
The only real drawback to this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders, and the storage space is somewhat limited. It's a great choice for families with a child who walks the entire stroll and a child in a car seat on the front. It's also a great option for traveling as it will easily fold into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked a plane or stow away in your trunk.
