Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples may require a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is a tough frame stroller that can accommodate 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters are sold separately).
It also features a huge storage basket, cup holders for parents and reversible seating with the best 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 fits most infant car seats. It comes with a large basket for storage and a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds easily for storage or take on trips. It's among our strollers that is easy to maneuver and has a good side-by-side design. It doesn't do well in our jog tests and struggles on higher curbs. The front wheels that swivel struggle to stay on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are simple to install and compatible with all major brands. The stroller only accepts one infant car seat at a time so parents of twins will need to look for another option if they wish to use their infant car seats together. The UPPAbaby vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have excellent scores for their capacity to hold two infant car seats simultaneously.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a spacious basket, it falls short of our ride comfort metric. The stroller does not have shocks that can absorb road vibrations and bumps, which can be difficult for infants. The lack of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump in the road. It may not be an issue as passengers get older however it is important to think about when your children are still infants or toddlers.
This frame stroller weighs just under 40 pounds. It is however heavy when packed with cargo and passengers. The absence of an lock for jogging makes it difficult to jog and it struggled with navigating through gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better option for jogging, and it weighs less at 41 lbs. It's not perfect, but it's difficult to lift, but there is a handle that could be used to accomplish this. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that offer more performance off-road. They also have a stronger chassis and are constructed of durable materials that are able to be used for a long time.
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 to both canopies, and a cupholder for the parent. It also has some great new features, like the height-adjustable handles as well as a quilted seat. It comes with seven different types of seating, including the hard-to-find double-rear-facing position. This allows kids to see eachother while watching their parents.
One of the great things about this stroller is that it is compatible with a variety of infant car seat brands, which gives families a wide range of choices and keeps them from being locked into one brand when it is about strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats by using a universal adapter, and it also accepts the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It even has a second adapter for those who have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side-by-side stroller, which makes it feel like one stroller. It can be used in many doorways and aisles. Although it's not as maneuverable as a jogging-style stroller, it's a great choice for road trips or shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but not too heavy to lift.
The seats are comfy for kids, and the storage basket is large enough. The canopy is big, too, and can be removed to provide some sun protection. However, it does not provide ample storage space for parent necessities that some families might find to be inconvenient.
This stroller has an electronic foot brake, a safety harness and five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels can be locked for extra stability and the ergonomic handles give the user with a comfortable grip. It's easy to fold and can stand up when folded. It's not folded with just one hand, like other strollers in this list, but it's still easy to fold after a bit of practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a budget-friendly, stylish and modern stroller that can expand with your family. It has car seat compatibility, reversible seats and a sleek frame. It comes with easy-to-use daily features and a convenient, one-handed fold with a self-stand which is impressive for a model that is priced lower. It has a firmer feel than the other models, and has smaller wheels that make it difficult to push off-road in tight turns, or through narrow doors.
This stroller is compatible with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) and no adapters are required. Adding a second seat expands the stroller frame in seconds without tools or extra parts, and it is available in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seating at different heights in both parent-facing or forward-facing modes. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to accommodate older children or to hold the baby in an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
A large, huge storage basket as well as back- and front-facing seat pockets enhance the stroller's functionality and the padded, contoured seat offers maximum comfort for passengers. A canopy that can be extended keeps children shielded from the sun, and an open window allows parents to keep an eye on their little ones.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride together, or can be utilized as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder can hold a variety sizes of drinks and the stroller can be foldable with the toddler seat attached to make it easy to access storage space.
The majority of reviewers are impressed with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. tandem double stroller have mentioned that it is a bit difficult to attach an infant car seat onto the integrated mounts, whereas attaching the second toddler seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo has a video chat option for customers to ask questions or get assistance with fitting car seats it is a nice touch. The only downside is the short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a excellent stroller for children with siblings who are similar in age. It's easy to put together right out of the box. And unlike other sit-and-stand strollers it is surprisingly light at under 23 pounds. The seats can recline in various places so that your baby or toddler can lie down. There is also a footrest for older children who need it. The cushioned handle bar is the ideal position for children older than 5 years old to hold while standing, even if wearing mittens. Many parents have reported that this feature alone makes it safer than the majority of its competitors.
This stroller also comes with a padded seat that can accommodate children up to about two years old. This allows you to keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a major win for parents who are following the #TurnAfter2 initiative, which encourages infants and children to be rear-facing until they reach the age of two years of age. The seat is simple to buckle, and it is equipped with the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it can accept a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat in the front. You simply push down the front seat, slide in your infant carrier and listen for the sound that lets you know it is safe. This makes it one of the most versatile double strollers available. It also helps you to avoid buying a stroller that is only used once and will end up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand store.
The only issue with this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders, and the storage space is a bit limited. It is a great option for families with one child who is walking all the way and another in a car seat up front. It's also a great choice for travel as it will easily fold into an incredibly compact size that can be gate-checked an airplane or put away in your trunk.
