Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples may require a double stroller that is able to hold two car seats for infants at once. The TwinRoo+ is a tough frame stroller that fits 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters sold separately).
The car also has an enormous storage basket and cup holders for parents and convertible seats that offer the best 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 an excellent stroller that fits most infant car seats. It has a large basket for storage and an adult tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds up easily for storage or transport. It's among the most user-friendly strollers and is very maneuverable for a side-by-side model. It doesn't do well in our jog test and struggles on higher curbs. The swivel wheels on front aren't able to grip obstacles.
This stroller can be used with all major brands of infant car seats, and adapters are easy to install. The stroller is only able to accommodate one car seat at a time, so parents with twins will need to find another option to use their infant carseats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top scoring options that can be used with 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 lacks shocks that can absorb road vibrations and bumps which could be challenging for children to ride. The lack of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump in the road. This might not be an issue when the passengers age, but it's something to think about if your children are toddlers or infants.
This is a fairly light frame stroller at under 40lbs. However, it is heavy when loaded with passengers and cargo. It is difficult to jog without a jog lock and it was a bit difficult traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter choice for jogging and weighs in at 41 lbs. It is difficult to carry and lift, but it has a designated handle for this purpose. The jog-strollers have larger wheels that offer more performance off-road. They have a more robust chassis and are made of durable materials that can withstand long-term use.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 has all the features that parents are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand reclining, adjustable legs rests, zippered extensions to both canopies and a parent cupholder. It also comes with some fantastic new features, like the height-adjustable handles as well as a quilted seats. It also has seven seating options and the difficult-to-find double rear facing position, allowing children to be able to see each one another while keeping an eye on mom and dad.
One of the best things about this stroller is that it's compatible with multiple infant car seat brands, giving families a wide range of options and prevents them from being locked into a single brand when it comes to strollers that work with 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 car seats. It has a second adapter if you have twins, or need to use two infant car seats.
It is not a side-by-side stroller so it feels like one stroller. It is able to be used in a variety of aisles and doorways. Although it's not as maneuverable as a jogging stroller, it's still a great option for road trips and shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but it's not too heavy to be lifted.
The seats are fairly comfortable for children and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is big as well, and it can be removed to provide a bit more sun protection. However, it does not provide ample storage space for the necessities of parents that some families might find to be inconvenient.
The stroller comes with a foot brake, a safety harness and five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels are lockable to provide extra stability and the ergonomic handles give an ergonomic grip. It folds up with a simple process, and it stands when folded. It's not folded with just one hand, like some of the other top strollers in this list, but it's still easy to fold after a little practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a budget-friendly, stylish and contemporary stroller that can expand with your family. It comes with car seat compatibility, reversible seating, and a stylish frame. It is simple to use and features an easy fold that permits a self-stand. It's a good value given its price. However, it has an a bit more substantial feel than the majority of other models and smaller wheels that struggle when pushing off-road or through tight corners and narrow doorways.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) and no adapters are needed. The frame of the stroller can be extended in seconds by adding an additional seat. This is made without the need of tools or other 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 hold baby in a comfortable position in infant mode, or for older kids, in stroller mode with three reclining positions as well as a 5-position adjustable footrest.
A large, oversized storage basket and back- and front-accessible seat pockets increase this stroller's utility and the cushioned, contoured seat provides maximum comfort for passengers. A canopy that can be extended keeps children shielded from the sun's rays, and the peek-aboo window lets parents to monitor their little ones.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be used to create a tandem, so that siblings can share a ride or as an alternative for the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder holds a variety of beverage sizes, and the stroller can fold with the toddler seat to allow easy access to storage space.
The majority of reviewers are pleased with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to include the second seat. A few have noted that it's difficult to attach an infant car seat to the included mounts, while attaching the second toddler seat is easier and faster. Evenflo provides a video chat feature that allows customers to ask questions or receive assistance with attaching car seats. The only downside for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are in the same age group. It's easy to put together straight out of the box. And unlike other sit-and-stand strollers, it is relatively lightweight at just 23 pounds. The seats recline in a variety of positions so that your baby or toddler can nap. There is also a footrest for older children who need it. The padded handlebar is placed so that older children can grasp it while standing, even when wearing mittens. This feature has been cited by many parents as a reason for why it is safer than most of its competitors.
This stroller also comes with an upholstered seat in the back that can accommodate children up to about two years old. This allows you to keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a major advantage for parents following the #TurnAfter2 campaign, which encourages babies and children to be rear-facing until they reach the age of two years of age. The seat is easy to buckle and features the same five-point harness as the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with the Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on 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 stroller s you can find. It also allows you to avoid purchasing a stroller which is only used once and ends up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand store.
This stroller is the only one with a major flaw It doesn't include cup holders or a tray for parents. The storage space is also restricted. It is an excellent option for families with just one child who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll with a younger sibling in a car seat up front. It's also a great option for travel because it will easily fold into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked an airplane or put away in your trunk.
