Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples will want a double stroller that is able to hold two infant car seats at once. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can accommodate 23 different car seat models.
It also comes with a massive storage basket, parent cup holders and reversible seating that offers 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 great stroller that will fit the majority of infant car seat carriers. It has a large basket for storage, as well as a tray for parents with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or travel. It is one of our most maneuverable strollers and has a nice side-by-side design. It's not very effective in our jog test and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The swivel wheels at the front have trouble catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to put in and work with most major brands. The stroller only accepts one infant car seat carrier at a time, so parents of twins will have to look for another option if they want to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top-rated options that can be used with two infant car seats simultaneously.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and has a nice basket, but it falls short on our ride comfort measurement. The stroller does not have shocks to absorb the vibrations and bumps of the road. This can be a challenge for small passengers. The lack of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump in the road. This may not be a problem when passengers age but it is something to take into consideration when your children are still infants or toddlers.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 pounds. It is heavy with cargo and passengers. It is difficult to jog without a jog lock, and it had difficulty in navigating gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better option for jogging and is lighter at just 41 pounds. It can still be difficult to lift and carry, but it comes with a handle specifically designed for this purpose. The jog strollers have the advantage of having larger wheels to provide greater off-road performance. They have a better-built chassis and are constructed from robust materials that can stand up to long-term usage.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 comes with all the features parents love: reversible seats, one-hand reclining, adjustable legs rests, zippered extensions on both canopies and a parent cupholder. Plus, it has some amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It has seven different configurations of seating, including the difficult to find double-rear-facing position. This lets kids be able to see each other while watching their parents.
One of the great things about this stroller is that it's compatible with multiple infant car seat brands, which gives families a wide range of options and prevents them from being locked into one brand when it is about 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 an additional adapter in case you have twins or need to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side by side stroller, which makes it feel like a single stroller. It is able to be used in a variety of doorways and aisles. Although it's not as maneuverable like a jogging-style stroller it's still a great option for road trips and shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but not too heavy to lift.
The seats are fairly comfortable for children and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is also spacious and can be unzipped to give more sun protection. However, it does not have a large storage space for parent necessities and some families may find to be inconvenient.
The stroller comes with the foot brake as well as a safety harness. It also comes with a five-point harness for each child. The front wheels are lockable for added stability, and the ergonomic handles offer the user with a comfortable grip. It folds up in an easy process, and it stands when folded. While it doesn't have a one-hand fold, like others of the top strollers on this list, it's not too difficult to master with a bit of practice, and the process is quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a stylish, budget-friendly and contemporary stroller that can expand with your family. It offers car seat compatibility, reversible seats, and a sleek frame. This stroller is easy to use and features a single-handed fold that can be used to create self-standing. It's a great value given its price. It does have a slightly heftier feel than much of the competition and smaller wheels that have difficulty 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) No adapters are needed. The frame of the stroller can be extended in a matter of seconds by adding a second seat. This is accomplished without the need for tools or additional components. It can also be configured in 23 different ways across the USA to accommodate toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to accommodate older children or to hold the baby in an angle that is comfortable for infant mode.
The large, oversized basket and the back-and-front-accessible pocket enhance the functionality of this stroller. Moreover, the padded, contoured seat offers the most comfortable ride for the passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from sun and the window that lets parents peek in to monitor their children.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be added to create a tandem, so that siblings can share a ride or as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A cup holder that flex-holds can hold a variety of beverage sizes, and the stroller can be folded with an attached toddler seat for easy access to storage space.
The majority of reviewers like how easily the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate an additional seat. Some have mentioned that it's difficult to attach an infant car seat to the integrated mounts, whereas attaching the second toddler seat is simpler and quicker. Evenflo does have a video chat option for customers to ask questions and get help with installing car seats, which is a nice feature.
double pushchair for this stroller is its relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller that is ideal for siblings of similar age. It is simple to put together straight out of the box and, unlike other sit-and-stand alternatives, it is light at under 23 pounds. The seats can recline in various positions so that your infant or toddler can rest. There is also a footrest for older children who require it. The padding on the handle bar is in the ideal position for older children to grasp while standing, even if wearing gloves. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as a reason for why it is safer than most of its rivals.
The stroller also features a cushioned seat that will accommodate a child up to about two years old. This allows you to keep the infant rear-facing for longer. This is a huge win for parents who are following the #TurnAfter2 campaign, which encourages children and babies to remain rear facing until they reach the age of two years of age. This seat is simple to buckle and features the same five-point harness that is found on the front seat.
Another benefit of the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on the front. You can easily secure your infant carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it into. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers on the market. It also helps you to avoid purchasing a stroller which is only used a few times 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 come with a parent tray or cup holders, and the storage space is a bit restricted. It is an excellent option for families with one kiddo who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll with a younger sibling in a car seat in front. It is also a great option for travel, as it is able to fold into a compact size that can be gate-checked onto a plane or stored in your trunk.
