Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples may require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can fit 23 different car seat models.
It also has a large 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 will fit most infant car seat carriers. It has an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily to store or take on trips. It's among our easiest strollers to maneuver and has a good side-by-side design. It isn't very good in our jog test and struggles on higher curbs. The swivel wheels on the front have trouble catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are simple to install and work with most major brands. The stroller is only able to accommodate one infant car seat at a given time and parents with twins will have to find another option to use their infant car seats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have high scores for their ability to fit two infant car seats at once.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and has a nice basket, however, it isn't quite up to our ride comfort measurement. The stroller does not have shocks that absorb road bumps and vibrations which can be a challenge for little passengers. The absence of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump that comes along the road. This may not be an issue when the passengers age, but it's a crucial thing to consider if your children are infants or young toddlers.
It's a relatively light frame stroller that weighs less than 40 lbs. It's heavy with passengers and cargo. It is difficult to jog without a jog-lock and it was a bit difficult in navigating gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter alternative for jogging, coming 41 pounds. It can still be difficult to lift and carry, but it comes with a handle specifically designed for this purpose. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that offer better performance off-road. They have a better-built chassis and are constructed from durable materials that can withstand long-term use.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 includes the features parents love: reversible seating, one-hand recline with adjustable leg rests, and zippered extensions for both canopy.
Get the facts includes a parent cupholder. It also has some great new features, like the height-adjustable handles and quilted seats. It offers seven different configurations of seating, including the difficult-to-find double-rear-facing configuration. This allows children to look at each other while keeping an eye on their parents.
One of the most appealing aspects about this stroller is that it's compatible with multiple infant car seat brands, giving families a range of options and prevents them from being confined to one brand when it is about strollers that work with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats with an adapter that is universal that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It has a second adapter if you have twins, or need to use two infant car seat.
It's not a side-by-side stroller so it feels like one stroller. It is able to be used in a variety of aisles and doors. 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 carry.
The seats are fairly comfortable for kids, and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is large as well, and it can be removed to provide a bit more sun protection. However, it doesn't contain a huge storage space for the necessities of parents and some families may find to be inconvenient.
This stroller has the foot brake, a safety harness and five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added security and the handles are ergonomically designed. It's easy to fold and stands up when folded. While it's not a one-hand fold like others of the top strollers, it's not too difficult to do with a little practice and it's quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly favorite that can grow with your family, offering car seat compatibility and reversible seating in a sleek modern stroller frame. This stroller is easy to use everyday features as well as a simple, one-handed fold that self-stands which is impressive for a model that is priced lower. However, it has a slightly heftier feel than a lot of the competition 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 needed. The frame of the stroller can be extended in seconds by adding a second seat. This is made without the need of tools or additional components. It can also be configured in a variety of ways across the USA to fit toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat could be used to secure baby at a comfortable angle when in infant mode, or for older kids in stroller mode. It comes with three reclining positions as well as an adjustable footrest that can be adjusted to five positions.
The large, oversized basket and the back-and-front-accessible pocket add to the utility of this stroller. Moreover, a padded, contoured, seat provides the most comfortable ride for the passengers. A retractable canopy shields children from the sun's rays and the window that lets parents peek in to monitor their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. A cup holder that flex-holds can hold different sizes of drinks, and the stroller folds with an attached toddler seat for easy access to storage space.
Many reviewers are impressed with the ease with which Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate the second seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that the attachment of an infant car seat to the integrated mounts could be difficult, but attaching the second toddler's seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo does have an option to video chat with customers to ask questions and get assistance with fitting car seats that is a nice addition. The only other significant drawback for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a excellent stroller for children with siblings who are in the same age group. It's easy to put together straight out of the box. And unlike many sit-and stand options, it is relatively lightweight at under 23 pounds. The seats recline in different positions so that your baby or toddler can nap. There is also a footrest for older children who need it. The padding on the handle bar is in a good position for older children to grip while standing, even if wearing mittens. This feature has been cited by many parents as a reason for why it is more secure than many of its competitors.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can fit the child up to two years. This lets you keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a major advantage for parents following the #TurnAfter2 campaign, which encourages children and babies to be rear-facing until they reach the age of two years of age. The seat is simple to buckle and has the same five-point harness as the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it can accept the Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat in the front. Simply push down the front seat, slide in your infant carrier and listen for the click that indicates it's safe. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers you can find. It also helps you to avoid wasting money by purchasing a stroller which is only used once and ends up up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand shop.
The only real drawback to this stroller is that it does not come with a parent tray or cup holders, and the storage space is restricted. It's a great option 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 choice for travel, as it folds easily into a compact size that can be gate-checked onto a plane or stored in your trunk.
