Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples may require a double stroller that can hold two infant car seats at the same time. 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, cup holders for parents 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 fits the majority of infant car seats. It has a large basket for storage as well as a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds up easily for storage or transport. It is one of our easiest strollers to maneuver and has a nice side-by-side design. It's not very effective in our jog test, and has trouble with higher curbs. The swivel front wheels have trouble with catching on obstacles.
This stroller works with most major brands of infant car seats, and adapters are simple to install. The stroller only accepts one infant car seat at a time so parents of twins must 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-rated options that work with two infant car seats simultaneously.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a nice basket, it falls short of our ride comfort measure. The stroller does not have shocks that absorb road bumps and vibrations, which can be difficult for children to ride. The lack of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump in the road. This may not be an issue as the passengers age, but it's something to consider if your kids are toddlers or infants.
This frame stroller weighs under 40 pounds. It is heavy with cargo and passengers. The absence of the lock for jogging makes it difficult to jog and it struggled in navigating gravel, grass and sidewalks in our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging and lighter at 41 lbs. It is still difficult to lift and carry, but it has a designated handle for this purpose. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that offer more performance off-road. They have a more robust chassis and are made from sturdy 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 appreciate: reversible seats one-hand reclining, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on the canopy and a cupholder for the parent. Plus, it has some amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle as well as quilted seats. It also comes with seven different seating options that include the difficult-to-find double rear-facing position, which allows kids to look at each their friends while watching dad and mom.
The stroller's compatibility to multiple infant car seats is among its best features. It provides families with more choices and prevents them from being confined to a single brand of stroller that works with the baby car seat. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats by using an adapter universal to all brands that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It comes with an additional adapter for when you have twins, or need to use two infant car seat.
It's not a stroller that is side-by-side It has the look of a single stroller and can be used in most aisles and doors without difficulty. While it's not as maneuverable as a jogging-style stroller, it's still a great option for road trips or shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers but not too heavy to lift.
The seats are comfy for children and the storage bin is of a decent size. The canopy is huge as well, and can be removed for some sun protection. It does not have much storage space for parents' needs, which could be a problem for some families.
This stroller has an electronic foot brake, a safety harness and a five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It folds down with ease and can be repositioned when folded. While it's not a one-hand fold like others of the top strollers on this list it's not too difficult to accomplish with a bit of practice, and the process is faster than other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly option that grows with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating a sleek, modern stroller frame. This stroller is easy to operate and features an easy fold that can be used to create a self-stand. It's a good value given its price. It has a more substantial feel than the competition, and smaller wheels which make it difficult to push off-road when turning in tight corners or through narrow doors.
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 a matter of seconds by adding an additional seat. This is made without the need of 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 to hold baby at a comfortable angle in infant mode, or for older kids in stroller mode. It comes with three reclining positions and an adjustable footrest that can be adjusted to five positions.
The large, spacious basket and the back-and-front-accessible seat pocket add to the utility of this stroller, while a padded, contoured, seat ensures the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from sun and a peek-a-boo window allows parents to monitor their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or can be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A cup holder that flex-holds can hold various sizes of beverages and the stroller folds with an attached toddler seat for 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 a second seat. Some reviewers have commented that attaching an infant car seat to the integrated mounts could be difficult, but attaching the second toddler's car seat is much more simple and quick. Evenflo does have an option to video chat with customers to ask questions and receive help with installing car seats, which is a nice touch. The only other major drawback for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller that is ideal for siblings with similar age. It's easy to assemble right out of the box and, unlike other sit-and stand alternatives, it weighs at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in a variety of positions so that your baby or toddler can rest. There is also a footrest for older children who require it. The padded handlebar is placed so that older children can grip it while standing, even if they are wearing mittens. Many parents have said that this feature alone makes it safer than the vast majority of its rivals.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can hold the child up to 2 years. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing longer and is a huge win for parents who follow the #TurnAfter2 movement, which encourages toddlers and infants to keep their rears facing until at least two years old. The seat is simple to buckle, and it comes with the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
double stroller with bassinet Pushchairs And Prams for the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with an Chicco KeyFit and Fit2 car seat on the front. It is simple to secure your infant 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 helps to avoid purchasing a stroller that's only used once and ends up in your garage or donated to a second-hand shop.
The only real drawback to this stroller is that it doesn't come with a parent tray or cup holders, and the storage space is limited. But, it's an excellent choice for families with just one child who will be walking for the entire duration of their stroll with a younger sibling in a car seat up the front. It's also a great choice to travel with, since it can easily be folded into a compact size that can be gate-checked onto the plane or put in your trunk.
