Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might require a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can accommodate 23 different car seat models.
The car also has an ample storage basket, cup holders for parents, and reversible seats with the best legroom in its class. It has 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 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 for storage or transport. It is one of our most maneuverable strollers and has a good side-by-side design. It isn't very good in our jog tests and has trouble with higher curbs. The swivel wheels at the front don't seem to be able to catch obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to install and work with all major brands. However, the stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat at a time, so parents of twins must consider a different option if they want to use their infant car seats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double as well as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have excellent scores for their capacity to fit two infant car seats simultaneously.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and comes with a nice basket but it falls short on our ride comfort measurement. The stroller does not have shocks that absorb road bumps and vibrations which could be challenging for infants. The absence of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump in the road. It might not be a problem when passengers age however it is important to think about when your children are still infants or toddlers.
It's a relatively light frame stroller that weighs less than 40 pounds. It's heavy with cargo and passengers. It's difficult to jog with no jog lock and it was a bit difficult navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging and is lighter at just 41 pounds. It is a bit challenging to lift and carry, but it comes with a handle specifically designed for this purpose. Jog strollers benefit from having bigger wheels that provide greater off-road performance. They also have a more sturdy chassis and are made of durable materials that are able to endure 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 both canopies, and a parent cupholder. It also has a number of new features, including the height-adjustable handles as well as a quilted seat. It has seven different configurations of seating, including the difficult to find double-rear-facing seat. This lets kids 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, giving families a variety of options and prevents them from being locked into a single brand when it is about strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite works with Graco and Britax infant car seats using an adapter that is universal, and it also accepts the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It also has an additional adapter in case you have twins, or need to use two infant car seats.
It is not a side-by-side stroller so it feels like a single stroller. It can be used in many aisles and doors. It's not as maneuverable as a jogging stroller but it's still a great choice 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 comfortable for kids and there's a decent storage basket. The canopy is huge as well, and it can be removed for 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 and safety harness. It also comes with five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels can be locked for extra stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It folds down with an easy process, and it stands when folded. It's not folded with just one hand, like some of the top strollers on this list however, it's not difficult after a bit of practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly option that grows with your family, providing car seat compatibility and reversible seating an elegant, modern stroller frame. This stroller has easy-to-use everyday features and a convenient, one-handed fold, with a self-stand, which is impressive for a lower-priced model. It has a firmer feel than the other models, and has smaller wheels, which makes it difficult to push off-road in tight turns or through narrow doorways.
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 extended in a matter of seconds by adding an additional seat. This is made without the need of tools or extra parts. It can also be set up in 23 different ways across the USA, to fit toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used to hold baby at a comfortable angle when in infant mode or, for older children, in stroller mode with three reclining positions as well as a 5-position adjustable footrest.
A large, huge storage basket and back- and front-facing seat pockets enhance this stroller's utility, while the cushioned, contoured seat provides the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from sun and the window that lets parents peek in to keep an eye on them.
By adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride in tandem, or be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder holds various sizes of beverages, and the stroller folds with a toddler seat attached for easy access to storage space.
A majority of reviewers are pleased with how easily the Pivot Xpand stroller can be extended to include the second seat. Some reviewers have noted that attaching an infant car seat to the mounts integrated in the stroller can be difficult, but attaching a second toddler's seat is much more simple and quick. Evenflo offers a video chat feature for customers to ask any questions or receive assistance with mounting car seats. The only other major drawback for this stroller is its relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a ideal stroller for children who are close in age. It is simple to put together straight from the box and, unlike other sit-and stand options it is relatively light at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in a variety of positions so that your baby or toddler can lie down. There is also a footrest for older children who require it. The padded handle bar is in a good position for older children to grip while standing, even if wearing gloves. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as the reason it is more secure than many of its competitors.
This stroller has a padded back seat that can hold the child up to two years old. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing for longer. This is a major advantage for parents following the #TurnAfter2 initiative, which encourages babies and children to be rear-facing until they reach two years old. This seat is easy to buckle, and it has the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another benefit: it can be used with Chicco KeyFit car seats or Fit2 in the front. You simply push down the front seat, slide in your infant carrier, and listen for the click that indicates it is safe. This alone makes it one of the most adaptable double strollers out there and will help you avoid wasting money on a stroller that is only used once that will get lost in your garage or given to your local secondhand store.
The only drawback to this stroller is that it does not come with a parent tray or cup holders and the storage space is limited. It is an excellent choice for families with just one child who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll, and a younger sibling in a car seat up the front. It is also a great choice for traveling, as it can easily be folded into a smaller size to be gate-checked into an airplane or tucked away in your trunk.
