Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins and other multiples will want 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 are sold separately).
It also features a huge 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 fits most infant car seat carriers. It has an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily to store or transport. It's among the easiest strollers to use and is a good choice for a side-byside design. It doesn't do well in our jog tests and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The swivel front wheels struggle to stay on obstacles.
This stroller works with most major brands of infant car seats and adapters are easy to install. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat carrier at a time. Parents of twins will need to consider a different option if they want to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top choices that can be used with 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 doesn't have shocks to withstand the vibrations and bumps of the road. This can be hard on little passengers. Also the lack of a seat recline means children will feel every bump on the road. This may not be an issue when the passengers get older, but it's something to think about if your children are infants or young toddlers.
It is a lightweight frame stroller, weighing less than 40 lbs. It is however heavy when packed with cargo and passengers. It's hard to jog without a jog-lock and it had trouble in navigating gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging, and it weighs less at 41 lbs. It is difficult to lift and carry, but it has a designated handle to help you do this. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that provide superior performance off-road. They also have a stronger 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 comes with features that parents love: reversible seating, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests and zippered extensions on both canopies. It also has a cup holder for parents. Additionally, it comes with amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It has seven different configurations of seating, including the hard-to-find double-rear-facing seat. This allows kids to be able to see each other while watching their parents.
This stroller's compatibility with multiple infant car seats is one of its greatest features. It provides families with more options and prevents them from being confined to a single brand of stroller that is compatible with the baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats as well as Britax double car seats. It also supports the UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It has an additional adapter in case you have twins or want to use two infant car seat.
It is not a side by side stroller, which makes it feel like one stroller. It can be used in numerous doorways and aisles. While it's not as maneuverable as a jogging-style stroller, it's a great choice for shopping or road trip excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but not too heavy to lift.
The seats are comfortable for children and the storage basket is of a decent size. The canopy is also spacious and can be unzipped to provide more sun protection. It doesn't have enough storage space for the parent's necessities, which may be a concern for some families.
pushchairs double comes with a foot brake as well as a safety harness. a 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 doesn't have a one-hand fold, like some of the other top strollers on this list, it's not difficult to do with a little practice, and the process is quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly model that can grow with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating within a sleek modern stroller frame. This stroller is easy to use and has a single-handed fold that permits self-standing. It's a great deal given its price. It has a heavier feel than most of the other models, and has smaller wheels that make it difficult to push off the road, in tight turns or through doorways that are narrow.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) - no adapters needed. The frame of the stroller can be expanded in seconds by adding another seat. This is accomplished without the need for tools or extra parts. 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 secure baby in a comfortable position in infant mode or for older children, in stroller mode with three reclining positions as well as an adjustable footrest that can be adjusted to five positions.
The huge, large basket as well as the front-facing and back-accessible seat pocket increase the value of this stroller, while the cushioned, contoured seat offers maximum comfort for the passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from sun and a peek-a-boo window allows parents to keep an eye on them.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be added to create a tandem, so that siblings can ride together, or as an alternative for the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can accommodate a variety of drinks, and the stroller is easily foldable with the toddler seat attached to make it easy to access storage space.
Most reviewers are impressed by how easily the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. Some have mentioned that it can be difficult to attach an infant car seat on the included mounts, while attaching the second toddler seat is easier and faster. Evenflo does offer 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 relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are similar in age. It's easy to assemble right out of the box and, unlike other sit-and stand alternatives, it weighs at just 23 pounds. The seats recline in multiple positions to allow your infant or toddler to sleep and even have an extra footrest for older children who require it. The cushioned handle bar is an ideal position for older children to grip when standing, even while wearing mittens. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as the reason it is more secure than the majority of its competitors.
The stroller is padded with a back seat that can hold a child of up to two years old. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing for longer and is a major advantage for parents who adhere to the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages toddlers and babies to keep their rears facing until at least two years old. The seat is simple to buckle and has the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another benefit: it is able to accept a Chicco KeyFit car seat or Fit2 in the front. Simply push down the front seat, snap in your infant carrier and listen for the sound that indicates it is 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 that's only used once and ends 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 storage space is a bit limited. But, it's an excellent choice for families with a single child who will be walking for the entire duration of their stroll, and younger siblings in a car seat up the front. It is also a great option to travel with, since it is able to fold into a compact size that can be gate-checked on an airplane or tucked away in your trunk.
