Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of 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.
The car also has an ample storage basket as well as cup holders for parents, and reversible seats with the best legroom in its class 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 is compatible with most infant car seats. It comes with a large basket for storage as well as a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds up easily to store or transport. It's one of the most comfortable strollers and has good maneuverability for a side-by-side design. It doesn't do well in our jog tests and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The swivel front wheels aren't able to grip obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are simple to install and compatible with all major brands. However, the stroller only accepts one infant car seat carrier at a time, so parents of twins will have to find a different option if they wish to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have high scores for their ability to hold two infant car seats at the same time.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and comes with a nice basket, it falls short of our ride comfort measure. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks that can absorb road vibrations and bumps which can be a challenge for little passengers. Additionally, the absence of a seat recline means children will feel every bump on the road. This isn't a problem as the passengers get older, but it's something to think about if your children are toddlers or infants.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 lbs. However it feels heavy when loaded with passengers and cargo. It is difficult to jog with no 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's not perfect, but it's difficult to lift, but there is a handle that can be used to accomplish this. Jog strollers have the advantage of having larger wheels to provide greater off-road performance. They have a better-built 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 comes with features that parents love: reversible seating, one-hand recline with adjustable leg rests, and zippered extensions for both canopy. It also comes with a cup holder for parents. It also has a number of new features, such as the height-adjustable handles as well as a quilted seats. It comes with seven different types of seating, including the difficult-to-find double-rear-facing seat. This lets kids look at each other while keeping an eye on their parents.
The stroller's compatibility with a variety of infant car seats is among its most appealing features. It offers families more choices and prevents them from being confined to one model of stroller that works with the baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats by using a universal adapter 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 want to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side by side stroller, which makes it feel like one stroller. It is able to be used in a variety of doorways and aisles. It's not as maneuverable as a jogging stroller but it's still a great choice for shopping and road trip excursions. It weighs a bit heavier than other double strollers but it's not too heavy for petite women to lift and maneuver.
The seats are fairly comfortable for children and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is big as well, and it can be removed to provide a bit more sun protection. It doesn't have enough storage space for the parent's needs, which could be a problem for certain families.
This stroller has a foot brake, a safety harness and five-point harnesses for each child. double pushchair from birth can be locked for added stability, and the handles are ergonomically designed. It's easy to fold and stands up when folded. Although it doesn't feature an easy one-hand fold like some of the other top strollers on this list, it's not too difficult to accomplish with a bit of practice and it's quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a stylish, budget-friendly and modern stroller that will expand with your family. It has car seat compatibility, reversible seating, and a sleek frame. It comes with easy-to-use daily features and a convenient, one-handed fold with a self-stand that is quite impressive for a model that is priced lower. However, it has an unmistakably heavier feel than much of the other models and smaller wheels that have difficulty with pushing off-road, or in tight turns and narrow doors.
This stroller is compatible with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) and no adapters are required. The addition of a second seat can expand the stroller frame in minutes without tools or other components, and it is available in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seats at different heights, either in parent-facing or forward-facing modes. The second seat could be used to hold baby in a comfortable position 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-accessible seat pockets increase this stroller's utility and the cushioned, contoured seat provides the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy shields children from the sun and the window that lets parents peek in to keep an eye on their children.
The addition of the Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride in tandem, or be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can hold a variety of drinks and the stroller is foldable with the toddler seat attached, making it easy to access storage space.
Most reviewers appreciate how easily the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate an additional seat. Some reviewers have noted that attaching an infant car seat to the mounts integrated in the stroller can be a challenge, however attaching a second toddler's seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo does offer a video chat option for customers to ask questions and receive help with installing car seats, which is a nice touch. The only downside for this stroller is its relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller for siblings with similar ages. It is easy-to-assemble straight out of the box and, unlike other sit-and stand options it is relatively light at just 23 pounds. The seats each recline in multiple positions to allow your infant or toddler to sleep and even have a footrest for those who require it. The padded handlebar is positioned in a manner that allows older children can hold it even when wearing gloves. Many parents have shared that this feature alone makes it more secure than the majority of its rivals.
This stroller also has an upholstered seat that can accommodate children from about two years older. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing longer, which is a big advantage for parents who adhere to the #TurnAfter2 movement, which encourages babies and toddlers to remain rear-facing until at least two years old. This seat is easy to buckle, and it has the same five-point harness as the front seat.
Another benefit of the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat in the front. You simply push down the front seat, then snap in your infant carrier, and listen for the sound which indicates that it's secure. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers available. It also helps you to avoid purchasing a stroller which is only used once and will end in your garage or donated to a second-hand store.
This stroller is the only one with a real flaw It doesn't come with cup holders or a tray for parents. The storage space is also limited. It's a great choice for families who have one child who walks the entire stroll and another in a car seat up front. It's also a great choice for travel as it will easily fold into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked the plane or stored in your trunk.
