Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is a tough frame stroller that can accommodate 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 fantastic stroller that fits the majority of infant car seats. It has large storage baskets and a parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds up easily to store or travel. It's one of the easiest strollers to use and is very maneuverable for a side-by-side design. It's not very effective in our jog test, and has trouble with higher curbs. The swivel wheels at the front have trouble catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to put in and work with the majority of major brands. The stroller can only fit one car seat at a given time, so parents with twins must find another option to use their infant carseats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have impressive scores for their ability to hold two infant car seats at the same time.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and has a nice basket, however, it falls short of our ride comfort metric. The stroller does not have shocks to withstand the bumps and vibrations of the road, which can be difficult on small passengers. Also the lack of a seat recline means children will feel every bump on the road. It might not be a problem when passengers get older however it is important to think about when your children are still infants or toddlers.
This is a fairly light frame stroller at under 40 lbs. It is heavy with cargo and passengers. It's difficult to jog without a jog lock and it was a bit difficult navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter option for jogging, coming 41 pounds. 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 superior performance off-road. 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 includes the features parents appreciate: reversible seating one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests and zippered extensions on both canopies. It also comes with a cup holder for parents. In addition, it comes with new great features like the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It also has seven different seating options, including the hard-to-find double rear facing position that allows children to be able to see each their friends while watching dad and mom.
The stroller's compatibility with a variety of infant car seats is one of its best features. It provides families with more options and keeps them from being confined to a single brand of stroller that works 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 even has an additional adapter to accommodate those who have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It is not a side-by-side stroller, so it's more like one stroller. It can be used in many aisles and doorways. Although it's not as maneuverable like 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 carry.
The seats are comfy for children and the storage basket is a good size. The canopy is also big and can be opened for more sun protection. It doesn't have enough storage space for parents' necessities, which may be a problem for certain families.
double travel buggy comes with the foot brake as well as a safety harness. It also has five-point harnesses for every child. The front wheels can be locked for added security and the handles are ergonomically designed. It's easy to fold and can stand up when folded. While it's not a 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 the process is quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly favorite that will grow with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating within an elegant modern stroller frame. This stroller is easy to use everyday features as well as a simple, one-handed fold, with a self-stand, which is remarkable for a less expensive model. It does have a slightly heftier feel than much of the competitors 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) No adapters are needed. Adding a second seat expands the stroller frame in minutes without tools or other parts, and it is available in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate infant and toddler seating at different heights in both parent-facing or forward-facing settings. The second seat could be used to hold baby in a comfortable position 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.
A large, huge storage basket, as well as back and front-accessible seat pockets add to the stroller's functionality, while the padded, contoured seat offers maximum comfort for passengers. An extendable canopy protects children from the sun's rays, while the peek-aboo window lets parents to keep an eye on their little ones.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride together, or can be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder holds a variety of beverage sizes and the stroller folds with the toddler seat to allow easy access to storage space.
The majority of reviewers are impressed with how easily the Pivot Xpand stroller can be extended to include a second seat. Some have pointed out that it is difficult to attach an infant car seat onto the mounts that are integrated, but attaching the second toddler seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo does have a video chat option for customers to ask questions and receive help with installing car seats it is a nice feature. The only downside is the relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller that is ideal for siblings with similar age. It is easy-to-assemble straight out of the package and, unlike other sit-and stand options it is relatively light at under 23 pounds. The seats are able to recline in different positions to allow your baby or toddler to rest and even have a footrest for older kids who require it. The padded handlebar is positioned in a manner that allows older children can grasp it even if they're wearing mittens. This feature has been cited by many parents as the reason why it is more secure than many of its rivals.
The stroller is padded with a back seat that can accommodate a child of up to 2 years. This lets you keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a great win for parents who are following the #TurnAfter2 initiative, which encourages children and babies to be rear-facing until they reach the age of two years of age. This seat is simple to buckle and features the same five-point harness found on the front seat.
Another benefit of the Bravo For 2 is that it will accept the Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on the front. You simply push down the front seat, slide in your infant carrier and listen for the sound that indicates it's safe. This makes it one of the most versatile double strollers you can find. It also allows you to avoid buying a stroller that is only used once and ends up up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand shop.
The only issue with this stroller is that it does not come with a tray for parents or cup holders, and storage space is somewhat restricted. It is an excellent option for families with one kiddo who will be walking for the duration of their stroll with an older sibling in a car seat in front. It's also a great choice for traveling, as it is able to fold into a compact size to be gate-checked into the plane or put in your trunk.
