Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might need a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats 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 has a large storage basket, parent cup holders and reversible seating with 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 an excellent stroller that is compatible with most infant car seats. It has large storage baskets and a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds up easily to store it or transport it. It is one of the easiest strollers to use and is a good choice for a side-by-side design. It did not perform well in our jog tests, and had difficulty with higher curbs. The swivel front wheels struggle to stay on obstacles.
This stroller can be used with all major brands of infant car seats, and adapters are simple to install. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat at a given time, so parents with twins will have to choose a different option to use their infant carseats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have high scores for their ability to fit 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 lacks shocks that can absorb road vibrations and bumps which can be a challenge for children to ride. Also the lack of a reclined seat means children will feel every bump on the road. It might not be an issue as passengers age, but it is important to think about when your children are infants or toddlers.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 pounds. However, it is heavy when loaded with passengers and cargo. It's hard to jog with no jog lock and it was a bit difficult navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter alternative for jogging and weighs 41 pounds. It can still be difficult to lift and carry but it has a handle specifically made for this purpose. The jog strollers benefit from having larger wheels to provide greater off-road performance. They also have a stronger chassis and are constructed 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 are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand recline with adjustable leg rests, and zippered extensions on both canopies. It also includes a cup holder for parents. Additionally, it comes with exciting new features such as the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It offers seven different configurations of seating, including the hard-to-find double-rear-facing configuration. This allows kids to be able to see each other while watching their parents.
One of the most appealing aspects about this stroller is that it is compatible with a variety of infant car seat brands, giving families a variety of choices and keeps them from being locked into one brand when it comes to strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco and Britax infant car seats by using an adapter that is universal that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It also has an additional adapter to accommodate those who have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side-byside stroller, so it has the look of a single stroller and can be used in most doorways and aisles easily. While it's not as maneuverable as a jogging-style stroller, it's still an excellent option for road trips and shopping excursions. It weighs slightly more than other double strollers, however it's not too heavy for most petite women to carry and maneuver.
The seats are comfy for kids, and the storage basket is large enough. The canopy is also large and can be unzipped for more sun protection. However, it doesn't contain a huge storage space for the necessities of parents and some families may consider to be a hassle.
This stroller has a foot brake, a safety harness and five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It's easy to fold and rises up when folded. While it's not an easy one-hand fold like some of the other top strollers on this list, it's not difficult to accomplish with a bit of practice and it's faster than other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly favorite that can grow with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating within an elegant modern stroller frame. It is simple to use and has a single-handed fold that can be used to create self-standing. It's a great value given its price. It has a heavier feel than the competition, and smaller wheels, which makes it difficult to push off-road, in tight turns, or through narrow doors.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) No adapters are required. By adding a second seat, you can expand the frame of the stroller in just a few seconds without tools or extra components, and it can be used in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seating at different heights, either in parent-facing or forward-facing settings. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to accommodate larger children or to hold the baby at an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
double single pushchair , huge storage basket, as well as back and front-accessible seat pockets increase this stroller's utility and the cushioned, contoured seat provides maximum comfort for passengers. A canopy that can be extended keeps children shielded from the sun's rays, while the peek-aboo window lets parents to monitor their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride in tandem, or be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder can hold a variety of beverages and the stroller is foldable with the toddler seat connected, making it simple to access storage space.
Many reviewers are impressed with how easily the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to include the second seat. Some have pointed out that it can be a bit difficult to attach an infant car seat to the included mounts, while attaching the second toddler seat is much easier and faster. Evenflo provides a video chat feature for customers to ask any questions or receive assistance with mounting car seats. The only other issue is the short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are in the same age group. It is easy to assemble straight out from the box and, unlike many sit-and-stand options it is surprisingly light at less than 23 pounds. The seats can recline in various places so that your baby or toddler can nap. There is also a footrest available for older children who need it. The padded handlebar is positioned so that older children can grip it even if they are wearing mittens. This feature has been cited by many parents as the reason it is safer than most of its rivals.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can fit the child up to 2 years. This lets you keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a huge win for parents who are adhering to the #TurnAfter2 campaign which encourages children and babies to keep their rears facing until they reach two years old. The seat is simple to buckle and is equipped with the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it will accept the Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat in the front. Simply push down on the front seat, snap in your infant carrier, and listen for the sound that indicates it is secure. This feature alone makes it one of the most adaptable double strollers available and helps you avoid wasting money on a single-use stroller that could end up in your garage or donated to a local second-hand store.
This stroller is the only one with a major flaw It doesn't include cup holders or tray for parents. The storage space is also restricted. But, it's an excellent choice for families with just one child who will be walking for the entire duration of their stroll and an older sibling in a car seat up in front. It's also a great option for travel because it can fold up into an incredibly compact size that can be gate-checked an airplane or put away in your trunk.
