Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might need 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 sold separately).
The car also comes with an enormous storage basket and cup holders for parents and convertible seats that offer the best legroom in its class. There are 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 will fit most infant car seat carriers. It comes with a large storage basket and parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or take on trips. It's one of our most maneuverable strollers and is a great side-by-side design. It doesn't do well in our jog tests and struggles on higher curbs. The front wheels that swivel have trouble with catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are simple to install and work with the majority of major brands. However, the stroller only accepts one infant car seat at a time so parents of twins will need to look for another option if they wish to use their infant car seats together. The UPPAbaby vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have excellent scores for their capacity 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 measure. 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 in the road. This might not be a problem as the passengers age, but it's an important thing to think about if your children are young toddlers or infants.
It is a light frame stroller that weighs 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 difficulty in navigating gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better option for jogging and is lighter at just 41 pounds. It is still difficult to carry and lift, but it has a handle specifically made to help you do this. Jog strollers have the advantage of having bigger wheels that provide more off-road performance. They have a more robust chassis and are made of durable materials that can withstand long-term usage.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 comes with all the features parents appreciate: reversible seats one-hand reclining, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to the canopy and a parent cupholder. It also has some great new features, including the height-adjustable handles as well as a quilted seats. It comes with seven different types of seating, including the hard-to-find double-rear-facing position. This allows children to be able to see each other while watching their parents.
One of the great things about this stroller is that it's compatible with multiple infant car seat brands, which gives families a variety of options and prevents the stroller from being tied to a single brand when it comes to strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats and Britax double car seats. It also works with UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double seats. It comes with an additional adapter for when you have twins or want to use two infant car seat.
It's not a side-byside stroller and has the feel of a single stroller and can be used in all aisles and doorways with ease. While it's not as movable like a jogging-style stroller it's still an excellent option for road trips and shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double stroller s but it's not too heavy to be lifted.
The seats are quite comfortable for kids and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is also large and can be opened to provide more sun protection. However, it does not have a large storage space for parent necessities and some families may consider to be a hassle.
The stroller comes with the foot brake as well as a safety harness. It also has a five-point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability, and the handles are ergonomically designed. It folds down with ease and can be repositioned when folded. It's not able to fold with just one hand, like other strollers in this list however it's not difficult after a bit of practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly favorite that grows with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating within a stylish, modern stroller frame. The stroller is easy to operate and features an easy fold that can be used to create a self-stand. It's a great value given its price. It has a firmer feel than most of the competitors, and smaller wheels, which makes it difficult to push off-road, when turning in tight corners or through doorways that are narrow.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) and no adapters are needed. By adding a second seat, you can expand the stroller frame in minutes without tools or other parts, and it can be used in a variety of configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seats at different heights, either in parent-facing or forward-facing settings. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to fit larger children or to hold the baby at an angle that is comfortable for infant mode.
The large, oversized basket as well as the front-facing and back-accessible seat pocket add to the utility of this stroller, while a padded, contoured, seat provides maximum comfort for the passengers. A canopy that can be extended keeps children shielded from the sun's rays, while the peek-aboo window lets parents to watch their children.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be used to create a tandem, so that siblings can ride together, or as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can accommodate a variety of drinks and the stroller is folded when the toddler seat is attached to make it easy to access storage space.
Many reviewers are impressed with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to include the second seat. Some reviewers have noted that attaching a car seat for infants to the integrated mounts can be difficult, but attaching the second toddler's car seat is much simpler and faster. Evenflo does offer an option to video chat with customers to ask questions or get assistance in installing car seats that 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 that is ideal for siblings of similar ages. It is easy to assemble straight out of the box and unlike other sit-and-stand strollers it is light at less than 23 pounds. The seats can recline in various positions so that your baby or toddler can rest. There is also a footrest for older children who require it. The padded handlebar can be positioned so that older children can grasp it while standing, even if they're wearing mittens. Many parents have said that this feature alone makes it safer than the vast majority of its competitors.
This stroller has a padded back seat that can fit children up to two years. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing longer and is a huge win for parents who follow the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages babies and toddlers to remain rear-facing until they are at least two years old. 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 can accept the Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on the front. It is easy to connect your infant's carrier by lowering the front seat and then snapping it in. This feature alone makes it one of the most flexible double strollers available and helps you avoid wasting money on a single-use stroller that could end up in your garage, or even donated to your local secondhand store.
This stroller is the only one with a real flaw It doesn't include cup holders or a tray for parents. The storage space is also small. But, it's an excellent choice for families with a single child who will be walking for the duration of their stroll with an older sibling in a car seat front. It is an excellent choice to travel with, since it is able to fold into a compact size that can be gate-checked on a plane or stored in your trunk.
