Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples will require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants at once. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can fit 23 different car seat models.
It also has a large 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 can be used with the majority of infant car seat carriers. It has an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds up easily to store it or transport it. It is one of the most user-friendly strollers and has good maneuverability for a side-by-side design. It doesn't do well in our jog test, and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The front wheels with swivels struggle to stay on obstacles.
This stroller works with most major brands of infant car seats and adapters are easy to install. The stroller is only able to accommodate one car seat at a time and parents with twins will have to find another option to use their infant carseats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand
double pushchair have impressive scores for their ability to fit two infant car seats at once.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a spacious basket it falls short in our ride comfort measurement. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks to withstand the vibrations and bumps of the road which can be a challenge for
small double stroller passengers. The lack of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump in the road. It may not be an issue as passengers age but it is something to take into consideration when your children are toddlers or infants.
This frame stroller weighs just under 40 pounds. However it feels heavy when loaded with passengers and cargo. The lack of a jog lock makes it hard to jog, and it had a hard time with navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks in our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging, and it weighs less at just 41 pounds. It is still a bit challenging to carry and lift, but it has a designated handle to help you do this. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels, which provide better performance off-road. They are built better and are made of sturdy 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 are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopies, and a cupholder for the parent. It also comes with some fantastic new features, such as the height-adjustable handles as well as a quilted seat. It also has seven different seating configurations and the difficult-to-find double rear facing position that allows kids to look at each one another while keeping an eye on dad and mom.
One of the great things about this stroller is that it's compatible with multiple infant car seat brands, which gives families a range of options and prevents the stroller from being tied to one brand when it comes to strollers that work 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 in case you have twins, or need to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side-byside stroller and is a single stroller and can be used in all aisles and doors easily. While 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 large and can be removed to give more sun protection. It doesn't have enough storage space for the parent's requirements, which can be a problem for some families.
The stroller comes with an electronic foot brake, a safety harness and five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for extra stability, and the handles are ergonomically designed. It folds up with an easy process, and it stands when folded. It doesn't fold with one hand, like some of the other top strollers on this list, but it's still not difficult after a few hours of practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly option that will grow with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating within a sleek, modern stroller frame. This stroller is easy to use everyday features as well as a simple, one-handed fold that self-stands, which is impressive for a lower-priced model. It does have an unmistakably heavier feel than the majority of competition and smaller wheels that struggle with pushing off-road or in tight corners and narrow doorways.
This stroller is compatible with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) - no adapters required. The frame of the stroller can be expanded in a matter of seconds by adding a second seat. This is done without the need for tools or extra parts. It can also be set up in a variety of ways across the USA to fit toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to fit larger children or to support the baby at an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
A large, huge storage basket and back- and front-accessible seat pockets add to the stroller's functionality and the cushioned, curved seat offers maximum comfort for passengers. A retractable canopy keeps children safe from the sun's rays, and a peek-aboo window allows parents to monitor their children.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be added to create a
tandem double stroller so that siblings can ride together, or as an alternative for the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder is able to hold a variety sizes of drinks and the stroller can be foldable with the toddler seat attached, making it easy to access storage space.
Many reviewers are impressed with the ease with which Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to include the second seat. A few have noted that it's difficult to attach an infant car seat to the integrated mounts, whereas attaching the second toddler seat is easier and quicker. Evenflo offers a video chat feature that allows customers to ask questions or receive assistance with attaching car seats. 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 age. It is simple to put together straight out of the box. And unlike other sit-and-stand strollers it is surprisingly light at under 23 pounds. The seats are able to recline in different positions to allow your infant or toddler to snooze and even have a footrest for those who need it. The padded handlebar is positioned in a manner that allows older children can grasp it while standing, even when wearing mittens. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as a reason for why it is more secure than the majority of its rivals.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can accommodate children up to two years. This allows you to keep your infant rear-facing longer, which is a big win for parents who follow the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages babies and toddlers to be rear-facing until they are at least two years old. The seat is easy to buckle and features the same five-point harness as the front seat.
Another benefit of the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with the Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on the front. Simply push down the front seat, then snap into your infant carrier and listen for the click that lets you know it's safe. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers available. It also helps you to avoid purchasing a twin umbrella stroller (
via www.cowgirlboss.com) which is only used a few times and will end up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand store.
The only issue with this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders, and storage space is limited. However, it is still an excellent choice for families with one kiddo who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll and younger siblings in a car seat up the front. It's also a great option to travel with, since it can easily be folded into a compact size that can be gate-checked on an airplane or tucked away in your trunk.
