Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples may require a double stroller that can hold two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can hold 23 different car seat models.
It also comes with a massive storage basket, cup holders for parents 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 can be used with the majority of infant car seat carriers. It comes with an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or travel. It is one of the most comfortable strollers and has good maneuverability for a side-byside design. It didn't perform well in our jog tests and had difficulty with more steeper curbs. The front wheels with swivels aren't able to grip obstacles.
This stroller is compatible with all major brands of infant car seats and adapters are easy to install. The stroller can only 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 are top scoring options that work with two infant car seats at once.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and comes with a nice basket but it falls short on our ride comfort metric. The stroller does not have shocks to withstand the bumps and vibrations of the road. This can be difficult on small passengers. Also, the lack of a reclined seat means children will feel every bump in the road. This isn't an issue when the passengers get older, but it's an important thing to consider if your children are toddlers or infants.
This is a fairly light frame stroller that weighs less than 40 lbs. However it feels heavy when loaded with passengers and cargo. It's hard to jog with no jog lock and it had trouble traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter choice for jogging, weighing in at 41 lbs. It's still difficult to lift, but there is a handle that could be used to accomplish this. The jog-strollers have larger wheels that provide better performance off-road. 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 has all the features that parents love: reversible seats, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies, and a cupholder for the parent. It also comes with some fantastic new features, including the height-adjustable handles and quilted seat. It offers seven different configurations of seating, including the difficult to find double-rear-facing configuration. This allows kids to see eachother while keeping an eye on their parents.
The stroller's compatibility with a variety of infant car seats is among its greatest features. It offers families more options and prevents them from being confined to a single model of stroller that works with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats by using an adapter that is universal that also works with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It also has an additional adapter in case you have twins, or need to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side-by-side stroller so it feels like one stroller. It can be used in numerous doorways and aisles. Although it's not as maneuverable as a jogging-style stroller, it's still an excellent option for road trips or shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers but not too heavy to carry.
The seats are quite comfortable for kids and there's a decent storage basket. The canopy is also spacious and can be removed to provide more sun protection. However, double stroller with bassinet does not contain a huge storage space for parent necessities that some families might consider to be a hassle.
This stroller has the foot brake, a safety harness and five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added security and the handles are ergonomically designed. It is easy to fold and stands up when folded. It's not able to fold with just one hand, like other strollers on this list however, it's easy to fold after a little practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly favorite that can grow with your family, providing car seat compatibility and reversible seating a stylish, modern stroller frame. The stroller is easy to use and has a single-handed fold that permits self-standing. It's a great deal for the price, especially considering its low cost. It does have an unmistakably heavier feel than the majority of competitors and smaller wheels that have difficulty with pushing off-road, or in tight corners and narrow doorways.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats that are sold separately. There are no adapters required. 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 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 support the baby in an angle that is comfortable for infant mode.
A large, huge storage basket and back- and front-accessible seat pockets increase this stroller's utility The cushioned, contoured seat provides the most comfortable ride for passengers. A canopy that can be extended keeps children shielded from the sun, and a peek-aboo window allows parents to monitor their children.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be added to create a tandem, so that siblings can ride together, or as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder can hold a variety of drinks and the stroller is folded when the toddler seat is connected, making it simple to access storage space.
The majority of reviewers like the ease with which the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate the second seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that attaching an infant car seat to the mounts integrated in the stroller can be a bit difficult, however, attaching the second toddler's seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo does offer a video chat option for customers to ask questions and get assistance with fitting car seats that is a nice addition. The only other issue is the relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a ideal stroller for children who are close in age. It is simple to put together straight out of the package and, unlike other sit-and-stand alternatives, it weighs at under 23 pounds. The seats each recline in multiple positions to allow your baby or toddler to sleep and even have a footrest for those who need it. The padding on the handle bar is in the ideal position for older children to grasp when standing, even while wearing mittens. Many parents have reported that this feature alone makes it safer than the majority of its rivals.
This stroller has a padded back seat that can accommodate a child of up to two years old. This allows you to keep your infant rear-facing for longer and is a huge advantage for parents who adhere to the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages toddlers and infants to keep their rears facing until at least two years old. The seat is easy to buckle and has the same great five-point harness as the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with a 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 lets you know it's secure. This feature alone makes it one of the most flexible double strollers on the market and will help you avoid wasting money on a stroller that is only used once that is likely to end up in your garage or given to a secondhand store in your area.
This stroller has only one real flaw it doesn't include cup holders or a tray for parents. The storage space is also small. It is an excellent option for families with a single child who will be walking for the entire duration of their stroll with younger siblings in a car seat in front. It's also a great option for traveling as it folds easily into a compact size that can be gate-checked a plane or stow away in your trunk.
