Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples will want a double stroller that is able to hold two infant car seats at once. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can fit 23 different car seat models.
The car also comes with an ample storage basket, cup holders for parents and seats that can be reversible, giving the most legroom in its class. It has 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 most infant car seats. It has large storage baskets and a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily to store it or transport it. It's among our easiest strollers to maneuver and has a good side-by-side design. It did not perform well in our jog test and was unable to handle more steeper curbs. The front wheels with swivels have trouble with 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 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 can be used with two infant car seats at the same time.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a nice basket it falls short in our ride comfort measurement. The stroller does not have shocks to withstand the bumps and vibrations of the road. This can be hard on little passengers. Also the lack of a reclined seat, children will feel every bump in the road. This may not be an issue as the passengers get older, but it's an important thing to consider if your children are toddlers or infants.
The frame stroller 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 trouble navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better option for jogging and lighter at just 41 pounds. It can still be difficult to lift and carry but it has a designated handle to help you do this. Jog strollers have the advantage of 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 be used for a long time.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 includes All Terrain Double Buggy the features parents love: reversible seats, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on the canopy 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 has seven different configurations of seating, including the difficult to find double-rear-facing seat. This allows children to be able to see each other while keeping an eye on their parents.
The stroller's compatibility to multiple infant car seats is among its best features. It gives families more options and keeps them from being confined to a single brand of stroller that works with baby car seats. The Options Elite works with Graco and Britax infant car seats using a universal adapter, and it also accepts the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It even comes with a second adapter for those who have twins, or wish 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 many aisles and doors. It's not as easy to maneuver as a jogging stroller but it's still a great option for shopping trips and road excursions. It weighs a bit heavier than other double strollers but it's not too heavy for most petite women to lift and move.
The seats are quite comfortable for children, and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is also spacious and can be opened to provide more sun protection. It doesn't have enough storage space for parents' necessities, which may be a problem for some families.
The stroller comes with the foot brake, a safety harness and five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels can be locked for extra stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It is easy to fold and can stand up when folded. Although it doesn't feature a one-hand fold like others of the top strollers, it's not too difficult to accomplish with a bit of practice, and the process is faster than other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot double buggy from birth
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly option that grows with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating within a sleek, modern stroller frame. The stroller is easy to use and has a single-handed fold that can be used to create self-standing. It's a great value, considering its lower price. It has a firmer feel than the competitors, and smaller wheels, which makes it difficult to push off-road in tight turns, or through doorways that are narrow.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) No adapters are needed. The frame of the stroller can be extended in a matter of seconds, by adding another seat. This is done without the need for tools or extra parts. It can also be set up in 23 different ways across the USA, to accommodate toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to fit larger children or to hold the baby in an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
A large, huge storage basket and back- and front-accessible seat pockets increase this stroller's utility and the padded, contoured seat offers the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from the sun's rays, and an open window allows parents to keep an eye on their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride together, or can be utilized as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder holds a variety of beverage sizes and the stroller can be folded with the toddler seat to allow easy access to storage space.
A majority of reviewers are impressed by how easily the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to include the second seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that the attachment of an infant car seat to the mounts integrated in the stroller can be difficult, but attaching a second toddler's seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo provides the option of video chat for customers to ask questions or get assistance with attaching car seats. The only other major drawback for this stroller is its relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller for siblings of similar age. It is simple to put together right out of the box and, unlike many sit-and-stand options, it is relatively lightweight double buggy at just 23 pounds. The seats each have a recline that can be adjusted to allow your baby or toddler to snooze and even have a footrest for older kids who require it. The padding on the handle bar is in the ideal position for children older than 5 years old to hold when standing, even while wearing mittens. Many parents have shared that this feature alone makes it more secure than the vast majority of its rivals.
This stroller also has a cushioned seat in the back that can accommodate children from about two years older. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing for longer, which is a big benefit for parents who are a part of the #TurnAfter2 movement, which encourages babies and toddlers to remain rear-facing until they reach the age of two years old. This seat is easy to buckle and comes with the same five-point harness as the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another benefit: it is able to accept a Chicco KeyFit car seat or Fit2 in the front. You can easily attach your baby carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it in. This alone makes it one of the most flexible double strollers available and will help you avoid wasting money on a stroller that is only used once that will get lost in your garage or donated to a local second-hand store.
The only real drawback to this stroller is that it doesn't include a tray for parents or cup holders and the storage space is somewhat limited. However, it is still an excellent choice for families with just one child who will be walking for the entire duration of their stroll with a younger sibling in a car seat in front. It is also an excellent choice for travel as it will easily fold into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked an airplane or put away in your trunk.
