Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might want a double stroller which can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is a tough, frame stroller that takes 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters sold separately).
It also features a huge 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 a fantastic stroller that fits most infant car seats. It comes with a large basket for storage, as well as a tray for parents with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds easily for storage or take on trips. It is one of our most maneuverable strollers and is a great side-by-side design. It isn't very good in our jog test and struggles on higher curbs. The swivel wheels on the front aren't able to grip obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to put in and work with the majority of major brands. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat at a given time and parents with twins will need to find another option to use their infant carseats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top choices that can be used with two infant car seats at the same time.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a spacious basket, it falls short of our ride comfort measurement. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks that absorb road vibrations and bumps, which can be difficult for children to ride. Also the lack of a seat recline means children will feel every bump in the road. This may not be a problem when passengers get older, but it is important to think about when your children are toddlers or infants.
It is a light frame stroller that weighs less than 40lbs. However, it is heavy when packed with cargo and passengers. It's difficult to jog without a jog lock, and it had difficulty navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging and lighter at around 41 lbs. It's still difficult to lift, however there is a handle that can be used to accomplish this. Jog strollers have the advantage of having larger wheels for better off-road performance. They have a more robust chassis and are made of durable materials that can withstand long-term use.
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 double stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 comes with all the features parents love: reversible seats, one-hand reclining, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on the canopy and an adult cupholder. It also has a number of new features, including the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It also comes with seven different seating configurations, including the hard-to-find double rear-facing position, which allows children to be able to see each other while keeping an eye on mom and dad.
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 a single brand when it comes to strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats with an adapter that is universal, 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 stroller that is side-by-side and has the look of a single stroller, and can be used in all aisles and doorways easily. Although it's not as maneuverable as a jogging stroller, it's a great choice for shopping or road trip excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers, but not too heavy to lift.
The seats are comfortable for kids and there's a decent storage basket. The canopy is also large and can be removed for more sun protection. However, it does not contain a huge storage space for necessities for parents, which some families may find difficult to access.
This stroller has the foot brake, a safety harness and a five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability, and the ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip. It folds up with a simple process and then it can stand when folded. It's not folded 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 an excellent budget-friendly option that will grow with your family, offering car seat compatibility and reversible seating in a sleek modern stroller frame. It comes with easy-to-use daily features and a convenient one-handed fold, with a self-stand that is quite impressive for a lower-priced model. It has a heavier feel than most of the other models, and has 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 needed. The addition of a second seat can expand the stroller frame in minutes without the need for tools or additional parts, and is available in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seating at different heights in both parent-facing or forward-facing settings. The second seat can also be used to cradle baby at a comfortable angle in infant mode or, for older children, in stroller mode with three reclining positions and a 5-position adjustable footrest.
The large, spacious basket as well as the front-facing and back-accessible seat pocket increase the value of this stroller. Moreover, a padded, contoured, seat provides maximum comfort for the passengers. A retractable canopy keeps children shielded from the sun's rays, while an open window allows parents to keep an eye on their children.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be added to create a tandem, so that siblings can share a ride or as an alternative for the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder can hold a variety of drinks, and the stroller is folded when the toddler seat is attached to make it easy to access storage space.
side by side double stroller appreciate the ease with which Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to include a second seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that attaching an infant car seat to the integrated mounts could be a challenge, however attaching a second toddler's seat is much more simple and quick. Evenflo does have an option to video chat with customers to ask questions and get assistance in installing car seats it is a nice touch. 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 that is ideal for siblings of similar age. It is easy to assemble right out from the box and, unlike many sit-and-stand options it is surprisingly light at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in a variety of positions so that your baby or toddler can lie down. There is also a footrest for older children who need it. The padded handle bar is in the ideal position for older children to grasp when standing, even while wearing mittens. Many parents have shared that this feature alone makes it safer than the majority of its competitors.
The stroller is padded with a back seat that can fit a child of up to two years. This lets you keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a huge win for parents who are following the #TurnAfter2 initiative, which encourages children and babies to be rear-facing until they reach two years old. The seat is simple to buckle, and it is equipped with the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another benefit: it is able to accept the Chicco KeyFit car seat or Fit2 in the front. It is simple to secure your infant carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it into. This feature alone makes it one of the most flexible double strollers out there and will help you avoid wasting money on a single-use stroller that will get lost in your garage, or even donated to a local second-hand store.
The stroller has one problem: it does not come with cup holders or a tray for parents. The storage space is also restricted. It's a great choice for families with a child who walks the entire stroll and another in a car seat in the to the front. It is also an excellent choice for travel as it will easily fold into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked the plane or stored in your trunk.
