Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples may require a double stroller that can hold two infant car seats at the same time. The TwinRoo+ is a tough frame stroller that fits 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters sold separately).
The car also comes with a large storage basket, cup holders for parents and seats that can be reversible, giving the most legroom of its class 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 fits most infant car seat carriers. It comes with a large basket for storage and a tray for parents with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily to store or travel. It's one of the most user-friendly strollers and is a good choice for a side-byside design. It isn't very good in our jog test, and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The front wheels that swivel have trouble with catching on obstacles.
This stroller is compatible with all major brands of infant car seats and adapters are easy to install. The stroller only accepts one infant car seat at a time, so parents of twins must look for another option if they wish to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double as well as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have excellent scores for their capacity to fit two infant car seats at the same time.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and comes with a nice basket but it falls short on our ride comfort measure. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks to cushion the bumps and vibrations of the road, which can be difficult on small passengers. The lack of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump that comes along the road. This may not be a problem when passengers get older but it is something to consider when your children are still infants or toddlers.
It is a light frame stroller at under 40 lbs. It's heavy with passengers and cargo. It is 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 option for jogging and lighter at just 41 pounds. It's not perfect, but it's difficult to lift, but there is a handle that can be used for this purpose. The jog-strollers feature larger wheels that provide more performance off-road. They also have a more sturdy chassis and are made of durable materials that can endure long-term use.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 has the features parents are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests and zippered extensions for both canopies. It also has a cup holder for parents. In addition, it comes with exciting new features such as the height-adjustable handle as well as quilted seats. It also has seven seating options and the difficult-to-find double rear facing position that allows kids to look at each their friends while watching mom and dad.
One of the great things about this stroller is that it's compatible with many infant car seat brands, which gives families a wide range of options and prevents them from being locked into a single brand when it is about strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco and Britax infant car seats using a universal adapter that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It also has a second adapter for those who have twins or wish to use two infant car seats.
It is not a side by side stroller, which makes it feel like it's a single stroller. It is able to be used in a variety of aisles and doors. It's not as easy to maneuver as a jogging stroller but it's still a great choice for shopping and road trip 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 fairly comfortable for kids, and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is big, too, and can be removed for an extra shade. However, it doesn't provide ample storage space for the necessities of parents that some families might consider to be a hassle.
This stroller has a foot brake and a safety harness. It also comes with a five-point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked to provide stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It folds down with ease, and it stands when folded. It doesn't fold with one hand, like some of the top strollers, but it's still easy to fold after a few hours 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. This stroller is easy to operate and features a single-handed fold that can be used to create self-standing. It's a good value for the price, especially considering its low cost. It has a heavier feel than the competitors, and smaller wheels that make it difficult to push off the road, in tight turns, or through narrow doorways.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) - no adapters required. Adding a second seat expands the frame of the stroller in just a few minutes without the need for tools or additional parts, and it 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 be used to hold baby at a comfortable angle when in infant mode or for older children in stroller mode. It comes with three reclining positions and a 5-position adjustable footrest.
The large, spacious basket and the back-and-front-accessible seat pocket increase the value of this stroller. Additionally, a padded, contoured, seat provides maximum comfort for passengers. A retractable canopy shields children from the sun and the window that lets parents peek in to keep an eye on them.
The addition of the Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride in tandem, or be utilized as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. The flex-hold cupholder can accommodate a variety of drinks, and the stroller is easily foldable with the toddler seat attached, making it easy to access storage space.
The majority of reviewers are impressed with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be extended to include the second seat. Some have mentioned that it's difficult to connect an infant car seat on the mounts that are integrated, but attaching the second toddler seat is simpler and quicker. Evenflo has an option to video chat with customers to ask questions and receive help with installing car seats that is a nice touch. The only other major drawback is the short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller for siblings of similar ages. It is simple to put together straight out of the box. And, unlike many sit-and-stand options it is surprisingly light at under 23 pounds. The seats can are able to recline in different positions to allow your baby or toddler to sleep and there is even a footrest for those who need it. double to single buggy padded handlebar is placed so that older children can grasp it while standing, even if they're wearing mittens. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as a reason for why it is more secure than the majority of its competitors.
This stroller also has a padded seat in the back that can be used by children from about two years older. This allows you to keep your infant rear-facing longer, which is a big win for parents who follow the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages toddlers and infants to remain rear-facing until they are at least two years old. This seat is easy to buckle and is equipped with the same 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 on the front. It is simple to secure your infant carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it in. This makes it one of the most versatile double strollers on the market. It also helps you to avoid purchasing a stroller that's only used a few times and will end in your garage, or donated to a second-hand store.
double to single buggy with this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders, and the storage space is somewhat limited. But, it's an excellent option for families with just one child who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll with a younger sibling in a car seat up the front. It's also a great option for traveling, as it can easily be folded into a smaller size to be gate-checked into an airplane or tucked away in your trunk.
