Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might require a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can hold 23 different car seat models.
It also has a large 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 great stroller that is compatible with the majority of infant car seats. It comes with an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds up easily to store or transport. It's among the easiest strollers to use and is very maneuverable for a side-by-side model. It didn't perform well in our jog test and struggled on more steeper curbs. The swivel wheels at the front don't seem to be able to catch obstacles.
This stroller is compatible with all major brands of infant car seats and the adapters are easy to install. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat at a time Parents with twins will need to choose a different option to use their infant carseats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double as well as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have high scores for their ability to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a nice basket, it falls short of our ride comfort measure. The stroller does not have shocks that absorb road bumps and vibrations which could be challenging for little passengers. The lack of reclined seats means that children will feel every bump on the road. This isn't a problem as the passengers get older, but it's something to think about if your children are infants or young toddlers.
This frame stroller weighs just under 40 lbs. However it feels heavy when packed with cargo and passengers. The lack of a jog lock makes it hard to jog and it struggled with navigating through gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter alternative for jogging, coming 41 pounds. It's still difficult to lift, however there is a handle that can be used for this purpose. The jog-strollers have larger wheels that provide superior 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 appreciate: reversible seats one-hand reclining, adjustable legs rests, zippered extensions on both canopies and a parent cupholder. It also comes with some fantastic new features, such as the height-adjustable handles and quilted seat. It has seven different configurations of seating, including the hard-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 with a variety of infant car seats is among its most appealing features. It provides families with more choices and prevents them from being tied to a single model of stroller that works with a baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats and Britax double car seats. It also supports the UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It even has an additional adapter to accommodate those who have twins, or wish to use two infant car seats.
It's not a side-byside stroller, so it has the look of a single stroller and can be used in all aisles and doors with ease. 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 more than other double strollers but it's not too heavy for most petite women to lift and move.
The seats are comfortable for children, and the storage basket is a good size. The canopy is big as well, and it can be removed to provide a bit more sun protection. It does not have much storage space for parents' requirements, which can be a problem for certain families.
The stroller comes with an electronic foot brake and safety harness. It also comes with five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability, and the handles are ergonomically designed. It is easy to fold and stands up when folded. While it doesn't have a one-hand fold, like some of the other top strollers on this list it's not difficult to master with a bit of practice and it's quicker than some other tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly model that will grow with your family, offering car seat compatibility and reversible seating in a stylish, modern stroller frame. This stroller has easy-to-use everyday features and a convenient one-handed fold, with a self-stand, which is remarkable for a less expensive model. It has a firmer feel than most of the competitors, and smaller wheels that make it difficult to push off the 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 required. The frame of the stroller can be expanded in a matter of seconds by adding another seat. This is made without the need of tools or additional components. It can also be configured in 23 different ways across the USA to accommodate infants and toddlers at different heights. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to fit larger children or to support the infant at an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
twin pushchair , huge storage basket and back- and front-facing seat pockets enhance the utility of this stroller The padded, contoured seat offers the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from the sun's rays, while a peek-aboo window allows parents to monitor their little ones.
The addition of the Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or can be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A cup holder that flex-holds can hold various sizes of beverages and the stroller can fold with a toddler seat attached for easy access to storage space.
Most reviewers are impressed by the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to include the second seat. Some reviewers have noted that attaching an infant car seat to the integrated mounts could be a bit difficult, however, attaching a second toddler's seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo does have the option of video chat for customers to ask questions and get help with installing car seats, which is a nice feature. The only other major drawback for this stroller is its relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are similar in age. It's easy to assemble right from the box and, unlike other sit-and-stand alternatives, it is light at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in a variety of positions so that your infant or toddler can nap. There is also a footrest available for older children who require it. The padded handlebar can be positioned in a way that older children can grip it while standing, even if they are wearing gloves. Many parents have said that this feature alone makes it more secure than the majority of its rivals.
The stroller also features a padded seat in the back that can be used by children up to about two years older. This allows you to keep your infant rear-facing longer and is a major benefit for parents who are a part of the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages toddlers and infants to keep their rears facing until they are at least two years old. This seat is simple to buckle and has the same great five-point harness found on the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another advantage: it can accept Chicco KeyFit car seats or Fit2 in the front. You simply push down the front seat, then snap in your infant carrier and listen for the sound that lets you know it is safe. This alone makes it one of the most flexible double strollers out there and helps you avoid wasting money on a stroller that is only used once that could end up in your garage or given to a local second-hand store.
The stroller has one major flaw it doesn't come with cup holders or a tray for parents. The storage space is also limited. It is an excellent choice for families with a single child who will be walking for the duration of their stroll with a younger sibling in a car seat up in front. It is also a great choice to travel with, since it is able to fold into a smaller size to be gate-checked on the plane or put in your trunk.
