Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples may require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants at once. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can accommodate 23 different car seat models.
It also comes with a massive storage basket, parent cup holders 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 fits most infant car seats. It has a large storage basket and parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds easily for storage or take on trips. It’s one of the most comfortable strollers and is a good choice for a side-by-side design. It didn’t perform well in our jog tests, and was unable to handle higher curbs. The front wheels that swivel have trouble with catching on obstacles.
This stroller can be used with all major brands of infant car seats, and adapters are easy to install. The stroller is only able to accommodate one car seat at a time and parents with twins will have to look for a different way to use their infant car seats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have excellent scores for their capacity to hold two infant car seats simultaneously.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and has a nice basket, but it falls short on our ride comfort measurement. The stroller does not have shocks to withstand the vibrations and bumps of the road. This can be difficult on small passengers. The lack of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump on the road. It may not be an issue as passengers get older however it is important to think about when your children are infants or toddlers.
This frame stroller weighs under 40 pounds. It is heavy with cargo and passengers. It’s difficult to jog without a jog-lock and it had trouble traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter alternative for jogging, weighing 41 pounds. It is still difficult to lift and carry but it has a handle specifically made for this purpose. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that offer more performance off-road. They are built better and are constructed from robust materials that can stand up to long-term use.
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 double stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 comes with all the features parents are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand reclining, adjustable legs rests, zippered extensions to both canopies and a parent cupholder. It also has a number of new features, including the height-adjustable handles and quilted seat. It also has seven seating options that include the difficult-ready to grow double Stroller-find double rear facing position, allowing kids to see each their friends while keeping an eye on dad and mom.
This stroller’s compatibility with multiple infant car seats is one of its best features. It provides families with more choices and prevents them from being confined to a single brand of stroller that is compatible with the baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used 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’s not a side-by-side stroller, so it has the feel of one stroller and can be used in all aisles and doors easily. While it’s not as maneuverable like a jogging-style stroller it’s still an excellent option for shopping or road trip excursions. It weighs a bit more than other double strollers, but it’s not too heavy for most petite women to carry and maneuver.
The seats are comfy for children and the storage basket is large enough. The canopy is huge as well, and can be zipped off for a bit more sun protection. It does not have much storage space for parents’ requirements, which can be a problem for certain families.
This stroller comes with the foot brake as well as a safety harness. It also comes with a five-point harness for each child. The front wheels are lockable for added stability and the ergonomic handles offer a comfortable grip. It’s easy to fold and stands up when folded. It’s not folded with just one hand, like some of the other top 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 a budget-friendly model that can grow with your family. It offers car seat compatibility and reversible seating in a sleek modern stroller frame. This stroller is easy to use everyday features as well as a simple, one-handed fold with a self-stand that is quite impressive for a lower-priced model. It has a more substantial feel than most of the competitors, and smaller wheels which make it difficult to push off road double buggy-road, in tight turns, or through narrow doorways.
This stroller can be used with an infant car seat or toddler seats that are sold separately. There is no need for adapters. The frame of the stroller can be extended in a matter of seconds, by adding a second seat. This is accomplished without the need for tools or other components. It can also be set up in 23 different ways in the USA to accommodate toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used to secure baby in a comfortable position in infant mode or for older children in stroller mode. It comes with three reclining positions as well as a footrest that is adjustable in five positions.
The huge, large basket and the back-and-front-accessible seat pocket enhance the functionality of this stroller. Additionally, the cushioned, contoured seat ensures maximum comfort for passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from the sun and the window that lets parents peek in to keep an eye on their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder holds various sizes of beverages, and the stroller can be folded with an attached toddler seat for easy access to storage space.
Many reviewers are impressed with how easily the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to include an additional seat. A few have noted that it is difficult to attach an infant car seat onto the included mounts, while attaching the second toddler seat is easier and faster. Evenflo offers a video chat feature for customers to ask any questions or seek assistance in mounting car seats. The only other significant 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 straight out of the package and, unlike other sit-and stand alternatives, it weighs at under 23 pounds. The seats recline in a variety of positions so that your infant or toddler can lie down. There is also a footrest available for older children who need it. The padded handlebar can be positioned in a manner that allows older children can grasp it even if they’re wearing gloves. Many parents have reported that this feature alone makes it more secure than the majority of its competitors.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can hold the child up to 2 years. This allows you to keep the infant rear-facing for longer. This is a major win for parents who are following the #TurnAfter2 campaign, which encourages children and babies to remain rear facing until they reach the age of two years old. The seat is easy to buckle and has the same five-point harness found on 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 easy to secure your infant carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it into. This alone makes it one of the most adaptable double strollers available and will help you avoid wasting money on a single-use stroller that could end up in your garage or given to a local second-hand store.
The only real drawback to this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders and the storage space is somewhat restricted. It’s a great option for families with a child walking the entire stroll and another in a car seat on the to the front. It’s also a great option for travel because it can fold up into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked a plane or stow away in your trunk.
