Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might need a double buggy newborn 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 jogging stroller Snap-N-Go(r) is a great stroller that will fit the majority of infant car seat carriers. It comes with a large storage basket and parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily to store or take on trips. It is one of our strollers that is easy to maneuver and has a nice side-by-side design. It was not as efficient in our jog tests and struggled on higher curbs. The swivel wheels on front don’t seem to be able to catch obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to install and compatible with most major brands. However, the stroller is only compatible with one infant car seat at a time, so parents of twins will have to find a different option if they want to use their infant car seats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top choices that work with two infant car seats at the same time.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and comes with a nice basket, it falls short of our ride comfort measure. The stroller does not have shocks to withstand the bumps and vibrations of the road. This can be difficult on small passengers. Also, the lack of a reclined seat, children will feel every bump on the road. This isn’t a problem as the passengers get older, but it’s an important thing to think about if your children are young toddlers or infants.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 lbs. It is heavy with cargo and passengers. It’s difficult to jog without a jog lock, and it had difficulty traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter option for jogging, coming in at 41 lbs. It is difficult to lift and carry, but it has a handle specifically made to help you do this. Jog strollers benefit from having larger wheels to provide greater off-road performance. They are built better and are made of sturdy materials that can withstand long-term usage.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 double pushchair with car seat Stroller
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 has all the features that parents love: reversible seats, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies, and an adult cupholder. It also has a number of new features, including the height-adjustable handle and quilted seat. It also has seven different seating configurations, including the hard-to-find double rear facing position that allows kids to look at each their friends while keeping an eye on mom and dad.
One of the great things about this stroller is that it’s compatible with many infant car seat brands, giving families a wide range of choices and keeps them from being locked into a single brand when it is about strollers that can are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite works with Graco and Britax infant car seats with a universal adapter that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It has an additional adapter in case you have twins or want to use two infant car seat.
It’s not a side-by-side stroller and has the look of a single stroller and is able to be used in all aisles and doorways without difficulty. While it’s not as maneuverable like a jogging-style stroller it’s still a great option for shopping or road trip excursions. It weighs a bit more than other double strollers, however it’s not too heavy for most petite women to lift and maneuver.
The seats are comfy for children and the storage basket is of a decent size. The canopy is also large and can be opened for more sun protection. However, it does not have a large storage space for the necessities of parents, which some families may find difficult to access.
The stroller comes with an electronic foot brake, a safety harness and five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It’s easy to fold and can stand up when folded. It’s not folded with just one hand like other strollers in this list, but it’s still not difficult after a little practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a stylish, budget-friendly and modern stroller that can expand with your family. It comes with car seat compatibility, reversible seats, and a stylish frame. It comes with easy-to-use daily features and a convenient one-handed fold with a self-stand which is remarkable for a less expensive model. It has a heavier feel than most of the competition, and smaller wheels, which makes it difficult to push off-road in tight turns or through narrow doors.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seat or toddler seats sold separately. There are no adapters required. The addition of a second seat can expand the frame of the stroller in just a few minutes without the need for tools or additional parts, and is available in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate infant and toddler seating at different heights in both parent-facing or forward-facing settings. 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 an adjustable footrest that can be adjusted to five positions.
A large, oversized storage basket as well as back- and front-facing seat pockets enhance this stroller’s utility, while the padded, contoured seat offers maximum comfort for passengers. A retractable canopy protects children from sun and a peek-a-boo window allows parents to keep an eye on them.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride together, or be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can hold a variety sizes of beverages and the stroller can be folded when the toddler seat is attached to make it easy to access storage space.
A majority of reviewers are impressed by how easily the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to accommodate the second seat. A few have noted that it’s difficult to connect an infant car seat onto the mounts that are integrated, but attaching the second toddler seat is simpler and faster. Evenflo offers a video chat feature for customers to ask questions or seek assistance in mounting car seats. The only downside is the relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an ideal stroller for siblings of similar age. It’s easy to put together right out of 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 nap. There is also a footrest for older children who require it. The padding on the handle bar is in the ideal position for older children to grasp while standing, even when wearing mittens. This feature has been cited by many parents as the reason why it is more secure than the majority of its rivals.
This stroller has a padded back seat that can hold the child up to two years old. This lets you keep the infant rear-facing for longer. This is a huge benefit for parents adhering to the #TurnAfter2 campaign which encourages infants and children to be rear-facing until they reach two years old. This seat is simple to buckle and has the same five-point harness found on 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. Simply push down the front seat, then snap in your infant carrier and listen for the sound that indicates it is safe. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers on the market. It also helps to avoid purchasing a stroller that’s only used once and will end in your garage or donated to a second-hand shop.
This stroller is the only one with a real flaw: it does not come with an holder for cups or a tray for parents. The storage space is also small. However, it is still an excellent option for families with a single child who will be walking for the duration of their stroll and a younger sibling in a car seat in front. It is also an excellent choice for travel as it folds easily into an incredibly compact size that can be gate-checked on a plane or stow away in your trunk.
