Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples will require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants at once. The TwinRoo+ is a tough frame stroller that can accommodate 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters are sold separately).
It also has a large 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 great stroller that fits most infant car seat carriers. It comes with an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds up easily to store it or transport it. It is one of the most user-friendly strollers and is a good choice for a side-by-side design. It's not very effective in our jog test, and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The swivel wheels on the front have trouble catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to install and work with all major brands. The stroller can only fit one car seat at a given time and parents with twins will need to look for a different way to use their infant car seats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top scoring options that work with two infant car seats simultaneously.
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 to withstand the vibrations and bumps of the road. This can be difficult on small passengers. Also, double buggy from birth Pushchairs And Prams of a reclined seat means children will feel every bump on the road. It might not be a problem when passengers age but it is something to think about when your children are infants or toddlers.
This frame stroller weighs under 40 pounds. It feels heavy with passengers and cargo. The lack of the jog lock makes it hard to jog and it struggled in navigating gravel, grass, and sidewalks in our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter alternative for jogging, weighing in at 41 lbs. It is still a little difficult to lift, however there is a handle that could be used to accomplish this. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that provide more performance off-road. They also have a better built 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 comes with all the features parents love: reversible seats, one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to the canopy and an adult cupholder. In addition, it comes with amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle as well as quilted seats. It also has seven seating configurations that include the difficult-to-find double rear facing position that allows children to be able to see each one another while watching mom and dad.
The stroller's compatibility to multiple infant car seats is one of its best features. It provides families with more options and prevents them from being confined to a single brand of stroller that works with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats with an adapter universal to all brands that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It even has a second adapter for those who have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It's not a stroller that is side-by-side and is one stroller and can be used in most aisles and doorways easily. It's not as maneuverable 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 petite women to lift and move.
The seats are comfy for kids, and the storage basket is of a decent size. The canopy is also spacious and can be removed for more sun protection. However, it doesn't provide ample storage space for parent necessities, which some families may consider to be a hassle.
This stroller has the foot brake as well as a safety harness. It also has a five-point harness for every child. The front wheels can be locked for extra stability and the handles are ergonomically designed. It is easy to fold and stands up when folded. While it doesn't have an easy one-hand fold like others of the top strollers on this list, it's not a problem to do with a little practice and the process is faster than some tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a stylish, budget-friendly and modern stroller that can grow with your family. It has car seat compatibility, reversible seats, and a stylish frame. This stroller has easy-to-use everyday 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 competitors, 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 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 made without the need of tools or additional parts. It can also be configured in 23 different ways in the USA, to accommodate toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to fit larger children or to cradle the baby at an angle that is comfortable for infant mode.
The huge, large basket and the back-and-front-accessible pocket increase the value of this stroller. Moreover, a padded, contoured, seat provides the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy shields children from the sun and the window that lets parents peek in to keep an eye on them.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem that allows siblings to ride together, or can be used as an alternative to the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder can hold a variety of beverage sizes, and the stroller can fold with an attached toddler seat for easy access to storage space.
The majority of reviewers are pleased with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to accommodate the second seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that the attachment of an infant car seat to the integrated mounts can be a bit difficult, however, attaching the second toddler's seat is much more simple and quick. Evenflo does offer a video chat option for customers to ask questions and receive assistance in installing car seats it is a nice addition. 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 with similar age. It is easy to assemble straight out of the box and, unlike many sit-and-stand options it is surprisingly light at less than 23 pounds. The seats each are able to recline in different positions to allow your baby or toddler to rest and there is even a footrest for those who need it. The cushioned handle bar is the ideal position for older children to grasp while standing, even if wearing gloves. Many parents have reported that this feature alone makes it safer than the vast majority of its rivals.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can hold the child up to two years old. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing longer, which is a big benefit for parents who are a part of the #TurnAfter2 campaign that encourages toddlers and babies to be rear-facing until they reach the age of two years old. This seat is easy to buckle, and it has the same five-point harness as the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with an Chicco KeyFit and Fit2 car seat in the front. It is simple to secure your infant carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it into. This feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers on the market. It also helps you to avoid buying a stroller that is only used once and will end up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand shop.
The only issue with this stroller is that it does not include a tray for parents or cup holders, and the storage space is limited. It is an excellent choice for families with one kiddo who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll, and younger siblings in a car seat the front. It's an excellent choice to travel with, since it is able to fold into a compact size to be gate-checked onto the plane or put in your trunk.
