Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats
You can choose an ultra-light frame that can accommodate two infant car seats in the early days of your baby. Some of the best options include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double or Joovy TwinRoo+.
This model allows car seat carriers to be facing either same or opposite directions and has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It is also able to fit through the majority of doors.
Folding Ease
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a massive, stunning twin stroller that can carry two infant car seats with the correct adapters (car seat adapters are available separately). It easily glides and pushes, turning and spinning like a single-seat stroller. It features adjustable leg and footrests, a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and padded five-point safety harnesses. It comes with a toddler seat, or add the RumbleSeat that is a bassinet-like seat for babies and small children. The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to hold all your belongings and has a convenient spot to stash your phone or purse, as well as four cup holders.
It can be a challenge to fold, especially when you're holding the handlebar with one hand and the seat for your child in the other. You'll also have remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which can take longer than other double strollers we tested. Fortunately, the company upgraded the Vista to be compatible with the latest car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both the original adapters as well as the latest ones. It can even be folded with two adapters connected simultaneously.
Another option for families with twins is the Joovy TwinRoo+, our most popular infant car seat twin stroller frame. It is compatible with 23 different car seat models and can carry both babies in their infant carriers side-by-side. It is a popular choice among parents who have small cars. The clever design cuts down the overall length to ensure that it fits better in certain trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and they recline to a variety of positions at the touch of the button. The buckles were among the easiest to secure and remove in our tests.
The only downside of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is intended for an older child who is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suitable for twins or siblings with similar ages. It's still a great option for families who want to run and the robust design means that it won't wear out as quickly as other tandems.
Wheel Suspension
The wheel suspension on twin strollers with car seats is a feature that makes it more comfortable for children. This is especially important when you're navigating bumps or rough terrain during your walks. Strollers that have suspension usually have larger wheels and shocks.

It also has a 5-point harness, which is crucial as it will keep your children safe in case of an accident. This is something that isn't always found on strollers, but is a must for families with infants or toddlers.

Its bench seat can only accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore, it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. However, we loved that this stroller folds into a compact unit and has handles on each side to help you roll it up to the car.
Some parents might prefer a stroller with a side-byside design because it's less prone to squabbles between siblings. These strollers let parents be able to talk and observe both children simultaneously. The downside is that side-byside strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

We prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands, as it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without having to commit to a specific brand.
You should also consider whether you'd prefer a side by side or tandem stroller. A twin stroller with a side-by-side configuration is more traditional and easier to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs. A tandem stroller on the other hand it can be more unstable and requires more space between the seats. The different seat heights could also lead to an argument between siblings.
