Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins and other multiples will require a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is a tough, frame stroller that takes 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters are sold separately).
The car also has an ample storage basket and cup holders for parents and convertible seats that offer the best legroom of its class. There are 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 most infant car seats. It has an ample storage basket as well as a 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 user-friendly strollers and has good maneuverability for a side-by-side model. It isn’t very good in our jog test and struggles on higher curbs. The swivel wheels at the front have trouble catching on obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are easy to install and work with the majority of major brands. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat at a time Parents with twins will have to choose a different option to use their infant car seats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top choices that can be used with two infant car seats at once.
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 can be difficult for little passengers. The absence of a reclined seat means that children will feel every bump that comes along the road. This may not be an issue as the passengers get older, but it’s something to think about if your children are infants or young toddlers.
This frame stroller weighs under 40 lbs. It feels heavy with passengers and cargo. The lack of a locking mechanism for jogging makes it difficult to jog, and it had a hard time in navigating gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better choice for jogging and is lighter at 41 lbs. It is difficult to lift and carry, but it comes with a handle specifically designed for this purpose. The jog-strollers feature larger wheels that offer more performance off-road. They also have a better built chassis and are constructed of durable materials that can 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 recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions on both canopies and a parent cupholder. It also comes with some fantastic new features, like the height-adjustable handles and quilted seats. It has seven different configurations of seating, including the hard-to-find double-rear-facing position. This allows children to look at each other while watching their parents.
The stroller’s compatibility with a variety of infant car seats is one of its most appealing features. It offers families more options and prevents them from being confined to one brand of stroller that is compatible with the baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats as well as Britax double car seats. It also supports the UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double seats. It comes with a second adapter if you have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It’s not a side by side double stroller-by-side by side double stroller stroller, so it’s more like one stroller. It can be used in numerous doorways and aisles. It’s not as easy to maneuver as a jogging stroller, but it’s still a great choice for shopping and road trip excursions. It weighs a bit heavier than other double strollers, however it’s not too heavy for most petite women to carry and maneuver.
The seats are comfy for children and the storage basket is a good size. The canopy is also big and can be opened to give more sun protection. It does not have much storage space for the parent’s necessities, which may be a problem for certain families.
This stroller comes with an electronic foot brake and safety harness. It also has five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels can be locked to provide extra stability and the ergonomic handles provide the user with a comfortable grip. It folds up with ease, and it stands when folded. It doesn’t fold with one hand as other strollers however it’s not difficult to do after a few hours of practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly model that will grow with your family, providing car seat compatibility and reversible seating an elegant modern stroller frame. The stroller is easy to use and features an easy fold that allows for a self-stand. It’s a great deal given its price. It has a more substantial feel than the competition, and smaller wheels that make it difficult to push off-road in tight turns, or through narrow doorways.
This stroller is compatible with two infant car seats or toddler seats (sold separately) and no adapters are required. The addition of a second seat can expand the frame of the stroller in a matter of seconds without tools or extra parts, and it can be used in 23 configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seating at different heights in parent-facing or forward-facing settings. The second seat can be used in stroller mode to accommodate older children or to hold the baby at an angle that is comfortable in infant mode.
The large, oversized basket and the back-and-front-accessible pocket increase the value of this stroller. Moreover, a 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 keep an eye on their children.
The addition of the Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. The cupholder flex-hold can accommodate a variety of beverages, and the stroller is foldable with the toddler seat attached, making it easy to access storage space.
Most reviewers are impressed with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to include an additional seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that the attachment of an infant car seat to the integrated mounts could be difficult, but attaching the second toddler’s seat is much more simple and quick. Evenflo does have an option to video chat with customers to ask questions and get help with installing car seats, which is a nice feature. The only other issue is the relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are close in age. It’s easy to assemble right from the box and, unlike other sit-and stand alternatives, it is light at just 23 pounds. The seats are able to recline in different positions to allow your infant or toddler to sleep and even have a footrest for older kids who require it. The padded handle bar is in a good position for older children to grip when standing, even while wearing gloves. This feature has been cited by many parents as the reason it is safer than most of its competitors.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can fit children up to two years. This lets you keep your child rear-facing longer. This is a huge win for parents who are following the #TurnAfter2 initiative, which encourages babies and children to keep their rears facing until they reach two years old. This seat is easy to buckle and has the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it will accept an Chicco KeyFit and Fit2 car seat in the front. You simply push down the front seat, then snap into your infant carrier and listen for the sound which indicates that it is safe. This feature alone makes it one of the most adaptable double strollers available and lets you avoid spending money on a single-use stroller that will get lost in your garage or donated to a secondhand store in your area.
The only issue with this stroller is that it doesn’t come with a tray for parents or cup holders and the storage space is somewhat restricted. It’s a great choice for families who have one child walking the entire stroll and another in a car-seat on the in front. It’s also a great choice for travel as it can fold up into smaller dimensions that can be gate-checked on a plane or stow away in your trunk.
