Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins or other multiples will require a double stroller that is able to hold two infant car seats at once. The TwinRoo+ is an easy-to-use frame stroller that can fit 23 different car seat models.
It also comes with a massive storage basket, cup holders for parents and reversible seating with best-in-class 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 the majority of infant car seats. It comes with a large basket for storage, as well as an adult tray with two cup holders. The stroller is lightweight and folds up easily to store it or transport it. It's among our strollers that is easy to maneuver and has a good side-by-side design. It doesn't do well in our jog tests and isn't as adept on steeper curbs. The front wheels with swivels aren't able to grip obstacles.
The adapters for this stroller are simple to put in and work with all major brands. However, the stroller only accepts one infant car seat carrier at a time. Parents of twins will have to look for another option if they wish 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 once.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and has a nice basket, however, it falls short of our ride comfort measure. The stroller lacks shocks that absorb road bumps and vibrations, which can be difficult for children to ride. Additionally, the absence of a seat recline means children will feel every bump in the road. This might not be an issue as the passengers get older but it's something to consider if your kids are toddlers or infants.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 pounds. However it feels heavy when loaded with passengers and cargo. It's difficult to jog without a jog lock and it was a bit difficult navigating grass, gravel and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better option for jogging and lighter at just 41 pounds. It is still a little difficult to carry, but there is a handle that could be used for this purpose. The jog-strollers have larger wheels that offer superior performance off-road. They have a more robust chassis and are made of sturdy materials that can withstand long-term usage.
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 double stroller
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 comes with features that parents love: reversible seating, one-hand recline with adjustable leg rests, and zippered extensions on both canopies. It also comes with a cup holder for parents. It also has some great new features, like the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It has seven different configurations of seating, including the difficult to find double-rear-facing configuration. This allows children to be able to see each other while keeping an eye on their parents.
One of the best things about this stroller is that it is compatible with a variety of infant car seat brands, giving families a variety of choices and keeps them from being confined to a single brand when it is about strollers that are compatible with baby car seats. The Options Elite is compatible with Graco infant car seats as well as Britax double car seats. It also works with UPPAbaby Mesa or Baby Jogger City Select double seats. It even 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 look of a single stroller, and is able to be used in all aisles and doorways without difficulty. While it's not as movable like a jogging-style stroller it's still a great option for road trips or shopping excursions. It's heavier than other double strollers , but it's not too heavy to be lifted.
The seats are comfortable for children and there's a decent storage basket. The canopy is big as well, and can be removed to provide some sun protection. However, it does not contain a huge storage space for necessities for parents and some families may find difficult to access.
The stroller comes with a foot brake as well as a safety harness. 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 down with a simple process and can be repositioned when folded. While it doesn't have an easy one-hand fold like others of the top strollers, it's not difficult to accomplish with a bit of practice and it's faster than some tandem models.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller is a stylish, budget-friendly and contemporary stroller that can grow with your family. It has car seat compatibility, reversible seating, and a sleek frame. This stroller is easy to use everyday features and a convenient, one-handed fold that self-stands 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 doorways that are narrow.
This stroller can be used with two 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 another seat. This is done without the need for tools or other components. It can also be configured in 23 different ways across the USA to accommodate toddlers and infants at different heights. The second seat can be used to cradle baby in a comfortable position in infant mode or, for older children, in stroller mode with three reclining positions as well as a footrest that is adjustable in five positions.
A large, oversized storage basket as well as back- and front-accessible seat pockets add to the stroller's functionality and the padded, contoured seat offers the most comfortable ride for passengers. A retractable canopy shields children from the sun and the window that lets parents peek in to monitor their children.
Adding the accessory Stroller Rider Board creates a tandem for siblings to ride together, or be used in lieu of the standard toddler seat. A flex-hold cup holder can hold a variety of beverage sizes and the stroller folds with an attached toddler seat for easy access to storage space.
A majority of reviewers are impressed with the ease with which the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to include a second seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that attaching an infant car seat to the integrated mounts can be a challenge, however attaching a second toddler's seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo does offer the option of video chat for customers to ask questions and get assistance with fitting car seats, which is a nice touch. The only other major drawback is the relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an ideal stroller for siblings of similar age. It is easy-to-assemble straight out of the package and, unlike other sit-and-stand alternatives, it is light at just 23 pounds. The seats recline in different positions so that your baby or toddler can lie down. There is also a footrest for older children who require it. The padded handlebar is placed in a manner that allows older children can grip it even if they're wearing gloves. Many parents have shared that this feature alone makes it safer than the majority of its competitors.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can hold children up to two years. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing for longer, which is a big benefit for parents who are a part of the #TurnAfter2 movement, which encourages toddlers and infants to be rear-facing until they are at least two years old. The seat is simple to buckle, and it is equipped with the same five-point harness that is used in the front seat.
The Bravo For 2 has another benefit: it is able to accept a 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 feature makes it one the most versatile double strollers on the market. It also allows you to avoid wasting money by purchasing a stroller that's only used once and ends up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand store.
The only drawback to this stroller is that it does not come with a parent tray or cup holders, and storage space is limited. However, it is still an excellent choice for families with just one child who will be walking for the entirety of their stroll and younger siblings in a car seat front. It's also a great option to travel with, since it is able to fold into a smaller size to be gate-checked on a plane or stored in your trunk.
