Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents of twins or other multiples might require a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The TwinRoo+ is a tough frame stroller that fits 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters sold separately).
The car also has an enormous storage basket as well as cup holders for parents and seats that can be reversible, giving the most legroom available in its class 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 seat carriers. It has an ample storage basket as well as a parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or transport. It's one of our most maneuverable strollers and is a great side-by-side design. It didn't perform well in our jog tests, and struggled on higher curbs. The front wheels with swivels struggle to stay on obstacles.
This stroller can be used with all major brands of infant car seats, and adapters are easy to install. The stroller only accepts one infant car seat at a time. Parents of twins must consider a different option if they want to use their infant carseats together. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double and Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double are top-rated options that can be used with two infant car seats simultaneously.
The Baby Trend is easy-to-use and comes with a nice basket however, it falls short of our ride comfort metric. The stroller does not have shocks that are able to absorb road vibrations and bumps which can be a challenge for children to ride. Additionally, the absence of a reclined seat, children will feel every bump in the road. This isn't a problem as the passengers get older, but it's something to consider if your children are young toddlers or infants.
It's a relatively lightweight frame stroller, weighing less than 40 pounds. It's heavy with cargo and passengers. Pushchairs & Prams of the locking mechanism for jogging makes it difficult to jog and it struggled with navigating through gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution Flex is a better option for jogging and is lighter at around 41 lbs. It is still a bit challenging to lift and carry, but it has a handle specifically made for this purpose. Jog-strollers come with larger wheels that provide superior performance off-road. They also have a better built chassis and are constructed of durable materials that are able to endure long-term use.
The Contours(r) Options Elite V2 Double Stroller
The Contours(r), Options Elite V2 has the features parents love: reversible seating, one-hand recline with adjustable leg rests, and zippered extensions on both canopies. It also has an adult cupholder. It also has a number of new features, including the height-adjustable handle and quilted seats. It comes with seven different types of seating, including the difficult-to-find double-rear-facing seat. This lets kids 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 wide range of choices and keeps them from being confined to one brand when it is about strollers that can work with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats by using a universal adapter that can also be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It comes with an additional adapter for when you have twins, or need to use two infant car seat.
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 doors without difficulty. It's not as maneuverable as a jogging stroller however it's still a great option for shopping trips and road 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 it can be removed for some sun protection. However, it does not have a large storage space for necessities for parents, which some families may find to be inconvenient.
This stroller comes with a foot brake and a safety harness. It also comes with five-point harnesses for each child. The front wheels can be locked for added stability and the ergonomic handles provide an ergonomic grip. It folds down with ease and then it can stand when folded. It doesn't fold with one hand, like some of the other top 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 will grow with your family. It comes with 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 model that is priced lower.

An extendable canopy protects children from the sun, and an open window allows parents to keep an eye on their children.

The flex-hold cupholder can hold a variety of beverages and the stroller is foldable with the toddler seat connected, making it simple to access storage space.
Most reviewers are impressed by how easily the Pivot Xpand stroller can be expanded to include a second seat. Some have pointed out that it can be difficult to connect an infant car seat onto the mounts that are integrated, but attaching the second toddler seat is easier and quicker. Evenflo does have a video chat option for customers to ask questions and receive assistance in installing car seats that is a nice addition. The only downside for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is an excellent stroller that is ideal for siblings of similar age. It's easy to put together straight out of the box and unlike other sit-and-stand strollers it is light at less than 23 pounds. The seats recline in different places so that your baby or toddler can rest. There is also a footrest available for older children who require it. The cushioned handle bar is the ideal position for older children to grip while standing, even when wearing gloves. Many parents have said that this feature alone makes it safer than the majority of its competitors.
This stroller comes with a cushioned back seat that can accommodate a child of up to two years old. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing for longer. This is a great benefit for parents adhering to the #TurnAfter2 campaign which encourages children and babies to remain rear facing until they reach two years of age. The seat is easy to buckle and features the same great five-point harness that is found on the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it will accept a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat 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 available. It also allows you to avoid buying a stroller that is 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 doesn't include a tray for parents or cup holders, and storage space is somewhat restricted. It is a great option for families who have one child who walks the entire stroll and another in a car seat on the in front. It's also a great 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.
