Double Stroller With Car Seat Compatability
Parents with twins and other multiples will require a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants at the same time. 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 with 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 seats. It comes with large storage baskets and a parent tray with two cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or transport. It's among our easiest strollers to maneuver and has a good side-by-side design. It did not perform well in our jog tests and was unable to handle higher curbs. The front wheels that swivel 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 can only fit one infant car seat at a given time and parents with twins will have 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-rated options that can be used with two infant car seats at once.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a spacious basket it falls short in our ride comfort measure. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks that are able to absorb road bumps and vibrations which can be a challenge for children to ride. Also the lack of a reclined seat means children will feel every bump on the road. This might not be an issue as the passengers get older but it's a crucial thing to consider if your children are infants or young toddlers.
It's a relatively light frame stroller at under 40lbs. It's heavy with cargo and passengers. It is difficult to jog without a jog lock and it had trouble traversing gravel, grass and sidewalks during our tests. The BOB Revolution is a lighter choice for jogging and weighs in at 41 lbs. It is a bit challenging to carry and lift, but it comes with a handle specifically designed for this purpose. Jog strollers benefit from having larger wheels to provide better off-road performance. They also have a more sturdy 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 are raving about: reversible seating, one-hand recline with adjustable leg rests, and zippered extensions for both canopies. It also has a parent cupholder. In addition, it comes with exciting new features such as the height-adjustable handle as well as quilted seats. It also has seven seating configurations and the difficult-to-find double rear facing position that allows kids to look at each one another while watching mom and dad.
One of the most appealing aspects about this stroller is that it's compatible with multiple infant car seat brands, which gives families a variety of options and prevents the stroller from being tied to one brand when it is about strollers that work with baby car seats. The Options Elite can be used with Graco and Britax infant car seats with an adapter that is universal that also works with the UPPAbaby Mesa and Baby Jogger City Select double car seats. It also has an additional adapter for parents who have twins, or wish to use two infant car seats.
It is not a side by side stroller, so it's more like it's a single stroller. It is able to be used in a variety of doorways and aisles. It's not as maneuverable 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 but it's not too heavy for most petite women to lift and maneuver.
The seats are quite comfortable for kids and there's a decent-sized storage basket. The canopy is large, too, and can be removed to provide some sun protection. It does not have much storage space for parents' necessities, which may be a concern for some families.
The stroller comes with an electronic foot brake and safety harness. It also comes with five-point harnesses 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. It's not folded with just one hand like some of the other top strollers, but it's still not difficult to do after a little practice.

Many reviewers are impressed with the ease with which Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to accommodate an additional seat. A few have noted that it is a bit difficult to attach an infant car seat to the integrated mounts, whereas attaching the second toddler seat is much easier and quicker. Evenflo provides the option of video chat for customers to ask questions or receive assistance with attaching car seats. The only other significant drawback for this stroller is its short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a great stroller for siblings who are similar in age. It is simple to put together right out from the box and unlike many sit-and stand options it is light at just 23 pounds.

Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it will accept a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat in the front. It is simple to secure your infant carrier by lowering the front seat before snapping it in.
