Parents with twins or other multiples will require a double stroller that is able to hold two car seats for infants at once. The TwinRoo+ is a tough, frame stroller that takes 23 different car seat models (car seats and adapters sold separately).
The car also comes with a large storage basket, cup holders for parents, and seats that can be reversible, giving the most legroom in its class between the two seats.
The Baby Trend(r) Universal Double Snap-N-Go(r)
The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Pushchair: Lightweight Stroller Trend(r) Universal Double Snap-N-Go (r) is an excellent stroller that fits most infant car seats. It has a large storage basket and parent tray with dual cup holders. The stroller is light and folds easily for storage or travel. It's among our easiest strollers to maneuver and has a good side-by-side design. It was not as efficient in our jog tests, and had difficulty with higher curbs. The swivel wheels on the front don't seem to be able to catch obstacles.
This stroller can be used with all major brands of infant car seats, and the adapters are easy to install. The stroller can only accommodate one infant car seat at a given time, so parents with twins will have to look for a different way to use their infant car seats simultaneously. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double as well as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double have impressive scores for their ability to hold two infant car seats at the same time.
While the Baby Trend is easy to use and has a nice basket, it is not quite as good in our ride comfort metric. The stroller isn't equipped with shocks that are able to absorb road bumps and vibrations, which can be difficult for little passengers. Also, the lack of a reclined seat, children will feel every bump in the road. This isn't an issue as the passengers get older, but it's a crucial thing to consider if your kids are infants or young toddlers.
The frame stroller weighs less than 40 lbs. It is heavy with cargo and passengers. 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 is a lighter option for jogging and weighs 41 pounds. It can still be difficult to lift and carry but it has a designated handle to help you do this. The jog strollers benefit from having larger wheels for more 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 comes with all the features parents appreciate: reversible seats one-hand recline, adjustable leg rests, zippered extensions to both canopies, and a cupholder for the parent. Plus, it has some amazing new features, like the height-adjustable handle as well as quilted seats. It comes with seven different types of seating, including the difficult to find double-rear-facing seat. This lets kids look at each other while watching their parents.
The stroller's compatibility to multiple infant car seats is among its greatest features. It provides families with more options and keeps them from being confined to one brand of stroller that is 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 car seats. It also has a second adapter for those who have twins or want to use two infant car seats.
It's not a stroller that is side-by-side, so it has the feel of one stroller and can be used in all aisles and doors with ease. It's not as easy to maneuver as a jogging stroller however it's still a great choice for shopping trips and road excursions. It weighs a bit more than other double strollers but it's not too heavy for petite women to lift and move.
The seats are comfortable for kids and the storage basket is of a decent size. The canopy is also large and can be removed for more sun protection. However, it doesn't have a large storage space for parent necessities and some families may find difficult to access.
This stroller has a foot brake, a safety harness and a five point harness for each child. The front wheels can be locked for extra security and the handles are ergonomically designed. It's easy to fold and stands up when folded. It doesn't fold with one hand like some of the top strollers in this list however it's easy to fold after a bit of practice.
The Evenflo Pivot Double
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly favorite that can grow with your family, providing car seat compatibility and reversible seating within an elegant modern stroller frame. The stroller is easy to operate and features a one-handed fold that allows for a self-stand. It's a great deal for the price, especially considering its low cost. It has a more substantial feel than the other models, and has smaller wheels that make it difficult to push off-road in tight turns, or through narrow doorways.
This stroller can be used with two infant car seats or toddler seats sold separately. There is no need for adapters. Adding a second seat expands the stroller frame in minutes without tools or other components, and it can be used in a variety of configurations in the USA to accommodate toddler and infant seats at different heights in both parent-facing or forward-facing modes. The second seat could be used to hold baby at a comfortable angle in infant mode, or for older kids, in stroller mode with three reclining positions as well as a 5-position adjustable footrest.
The large, oversized basket and the back-and-front-accessible pocket increase the value of this stroller. Moreover, the padded, contoured seat ensures the most comfortable ride for passengers. An extendable canopy keeps children safe from the sun, and an open window allows parents to monitor their little ones.
The Stroller Rider Board accessory can be added to create a tandem, so that siblings can ride together or as an alternative for 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.
The majority of reviewers like how easily the Pivot Xpand double stroller expands to include an additional seat. Some reviewers have mentioned that attaching an infant car seat to the integrated mounts can be a challenge, however attaching the second toddler's car seat is much more simple and quick. Evenflo has the option of video chat for customers to ask questions and receive assistance with fitting car seats that is a nice addition. The only other issue is the relatively short warranty.
The Jeep Bravo For 2
The Bravo For 2 is a excellent stroller for children with siblings who are in the same age group. It's easy to assemble right out of the box and, unlike other sit-and stand options it is relatively light at under 23 pounds. The seats can recline in multiple positions to allow your infant or toddler to snooze and there is even an extra footrest for older children who require it. The padded handlebar is placed so that older children can grasp it while standing, even if they are wearing gloves. This feature has been mentioned by many parents as the reason why it is more secure than many of its competitors.
The stroller is padded with a back seat that can accommodate the child up to two years old. This lets you keep your infant rear-facing for longer. This is a great advantage for parents following the #TurnAfter2 initiative, which encourages babies and children to keep their rears facing until they reach the age of two years old. The seat is easy to buckle and features the same five-point harness as the front seat.
Another plus for the Bravo For 2 is that it can be used with a Chicco KeyFit or Fit2 car seat on the front. Simply push down the front seat, then snap into your infant carrier and listen for the sound that indicates it is secure. This makes it one of the most versatile double strollers you can find. It also helps to avoid purchasing a stroller which is only used once and will end up in your garage, or donated to a second-hand Shop Double Pushchairs for Twins and Siblings.
The only issue with this stroller is that it doesn't come with a parent tray or cup holders, and the storage space is limited. It is a great option for families with a child who is walking all the way and a child in a car seat on the to the front. It is also an excellent option for traveling as it can fold up into an incredibly compact size that can be gate-checked on an airplane or put away in your trunk.
