The oversized storage basket is roomy enough to accommodate all terrain double buggy your items and includes a handy place to store your purse or phone, as well as four cup holders.
It isn't easy to fold, especially if you are holding the handlebar with one hand while holding the child's seat in the second. You'll also need to remove the rear seat from its base in order to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double strollers we tried. Thankfully, the company has changed the Vista to accommodate its new car seat adapters. The new version, which will be launched in April 2023) will work with both the original and the updated adapters in both configurations, and it will even fold with two of the adapters at the same time.
The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our most popular twin stroller frame for infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and both babies can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It is a favourite for parents who drive small vehicles. The clever design minimizes the overall length to ensure that it fits better in some trunks. The seats are comfortable and cushioned and can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. The buckles were among the most simple to tighten and unwind in our tests.
The only drawback of the TwinRoo+ is its bench seat, which is designed for a child that is at or above 2 1/2. It's not suited for twins or siblings with similar age. But it's still an excellent option for families who wish to run and its robust structure means that the frame will not wear out as fast as some other tandems we've tried.
Wheel Suspension
The suspension of the wheel of a twin stroller equipped with car seats is an important feature as it helps make it more comfortable for your children. This is particularly true if you are walking over bumps and rough terrain. Strollers with suspension have larger wheels, and usually have more shocks than those that do not.

The Baby Trend Sit & Stand double stroller, for example is a highly rated option and compatible with car seats. This allows parents to carry their children comfortably from their vehicle to the stroller.
