Double stroller and car seat for twins

For parents with multiple kids, getting your hands on a reliable double stroller can be a godsend. With a double stroller, you can relish the convenience of being able to bring both kids outside without juggling multiple pushchairs. The world of double strollers is quite diverse; they come in numerous configurations and styles. If you’re looking for a quality double stroller, Mothercare is here to help. Shop online or visit any of our outlets in Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Strollers

How do I choose a double stroller?

Double strollers for infants and toddlers come in different shapes and sizes, so consider how you’ll be using the stroller. If you’re braving public transportation, choosing one that’s lightweight and compact is ideal. Conversely, if you travel by car, you may want to find one that has a car seat attachment. If you plan to bring your kids along for a short getaway from the city, be sure to select one that is durable, especially if air travel is part of the itinerary.

Your kids’ ages and sizes also play a part in your decision. If your little ones are 2-4 years apart, a side-by-side or double-wide stroller is ideal. If your children have larger age differences, pick a double stroller that has a higher weight limit (more than 25kg) so that you can stretch its lifespan.

Are double strollers worth the investment?

As with most baby products, double strollers do not come cheap. Purchasing one might only come after a long talk with your partner and multiple nights of deliberating whether it’s worth the investment. A double stroller is worth it for parents who need to walk around a lot or can’t physically carry a little one for long periods of time.

If you and your partner can get by with other options like wearing your smaller child in a carrier and having the older child on a more affordable pushchair, double strollers may not be on the top of your priority list.

Where can I buy a double stroller in Singapore?

Having twins is hard enough. Make it as easy as possible during the first year (more or less) by getting a lightweight stroller frame so you can simply plop your car seats (with babies in ’em, obviously) into the stroller.

And that’s all.

Keep it simple in the early days so you aren’t overwhelmed.

Note that there are many other full-sized, all-terrain strollers that also take two infant seats at the same time, such as the City Select, Phil & Teds Sport, Mountain Buggy Duet, Bugaboo Donkey, the Bumbleride Indie Twin, and others. While these all-terrain strollers ride a lot better, they are also MUCH bulkier and heavier (20 lbs vs. 35 lbs), which can be overwhelming for new twin moms, especially for those who just had a c-section (right?).

Thus, most twin moms recommend keeping it simple with one of the best car seat strollers for twins. You can upgrade to your heavier-duty, more capable stroller later, when you have a bit more gusto and a better understanding of what your needs truly are (usually around 9 months or so).

Best Car Seat Strollers for Twins

$ — Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go ~ $119 — Economy Pick – Lightest frame stroller for twins, but car seats must be “strapped” in (not as secure as being “snapped in”, like the Joovy TwinRoo+). But still highly rated. 

$$ — Joovy TwinRoo+ ~ $173 — Editor’s Pick – Infant car seats can face same or opposite directions. Car seats snap in, but not as compact as the Snap-N-Go – make sure it fits in your trunk.

1. Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go ~ Economy Pick

Price: ~ $119
Weight: 18.13 lbs

At a mere 18 lbs and 39 inches long (yes, 6 lbs lighter and 2.5 inches shorter than the Joovy TwinRoo+), the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a go-to stroller frame for twins. The newer version of the Snap-N-Go (the “stadium seating” version — the flat version has been discontinued) accepts all brands of car seats. It’s important to know before you buy, however, that unlike the previous Double SNG model, car seats no longer “snap” into the frame. On this version, the frames are bigger and cradle each car seat. You can strap car seats into each frame to ensure they stay in place.

When I first purchased my Double SNG for my twins back in 2016, I was definitely surprised (and concerned) that my two Chicco Keyfit 30 car seats didn’t snap securely into the frame. To me, the seats seemed too wobbly, and I was worried that if we went over a bump, they would tip over and fall out of the frame.

But many other twin moms who owned the Double SNG reassured me that this wouldn’t happen, and that the convenience of the SNG would definitely outweigh this downside. Sure enough, it did. We used this Double SNG for almost a year with no issues — it was an awesome double stroller frame to keep in the car and pull out as needed for trips to the grocery store, mall, zoo, etc.

That said, strapping the seats in doesn’t feel as secure, AND it’s a bit of a pain when compared to the ease of clicking them into Joovy TwinRoo+. That’s the major advantage the Joovy TwinRoo+ has.

People say:

“Works okay with Chicco car seats, but they don’t snap in place but are held down with a belt.”

“This one will hold my Graco SnugRides securely, but the do not lock/click into it.”

Nonetheless, owners of this stroller frame generally like it. It‘s very lightweight (the lightest of the twin frames, in fact) and easy to fold. The Double Snap-N-Go also has two cup holders and a large storage basket, although it can be hard to access once the car seats are in place.

This stroller is small compared to other doubles, but will still take up the entire trunk of a smaller car.

“The frame is very light and fits easily into the trunk of our Camry Hybrid.”

“Fits well in my Chevy Aveo hatchback.”

Bottom Line: The economy Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is a perfectly fine solution that’s been around for years and can often be found secondhand. It’s shorter AND lighter than the Joovy TwinRoo+, but the car seats have to be strapped into place.

2. Joovy TwinRoo+ — Editor’s Pick

Price: $173
Weight: 24.4 lbs

In the infant twin stroller frame category, the Joovy TwinRoo+ is a favorite for those that who don’t drive a compact car (it’s too long for some compact trunks).

Cleverly designed to hold two infant car seats facing out to the side, Joovy was able to shorten the overall length (41.5″ long) of the stroller, which in turn allows for greater maneuverability.

The TwinRoo+ allows both car seats to face the same direction (or opposite). This fixes one of the big complaints parents had with the previous version, which was that one baby was always in the sun.

At 24.4 lbs, the Joovy TwinRoo+ is a bit heavier than the Baby Trend Double Snap N Go. It’s also a bit longer (2.5″) than the Baby Trend Double Snap N Go. We highly recommend trying out the stroller in your trunk — or at least measure it to make sure it fits — before you buy.

Here’s what twin mommies say:

“It’s still not terribly huge. I have a 2008 Altima Hybrid with a small trunk and it fits!”

“It’s very easy to maneuver, light and not bulky at all.”

“If I were a billionaire, I’d buy one of these for every mom who has twins. It’s that awesome.”

“The cup holders are perfect because they hold two bottles of milk — one for each baby.”

The Joovy TwinRoo+ has a large under basket for storage. However, like all stroller frames this style, it may be difficult to access larger items with car seats in place.

Car Seat Compatibility for the TwinRoo+

Essentially, the TwinRoo+ fits the “newer” infant car seats. Just remember that you’ll need an adapter for each and they are brand specific.

*Check out the Joovy Car Seat Compatibility Chart for a full listing of car seats that work with the Twin Roo+.

• Peg Perego® Primo Viaggio 4-35 (adapter: purchase here)

Customer service for Joovy, a small family-owned company, is top-notch, as noted by many reviewers (Baby Trend’s is not!).

Bottom Line: If your twins’ car seats are on the list above and you don’t drive a tiny car, definitely check out the Joovy TwinRoo+.
