The company has upgraded its Vista stroller to work with their 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 positions and it will even fold with two adapters connected at once.

But it's still an excellent choice for families who want to jog and its sturdy construction means that the frame will not wear out as fast as other tandems we've tested.

Seating
If you're thinking of using car seats for twins who are infants, a stroller that accepts these will be crucial. A majority of our top-scoring double strollers come with car seat adapters, which makes them compatible with the most popular brands. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers compatible with multiple infant car seats since you can pick from a wide range of prices and not be shackled into one brand.

A twin stroller with a side-by-side arrangement is more traditional and simpler to maneuver, especially in restricted spaces and over curbs.

Additionally, the various heights of seats can result in sibling rivalries, so we recommend that you choose a tandem stroller only when your kids are close in age.
