Snap-N-Go EX Universal Infant Car Seat Carrier

We have a 4 year old and 8 month olds twins! We did a baby trend stroller frame and just clicked their car seats into it. Didn’t have much need for bassinets tbh. The other week I had a twin mom approach me and recommend the Zoe twin for when they’re bigger bc it’s so light and comfortable. Just ordered that one 🤞. We’re still using the baby trend at 8 months as I walk my 4 year old into school everyday. I wanted a side by side for walks, trips around town, the store, etc. We also got a wonderfold for all 3– trips to the park, zoo, theme parks, etc. 4 yr old was begging for a wagon so he could ride with them. The Zoe plus the wonderfold luxe was $1700 including accessories.

We just gave birth to our twins but we're going to use a few conbos. We will use the BabyTrend snap and go for the car seats when we're just taking the twins or the snap and go plus a small travel stroller for our toddler when both parents go out. We already had the Vista with the toddler seat and bassinet. We will start by putting both babies in the bassinet and our toddler in the seat. We also bought the ride along board and will start getting our toddler used to it. That way we'll be able to use one stroller for all three. I couldn't justify buying the car seat adaptors.

Ummm i definitely went the non-fancy running stroller route. I bought a Babytrend stroller for like $100 or $150 on Amazon that comes with a car seat. I’ve used it hundreds of times and plan to continue with my newborn when she’s old enough. As for using a walking stroller, in addition to what’s already been mentioned, they shake if you push too fast and you’ll end up kicking the metal rim of the basket/bar when you’re running.

I’m a NICU based CPST and I would avoid any and all BabyTrend car seats. They all have complicated rules, confusing manuals (even more than the basic level of confusing for any car seats/baby gear) and are generally very difficult to use correctly. In the same price range, Graco, Evenflo, or Chicco make a much more user friendly product, and car seats have to be used properly to be effective- so if any given seat is too complicated for the average parent to use properly then it’s not a car seat I’m going to recommend. For other items they’re a fine brand. Their universal snap and go stroller is super popular around here, and their other strollers are decent quality for the price as well - they won’t feel like a premium brand (BOB, Uppababy, etc) but they do the job well. And their play pens etc are on par with others in the same price range.

in my opinion, the best stroller for twins is… multiple strollers. options will be key. the first few months, i used a baby trend double snap n go with the car seats. babies can’t sit up, we had medical equipment, it was the best fit for my life. it’s not wide but it is LONG it’s like driving a bus. after they could sit up, i like a side by side- i use a joovy scooter x2. most side by side doubles are NOT double wide- they’re more like 1.5. they’re also made to ADA specifications and should fit through all doors that are ADA compliant and wide enough for wheelchairs. IMO side by sides are easier to handle and maneuver than a tandem stroller. i also have single strollers for when i have one baby for an appointment or when i have two adults and we want to each take one. i got a single snap n go on marketplace for a car seat, and two separate umbrella strollers for older babies. truthfully though, if we’re not separating the babies i just use the double.

i know not everyone has a robust secondhand market, but i did get most of our strollers secondhand to save money. double snap n go was $40, single snap n go was 15, both umbrellas were under $30 each. the big double i did purchase new, which was a good plan for us because its the most used out of them all.

you need a double stroller. you have two babies, you need a stroller seat for each of them. your ideal stroller setup will likely be multiple strollers, as your needs will change throughout the next couple years. personally i used a baby trend snap n go with the car seats for the first 8-10 months. then we switched to a joovy scooter x2. i also had a single snap n go(for when i had one baby at specialist appointments and took the other to grandma) and i have a single umbrella stroller for the same reason now that they’re out of the infant car seats. i’ve been considering getting a double umbrella stroller so it takes up less trunk space, but right now i’m not ready to give up stroller storage lol

I’m due in a few weeks. I wasn’t sure what to do but didn’t wanna be buying 5 different strollers. We got the baby trend stroller frame, especially for the first few months bc it’ll be winter and I don’t imagine I will be going out much except for doctor appointments and maybe like random strolls around the mall or something. We went to a baby store because I wanted to see the options in person for when we are ready to transition to a more practical stroller for spring time and when babies are bigger. We really fell in love with the same one you got - cybex gazelle. We tried a side by side and just didn’t like the feel and the packing of it. So I think we are gonna stick with the gazelle bc it was just so much easier for us to pack up by ourselves and also just was so much smoother. Maybe when babies are much older, we will consider a side by side. I think it’s all about personal preference. What works for one may not work for another!

We have one of each! A tandem (BabyTrend Snap and Go) for on the go for the car seats, and a side by side (BumbleRide Indie Twin) for walks around town. :)
