Joovy - TwinRoo+

Keep your eye on Marketplace for the Joovy Twinroo. We used ours CONSTANTLY with our twins. It’s just a car seat holder thing, so I would have never spent the $200+ they ask for to buy it new, BUT it was used almost exclusively and nearly daily for the first year.

The Bugaboo Donkey is big but sturdy and we absolutely love it. It’s the only side by side that has the functionality of a single with the reversible seats. I love seeing my 5 month olds side by side in the bassinets and we are very much looking forward to putting them in the seats parent-facing then later world-facing. We also have a secondhand Joovy Twin Roo for just the car seats so we can navigate the pediatrician’s office and plan to get a cheap umbrella or single piece/tri-fold stroller when they are big enough to sit in the seats to use as a travel stroller/for quick trips later on. I think a lot of us have multiple strollers and I love having the Donkey as our primary.

I used to be minimalist but NOT in the twin stroller realm. For the first year, we did a snap-and-go, and I wouldn't have wanted to go without it (we did the Joovy Twin Roo). Perfect for doctors appointments, errands, etc. We did the Uppababy vista for pleasant walks outside. When they were out of infant seats, we switched to a cheap lightweight umbrella stroller for quick trips, stores, in and out of daycare. I just wanted something lightweight that wasn't a pain to store in the car or get in and out of the back 10 times a day, that would easily fit through a doorway. Then for bigger trips (parks, farmers market, outside events, dirt and grass, long walks) we have a sturdy wagon that we can throw them and all their gear in, and my older son can squash in there if he needs a break. My advice for you is to be open to the possibility that the one you choose won't end up working perfectly for you life and be ready to cut your losses, sell it, and try again. There were just so many factors that we couldn't have known would annoy us or wouldn't work until we actually put our kids in it and used it for a bit. I wasted too much time trying to optimize what we had, for something we use every single day and is a big quality of life purchase, and I should have just said ya know what? I actually hate this one. Next!

While they are still in infant car seats the Baby Trend Snap n Go or the Joovy Twin Roo+ are ideal for errands, doctor appointments, and pretty much anywhere that is paved/smooth. It’s very lightweight and easy to get in and out of the car. You can pick one up for super cheap on marketplace! We are almost exclusively using a Snap n Go with my 3 month olds. I plan on buying either a Donkey or a Zoe when they are bigger!

If the bassinets are something you're interested in and y'all are long walkers, the bugaboo donkey is pretty awesome. The ride and features are A+. We also click in nuna car seats for some trips... especially if we're going to be going somewhere with ADA sized doors. The bassinets are still helpful post 6 months because we sit them up like little princes on walks and outings with toys to check things out, and then can lay them down when they need a cat nap. We did end up getting two other strollers,😅. A snap and go Joovy Twin Roo for daycare drop off/pick up and a Zoe for travel. Embrace the level of shit you'll need/want for twins LOL.

This is our set up, too. We love our donkey for walks and adventures. The Joovy is exclusively daycare drop off/pickup. We just got a Zoe second hand as our travel stroller. It was the best option for us that it folds up easy into a bag if needed, didn't seem like toothpicks and hot wheels car wheels, but also not a million pounds.

I did the joovy twin with the car seat adapters and then at like 6 months old I just moved on to my baby jogger double stroller (which is the best thing ever). Honestly I didn’t go out with them much as babies other than doctors appointments and errands I generally had a second person with me until they could sit in a carriage.

Twin Roo+ 1. Carseats snap in the stroller 2. Fits through all doors 3. Lightweight 4. Easy to fold and put in the car 5. We found ours on Facebook marketplace for $40

I started with the cheap snap and go stroller. I think ours was the joovy roo plus. Then had a side by side for my main stroller. Just make sure to get a side by side that is no wider than a wheelchair so it can fit through most doors. With toddlers and preschoolers I loved the side by side, we had a city mini gt double. Never felt like I needed anything else with that

I picked up a used Joovy Twin Roo stroller frame for an awesome price. Tested it out in store with the infant car seats we wanted (Nuna Pipa line) and it worked great!

We started with a Joovy Roo+ so we could clip the car seat in. It made the most sense when they were still in infant seats. When they were a few months old we came across a Bob twin jogger at a yard sale and held onto that and used it as they got older. That wasn't great for navigating indoors though, so when they moved out of their infant seats we got a folding side by side Joovy so it fit in the trunk better.
