Among moms and dads of multiples, the right and best stroller is a matter of great debate. Tandem or side-by-side? Graco, Chicco, Kolcraft? $200 or $800?
How about none of the above Stark Raving Mad release , at least not while your little munchkins still fit in infant seats. That’s because Baby Trend expanded on their fabulous Snap-n-Go and created the — wait for it — DOUBLE Snap-n-Go for parents of twinfants.
If you dig around on enough forums, you’ll eventually find out how much parents value this stroller. 99.99% of people who use it are heartbroken when their babies outgrow their infant seats because it means they have to give up their Snap-n-Go.
So here’s how it works:
- Secure baby in infant seat.
- Place infant seat on Baby Trend Double Snap-n-Go.
- Listen for the “snap.”
- N go.
The same mechanisms that secure the infant seat to its car seat base are the ones that snap on this stroller. This means you never have to waken a sleeping baby to move from car to stroller or vice versa.
Folding and unfolding the stroller is pretty easy, requiring a simple pull of a latch and a squeeze of a handle. A little flick of the wrist and your Double Snap-n-Go is a pile of wheels and bars. Inspector Gadget would be proud.
Now, the important questions: 1) How big/clunky/heavy is this thing? 2) How much storage does it have? and 3) Can I steer around Wal-Mart with it?
- Let’s face it. There’s no such thing as a sleek, lightweight, tiny double stroller (and if you know of one that doesn’t cost $700, please contact me ASAP because I’m not sure I believe you). But as far as double strollers go, the Double Snap-n-Go is totally manageable. Folded, it’s probably eight inches thick and three feet long. (That’s what she said). It weighs about as much as a gallon of milk (or vodka, depending on what day of the week it is).
- Storage? Yeah, this baby has storage. You can fit two fridge-packs of Coke, a loaf of bread, some eggs, bacon, ground beef, and chips in the  storage compartment. The one funky thing is that, with the infant seats snapped in, you do have to maneuver around them to get all that crap in the storage compartment, but it is doable.
- You’ll do fine steering around Wal-Mart, Goodwill and Kohl’s, too. Once you get the hang of the physics of this limousine of a stroller, you’ll mostly be able to twist and turn around tight corners without bashing the wheels into things. But yes, it does take some getting used to.
The stroller also has two cupholders and a little lidded storage thing that conveniently fits a credit card, ID and Blackberry-sized cell phone.
The Double Snap-n-Go fits most common infant seats including Graco, Britax, Evenflo, Peg Perego and Edie Bauer. I use the Graco Snugride and they fit perfectly.
Among the biggest selling points? The Double Snap-n-Go runs just under $100, new. (You can sometimes find them used on Craig’s List, but they’re at a premium.)
There are some drawbacks to note. You cannot adjust the car seat straps while the seat is snapped in. So, if you want to remove babies from the seats without snapping their arms off, you have to take the seats off the stroller.
Also, there is little to no style here. Unless your car seats match the snooze-inducing navy or black frame, you’re just going to have to look like a hot mess. Deal with it. This is about function, not form.

I love this review.
It almost makes me want two babies.
LOL I love it too, but it does NOT make me want two babies. I do love my single snap-n-go that I got on Craigslist for $20. It’s so much lighter and smaller than my friend’s huge strollers that came with the ‘travel system’.
I can’t believe we spend almost $300 on a baby jogger plus all those stupid accessories, when all we use now is the snap n go (which, by the way, cost as much as the stinky car seat adapter for the baby jogger city mini)
