Are you ready to find out which are the best double universal car seat carriers on the market today?
For parents of twins, double universal car seat carriers (also called stroller frames) are an alternative to double strollers that can carry infant car seats. You still have the convenience of leaving your babies undisturbed while you clip their car seats onto the metal frame and turn it into a stroller, but without the bulkiness and expense of a tandem double stroller.

Best Double Universal Car Seat Carriers (Double Stroller Frames) of 2011/2012

TOP PICK:
Mountain Buggy Duo Travel System - you purchase the whole double stroller and have the choice to use the frame to carry a compatible infant car seat and a toddler seat, 2 bassinets or 2 full seats (I've been told that double car seat compatibility is coming soon).
GREAT CHOICE:
Stroll-Air My Duo Universal Adaptor - this is used with the Stroll-Air My Duo Twin/Double Stroller. You can make many different combinations, including two infant car seats.
*I had this stroller frame for my twins and loved it, but it was only useful for the first 6 months. I think it's a good choice if you need more time to decide which full-featured stroller you want to buy, since it is relatively inexpensive.
Where to Find the Best Deals
Although discount stores such as Target and Wal-Mart sell baby strollers for less than the baby specialty stores, the best deals can often be found on the Internet, since strollers are easy to ship and there's lots of competition.
So, once you've decided which double stroller frame you want to purchase - by doing research on the Internet - go to a store and try it out (if you can), then buy it online for a lot less.

Shipping can sometimes be expensive, so see if you can get an online coupon (a special discount) from websites such as EdealsEtc.com or FatWallet.com. The money you save doing this can then be used for something else.
