Carseat walks

I have 3 month old twins and daily walks are my biggest lifesaver at the minute ( also have a dog so a non negotiable!)

I've been working on getting them more used to the carry cot on the pram but they just never sleep as long as when they're in their car seats (which lie flat to 157°) and end up with at least one crying.

I also can't really see myself being able to go out on an errand solo anywhere knowing they will likely both fuss if in the carrycot whereas I'm sort of guaranteed a sleep in the carseats.

My question is how bad is it to do walks with them in the car seats? Is the risk just positional asphysixation during the journey or can it make them more susceptible to SIDS in general?

I've tried to look into this more but so many reputable sources just say 'not recommended as it increases SIDS'
