Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best strollers offer different ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as an attachment for a rider board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats, as well as an infant seat. This makes it an ideal option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that extends and retracts easily. It has a decent reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be set up to have one child sit in front of the other or to have children facing each the other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics when desired. They don't have much ventilation which makes them appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from the single seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle slopes and stairs well. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate in the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat, especially if it's connected. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is a storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for groceries and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is massive and can accommodate up to 100 pounds, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers designed for newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is about an inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy has an extender for the fabric that zips out, which provides additional coverage. The harness has been updated in that it does not require re-threading. double stroller with bassinet Push Chairs And Prams makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that allows it to take on any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are great to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
Another great feature is the capability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which is an ideal option for parents who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand up and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up, however it can take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also a YouTube video available for assistance if you require more information.

It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the open road.

It's able to climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces such as city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule qualities that make it a top jogger for parents.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with a variety of seating options to meet the preferences and needs of each child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclined backrests and canopies that are separate. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one rated infant car seat, in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket in the rear offers ample storage for equipment. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels provide a smooth ride over all terrains and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, then lift and carry the stroller as if putting it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and remove an infant car seat.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and puts it closer to the beast end of our measurement. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after prolonged usage. However, despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller ideal for families with 2 children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to go where you'd like to go. It has a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in just a few seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This tandem stroller features reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We were not happy that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over with only a 39-degree angle which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's also a little heavier than our top picks, however, it has a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has ample padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) or car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you jog with them. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
