Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you're expecting twins or have two children of the same age. The best strollers offer numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and a rider board attachment.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family expands. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as the toddler seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It also has a long reach, so it's easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be set up so that one child sits in front of another or so that children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies are big and cover both fabric if desired. However, they don't offer enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. There's no way to see your kids.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can even be used with an additional bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It isn't easy to maneuver through crowded eateries and shops. It can be difficult to fold the seat back, especially if it is connected. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can support up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used right out of the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it is able to easily navigate all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another great feature is the capability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which is an excellent option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have an older child who is ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista Vista is easy to use and install. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also an YouTube video if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades such as a built-in foot rest and a new reclining seat, which promises unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design enhances its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it easy to push and swift to accelerate once you're on the road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires offer enough traction for any terrain. It can easily climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces such as streets in cities with aplomb. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule characteristics that make it the ideal jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that offers great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo window a top-quality harness system and a handbrake integrated with a perfectly in-tuned lever. It also comes with plenty of storage options, including inside-seat storage pockets and a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds with a zip-top cover.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of each child. The double stroller's standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zip-up basket in the rear offers ample storage space for your equipment. The handle is cushioned to allow for dad or mom. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride across any terrain. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were a trunk.
There are some downsides to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the top of our metrics. In addition, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. moved here isn't always easy to use, especially after prolonged usage. However, despite these issues, we still believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and secure for 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 a matter of seconds. It also stands upright to make transporting it simpler. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both kids. Its oversized canopy extends to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We also didn't like that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline, which is above average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier however, it has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This versatile stroller has three modes that include wagon (just for things), the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
