Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age the double stroller is a must. The top double strollers offer different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and a board attachment.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a decent reach so my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to have one child sit on top of the other, or to have children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are large and cover both seat fabrics when desired. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to see the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from a single 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 be used in conjunction with an additional bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle slopes and stairs well. It isn't easy to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat back, especially if it is attached. It's still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers designed for newborns. It can be used with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
double travel stroller is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy has an extender for the fabric that zips out, which adds extra coverage. The harness has also been modernized in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a strong suspension system, which allows it to navigate any terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be a handy option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have a child who is able to stand and walk, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up, although it does take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also a YouTube video if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades including a built-in feet rest and an updated reclined seat, which offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced to allow for better maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and swift to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension can handle abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) effortlessly, and the oversized wheels provide plenty of traction on even the most difficult terrains. It can easily climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces like city streets with precision. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are not a problem.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it a top jogger for parents. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, has an easy peekaboo feature as well as a premium harness system and a handbrake that is precisely tuned. It also comes with ample storage, including in-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds and comes with an open-top cover.
This Thule Jogger also comes with a bassinet, for strolling babies, and a double model to accommodate two kids. It can be used with car seat adapters so you can use the infant carrier of your child, and it features a simple one-handed fold to make it easy to transport and put away. It also comes in a green option with dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black hues to cut down on the use of water.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with the option of seating to meet the needs and preferences of every child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for add-on straps or bars, which many competing models require.
A large, zip-up basket in the rear offers ample storage for equipment. The handle is padded to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels provide a smooth ride over all terrains and the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This is based on how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if putting it in a trunk and for compatible double strollers install and take off an infant car seat.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and puts it closer to the top of our measurement. It also has a limited view when a car seat is placed in the rear. Additionally, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. However, despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. compact double stroller comes with an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This tandem stroller features reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and includes an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love that the cup holder sits very high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend to access it.
In our tipping test the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks, but it offers plenty of storage space for its price and comes with plenty of padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things), Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts 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 run with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
