Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age, a double stroller is a must. The top double strollers provide different ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families that are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a good reach so my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be placed so that one child is on top of the other or to have children face each one. Pushchairs And Prams can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. However, they don't offer adequate ventilation, so they could be like a tiny oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to look at your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from the single seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle slopes and stairs well. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It is also difficult to fold, particularly when seats are attached. It's still pretty compact though, and it does fit through most doors easily.
There is a storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly borns. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is about an inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with a zip-out fabric extender that gives extra coverage. The harness is also modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8'' in front and 11.5'' in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to easily navigate all kinds of terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand up and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, though it takes some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's an YouTube video if you need help understanding them.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the newest version of this popular all-terrain stroller and it's designed to draw the attention of modern families who prioritize style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements with a built-in knee rest and updated reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children on long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design enhances its maneuverability.
It is incredibly light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the large tires offer enough traction for any terrain. It is able to easily climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces such as city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are not a problem.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it a top jogger for parents. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent sun protection and an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is integrated with a an extremely tuned lever. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat as well as a huge cargo bag that can accommodate up to 15 pounds.

It has car seat adapters, meaning that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with a one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also a green choice, using solution-dyed fabrics in its black hues to cut down on the use of water.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller have reclined backrests and canopies that are independent. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure an easy ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller and to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and remove the infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the top of our measurement. It also has a limited view when a car-seat is installed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, especially after prolonged usage. Despite these issues, we still believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will be able to 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 ideal for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in a matter of seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making moving it easier. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests for the best comfort for both children. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline 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 plenty of storage space at a reasonable price and comes with a decent amount of padding on the seats and handle.
This versatile stroller has three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them and one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for more than a decade. She has written about travel, shopping, food, tech and parenting.
