Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or have two children of the same age. The top double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children including side by side seating and an attachment for a board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats as well as a toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that extends and retracts easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it's easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
The seats are large and can be positioned to place one child in front of the other or to have children face each other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. There's no way to look at your children.
This stroller comes with an exclusive feature that allows it to expand with you and your family. It can convert from a single seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can even be used in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for infants.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes with ease. The only issue is that it could be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It can also be difficult to fold, especially when seats are attached. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is an extra storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. It is great for grocery shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket under 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 one of the best twin strollers designed for newborns. It is compatible with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. 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 redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized, as 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 robust suspension system that allows it to navigate any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are perfect to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks or grassy hills.
Another great feature is the capability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, making it an excellent option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have an older child who is getting ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is simple to use and set up, however it does take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also an YouTube video available for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of this popular stroller that is designed to appeal to modern families who are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades such as a built-in foot rest and a reclined seat that promises the best comfort for children on long jogging and walks. Its sleek, agile design also improves its mobility.
It is incredibly light, making it simple to drive and swift to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires are able to withstand any terrain. It's able to climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces, like city streets. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that gives parents a great deal of comfort and ease. It has a large canopy that offers excellent sun protection and a convenient peekaboo window a high-quality harness system, and a handbrake integrated with a perfectly in-tuned lever. It also comes with plenty of storage, including in-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds, with an open-top cover.
double buggy comes with a bassinet to accommodate strolling infants, and a double version that can hold two children. It is compatible with car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child, and it has a quick fold that's one-handed to make it easy to transport or put away. It's also a green choice, using dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black hues to cut down on water consumption.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that can be adjusted to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. 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 additional straps or bars, which other models that require.
A large, zip-up basket in the rear offers ample storage space for your equipment. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across any terrain, while the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This is based on how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes the ease with which it is to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, raise the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. It also is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues, we still consider this to be a great double stroller that will be able to keep your family together for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in just a few seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making 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 stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection. It comes with a peekaboo view window for easy monitoring. We would like to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than the norm for the double pram. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, however, it has an adequate amount of storage space for the price and has ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and features three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. double pushchair has been a journalist and parent for more than 10 years.
