Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two kids close in age A double stroller is essential. The top double strollers provide numerous ways to ride your children, including 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 accommodate two infant car seats, as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It has a long reach, so my husband who is 6'1", can easily push it when it is full of weight.
The seats are large and can be set up to place one child in front of the other or have children facing each the other. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies cover both seat fabrics, if desired. But they don't have adequate ventilation, so they could be like a tiny oven on hot days. There's no way to see your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can also be used with an additional bassinet or car seat for babies.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes with ease. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded eateries and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are tucked away. It's still quite compact, and does fit through most doors easily.
There is a storage bin that is attached to the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other items. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly babies. It is compatible with a range of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with a zip-out fabric extender that provides additional coverage. The harness has been updated since it doesn't require re-threading. double travel buggy makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 inches in front and 11.5'' in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it can easily handle any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are great for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. And if you have a child who is getting ready to stand and walk, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is easy to use and set up, however it takes some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also a YouTube video available if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of this popular all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements that include a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children on long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design has also been enhanced to allow for better mobility.
It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and quick to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension can handle abrupt changes in surface (like pavement to grass) easily and the large wheels offer plenty of traction on even the most difficult terrains. It can climb kerbs without difficulty and can turn in tight spaces such as city streets with precision. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are no problem for it.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents an abundance of comfort and convenience. It has a large canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake integrated with an incredibly tuned lever. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets on the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also comes with a bassinet, for babies who need to stroll and a double version that can accommodate 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 and put away. It's also a green choice because it uses dyed-solution fabric in black color options.
Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopies. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat 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 basket offers plenty of storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across all types of terrain and the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller, 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 double strollers that are compatible install and remove the infant car seat.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds 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 back. In addition, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. Despite these issues, we consider this to be a great stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel lock wheels can be rotated to allow smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in just a few seconds. It also stands upright to make moving it easier. Its light aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests to provide the best comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, though. We also didn't like that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of incline, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also a little heavier than our top picks but it offers plenty of storage space at a reasonable cost and has ample padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and features 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 accommodate one infant car seat, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them and 1 year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
