Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two kids close in age A double stroller is a must. The best ones provide numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and the ability to attach a rider's board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that retracts and extends easily. It also has a great reach, making it easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be positioned in a way that one child is behind another or so that children face each the other. They can also recline in a different way from each other. The canopies are big and cover both fabric if desired. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them appear like a small oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to view 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 convertible double stroller that can do this! It can even be used with a second bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver around busy stores and restaurants. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when seats are tucked away. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there is an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is ideal for shopping and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is big and can hold up 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new newborns. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
double pushchair has reasonably large wheels (8'' in front and 11.5'' in the back) with strong suspension, which means it is able to easily navigate all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bike can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who do not want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, however it can take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also a YouTube video to help for assistance if you require more information.

double pram and pushchair
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 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 other models that require.
A large, zipper-accessible basket on the rear offers ample storage space for your equipment. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller ensure a smooth ride on all terrains. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were an actual trunk.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car-seat is installed in the back. Additionally the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after long-term use. Despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and lock for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also has an umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. 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 ensure the best comfort for both children. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier, but offers more storage for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This versatile stroller has three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for stuff) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one infant car seat, however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be 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.
