Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two kids close in age the double stroller is a must. The best ones provide numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and an attachment for a rider board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well a toddler car seat, making it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that can be extended and retracted easily. It has a long reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when fully laden.
The seats are large and can be placed to have one child sit behind the other or to have the children face each other. They can also recline independently from one another. The canopies cover both seat fabrics should you wish to. But they don't have much ventilation so they can be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from the single seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and is able to handle steps and slopes well. double pushchair from birth is that it can be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It can also be difficult to fold, especially when seats are connected. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the top twin strollers for new borns. It can be used 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. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at once.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is about an inch higher, the footrest is more space, and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and adds extra coverage. The harness has also been modernized - it no longer needs to be replaced, making 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 handle any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are great for navigating gravel and rocks and the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bike can be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have an older child who is able to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit an additional child with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up, although it can take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also an YouTube video if you need more help.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents the option of seating to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The two seats in the double stroller come with reclined backrests and canopies that are separate. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one baby car seat in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for your 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 a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and puts it closer to the beast end of our metrics. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the back. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after long-term use. Despite these issues we still believe that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with two kids. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy surfaces which makes it easy to travel wherever you'd like to go. It comes with a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in just a few seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it simpler. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to provide maximum 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 more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact that the cup holder is very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier and has more storage space 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 the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) 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, and one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
