Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two kids close in age the double stroller is essential. The
best double buggy double strollers offer different ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats, as well as a toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal
twin stroller for families that are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a good reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be positioned in a way that one child is behind another or so that the children are facing each other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are huge, covering both seat fabrics when desired. However, they don't offer enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to see the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from the single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can also be used in conjunction with an additional car seat or bassinet for infants.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle slopes and stairs well. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded eateries and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are attached. It's still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers 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 straight out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been updated and no longer needs to be changed out, making it simple 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 handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. The rear wheels are more grippy to handle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat. And if you have an older child who is able to stand, the Vista can also accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and to install. However, it takes some time to take off all 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.

Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller come with reclined backrests and canopies that are completely independent. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable three-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer smooth riding on any terrain. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks when you tap it, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for 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 how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, and then lift the folded stroller and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is placed in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these issues we still think that this is a great stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A
lightweight twin buggy, budget-friendly stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to maneuver on flat surfaces, and lock for stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to travel wherever you'd like to go. It also features a compact umbrella fold that folds down in seconds and stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers that we have tested.
This tandem stroller comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented for extra airflow, though. 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 in order to reach it.
In our tipping-test, the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than average for double prams. It's also heavier than our top picks however, it has an adequate amount of storage space for the cost and has a decent amount of padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and features three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff), the jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children) or car seat mode. It can be used with one infant car seat, however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them and 1 year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
