Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The top double strollers provide different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for boards.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Push Chairs And Prams is the ideal twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it is easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to have one child sit on top of the other or have children face each other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics should you wish to. They don't have much ventilation and can be like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to look at your children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. It 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 easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver through crowded stores and restaurants. It can also be difficult to fold up, especially when seats are connected. It's still small and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is big and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the top twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a range of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at the same time.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now elevated by a half inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and doesn't require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5'' in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bike can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child who is able to stand and walk, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up, however it does take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there is a YouTube video to help if you require assistance understanding the instructions.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed for families who are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and a reclined seat, which offers unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced for improved mobility.

Its suspension is able to cope with sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires offer enough traction for any terrain.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are completely independent. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for additional straps and bars, as many competing models require.
A large, zipper-accessible basket on the rear offers ample storage space for the equipment. The handle is padded to accommodate mom or dad. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride across any terrain. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks when you tap it, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the top of our metrics. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. The front lock wheels swivel and can be rotated to allow smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with a compact umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds and can be set up to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This tandem stroller comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented to let in more airflow however. We also didn't like that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend to reach it.
In our tipping-test in our tipping-test, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than average for the double pram. It's also a little heavier than our top picks but it does provide plenty of storage space at a reasonable price and comes with a decent amount of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things) as well as Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for infants. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you jog with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
