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 offer different ways to ride your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for a board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats as well as a toddler seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a decent reach so my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when fully laden.
Seats are spacious, and can be set up in a way that one child is on top of the other or so that children face each one. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics should you wish to. However, they don't provide much ventilation so they can feel like a small oven on hot days. There's no way to see your children.
This stroller has a unique feature that lets it grow with your family. It can go from a single seat (Mono Mode) to a double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can also be used with an additional car seat or bassinet for newborns.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It can be difficult to maneuver around busy restaurants and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat back, especially if it is attached. It is still fairly small, however, and does fit through most doors easily.
There is double buggy that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new babies. It can be used with a variety 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 allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
Compared to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest is more space and the canopy is equipped with an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. The harness has also been upgraded and no longer needs to be re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a strong suspension system that allows it to take on any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle paths and grassy hills.
Another great feature is the ability to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be an ideal option for parents who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up, however it takes some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there is an YouTube video if you need assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of the popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's designed to attract modern families that value style, sustainability and adventure. It features exciting upgrades with a built-in knee rest and a new reclining seat that promises unparalleled comfort for children on long walks and jogging. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced to allow for better mobility.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able to take on sudden changes in the surface (such as pavement to grass) and the large tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It is able to easily climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces, like city streets. It's also easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that gives parents plenty of comfort and convenience. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, has an easy peekaboo as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that's perfectly tuned. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat and a massive cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling infants, and a double version that can fit two children. It also has car seat adapters, meaning that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has an easy-folding system that can be folded with one hand to make it easier to transport or store. It's also a green choice because it uses dyed-solution fabric in black color options.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for adding straps and bars, as other models that require.
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across any terrain, and the one-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller and 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 remove an infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this class of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. Additionally the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. Despite these issues, we consider this to be an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also has a compact umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its light aluminum frame with foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers we tested.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We would prefer to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We were not happy that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than average for the double pram. It's a bit heavier, but offers more storage for the price. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for stuff) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them. They should also be 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
