Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The best ones offer numerous ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and an attachment for a rider board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can hold two infant car seats and a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a great reach, so it's easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be set up so that one child is in front of the other, or to have children facing each other. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies are large and cover both seat fabrics should you wish. They're not a lot of ventilation which makes them feel like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to see your children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from the single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate in crowded shops and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are tucked away. It's still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the top 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 infant car seats or bassets at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat has been raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been upgraded and no longer needs to be replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 inches in front and 11.5'' in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it can easily handle any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be attached to the front of the 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 old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, however it takes some time to remove all of the protective packaging. twin pushchairs are simple to follow and there is also an YouTube video should you require further assistance.

The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features such as a built-in foot rest and a new reclined seat, which offers the best comfort for children on long walks and jogging. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced for improved maneuverability.

It is able to easily move up kerbs and around tight spaces, like city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are no problem for it.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents various seating options to meet the needs and preferences of every child. The double stroller's standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed 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 add-on straps or bars, which many competing models require.
A comfortable three-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on all terrains and the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of 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 as well as engage and deengage brakes, raise the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were an actual trunk.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the beast end of our metric. In addition, it has limited visibility in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. Lastly, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues we still believe that this is a great stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It can also stand upright to make moving it easier. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both kids. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow however. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also a little heavier than our top picks however, it has an adequate amount of storage space for the price and has a decent amount of padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) or car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and one year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It's black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over a decade.
