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 top double strollers offer different ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for a board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats and the toddler seat. This makes it an ideal option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families that need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that extends and retracts easily. It has a good reach, so my husband who is 6'1" is able to easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be placed in a way that one child is on top of the other or so that the children face each one. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics when desired. They're not a lot of ventilation which makes them appear like an oven on hot days. There is double buggy -a-boo to look at your children.
This stroller comes with an exclusive feature that lets it expand with you and your family. It can convert 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 be used with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles slopes and stairs well. It isn't easy to maneuver around busy stores and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat back, particularly if it is connected. It is still fairly small, however, and can be tucked away easily.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin next to the front seats. This is useful for groceries and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is massive and can hold up to 100 lbs, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new newborns. It can be used straight out of the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at once.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has added a few enhancements to make it even better. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated in that it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8'' in the front and 11.5'' in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it is able to handle a variety of terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand then the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and install. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also an YouTube video available if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of this popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's made to attract modern families that are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features with a built-in knee rest and updated reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children who take long walks and jogging. Its sleek, agile design also enhances its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and speedy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able handle sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) 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 even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule qualities that make it a top jogger for parents. This includes an oversized canopy that provides great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo window a top-quality harness system and an integrated handbrake with an extremely tuned lever. It also comes with plenty of storage, with in-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds and comes with a zip-top cover.
This Thule jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling babies, as well as a double version that can hold two children. It comes with car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with an easy-folding system that can be folded with one hand to make it easier to transport or store. It's also an eco-friendly choice since it is made of dyed-solution fabric in black and white color options.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopies. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's #1-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for adding bars and straps, like many other models need.
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for all of your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding across all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear 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 simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and take off an infant car seat.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this group of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the back. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues, we think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. Its front swivel lock wheels allow for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also has an umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This tandem stroller features independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, however. We didn't like that the cup holder is quite high up on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's a bit heavier however, it has more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for stuff) and jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one infant car seat, however, 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 is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
