What Is Twin Stroller And Why Is Everyone Talking About It
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two kids close in age the double stroller is essential. The top double strollers provide multiple ways to ride for 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 hold two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best lightweight double stroller twin stroller for families who want a stylish double buggy with carrycot side-by-side stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It also has a great reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be positioned to have one child sit in front of the other or have children facing each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. They're not a lot of ventilation, so they can appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window that allows children to peek in.
This stroller has an exclusive feature that lets it grow with you and your family. It can go from a single seat (Mono Mode) to a double buggy with car seat side-by-side stroller. It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver around busy stores and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are connected. It's still quite compact though, and it is able to fit through most doors easily.
There is a storage bin that fits on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can hold up 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly babies. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is about an inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which adds extra coverage. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, so it can easily handle any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are perfect to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bike can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who do not want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and set up, though it does take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is a YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding them.

It features exciting improvements such as a built-in foot rest and a new reclined seat that promises unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of every child. The double stroller's two standard seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-accessible basket on the rear offers ample storage space for the equipment. The handle is padded to allow for dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on any terrain, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
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 to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it in a trunk and for double strollers that are compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
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 beast side of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. In addition, it has limited visibility in the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly when used for a long time. However, despite these issues, we believe that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep small double buggy Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double Single pushchair Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with an umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers that we have tested.
This tandem stroller features reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier and has more storage for the money. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional, and features three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to jog with them. It is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
