Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two children that are close in age the double pushchair from birth stroller is a must. The top pushchair double strollers offer numerous ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for a board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can be used with two infant car seats and a toddler seat. This makes it an excellent option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it's easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be positioned in a way that one child is behind another or so that children face each the other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are huge and cover both fabric if desired. However, they don't offer adequate ventilation, so they could appear like a small oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the 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. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes with ease. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when seats are attached. It's still pretty small, however, and can be tucked away easily.
In mono mode, there's an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can support up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight from the box as a lightest double stroller 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 the same time.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with a zip-out fabric extender that provides additional coverage. The harness has also been modernized in that it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to easily navigate a variety of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels are more grippy to handle grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to use a car seat. And if you have a child who is able to sit n stand double stroller in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is simple to use and set up, however it takes some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's a YouTube video in case you need assistance understanding the instructions.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of this renowned all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features that include a built-in leg rest and a new reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children on long jogs and walks. Its sleek, agile design increases its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can cope with sudden changes in surface (such as grass to pavement) and the large tires are able to withstand any terrain. It can easily climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces like city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are no problem.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents a great deal of comfort and convenience. The oversized canopy provides excellent sun protection, has an easy peekaboo, a high quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly tuned. It is packed with storage space, including pockets in the seat and a massive cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also comes with a bassinet, for strolling babies, and a double Buggy that converts to Single version to accommodate two kids. It has car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with an one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also available in green with solution-dyed fabrics in its black colors to reduce water consumption.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with a variety of seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of every child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's #1-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 bars and straps, like many other models need.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access large basket offers ample storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across any terrain, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This is based on how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, lift the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the beast side of our metric than the average for this category of strollers. Additionally, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. In addition the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. However, 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 double buggy, affordable stroller ideal 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 features an umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright for easy transport. Its light aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers that we have tested.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure 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 didn't like that the cup holder sits quite high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of incline which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier, but offers more storage for the money. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can accommodate a single infant car seat. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to jog with them. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
