Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The top double strollers provide numerous 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 be adapted to your family's needs effortlessly. It can fit two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat which makes it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a long reach, so my husband who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when fully laden.
Seats are large and can be positioned so that one child sits in front of another or so that children face each the other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. They're not a lot of ventilation and can appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
This stroller comes with a unique feature that allows it to expand with your family. It can go from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double buggy with carrycot Buggy newborn (Wiki.iurium.cz) side by side stroller. It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can even be used in conjunction with a second car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes well. The only downside is that it could be difficult to navigate in the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat back, especially if it's attached. It's still quite compact double buggy, and is able to fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is useful for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the best twin pushchairs strollers designed for new babies. It can be used with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at once.
Comparatively to the first Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat has been 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 is also modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a sturdy suspension system, which lets it handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels are more grippy to handle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is a handy option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can fit a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and to install. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also an YouTube video to help for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
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 appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements, including a built-in leg rest and a reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children who take long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced for improved mobility.
It's extremely light, which makes it a breeze to push and quick to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass to pavement) and the oversized tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It's able to move up kerbs and around tight spaces like city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are no problem for it.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule features that make it the ideal jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that provides excellent sun protection and a convenient peekaboo window, a high-quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake with an extremely tuned lever. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets inside the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also has an infant bassinet for strolling newborns, and a double buggy sale model to accommodate two kids. It comes with car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has an one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also a green choice that uses dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black hues to cut down on the use of water.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller feature canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. 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 additional bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding across any terrain. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller, adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, then lift and carry the stroller as if putting it in a trunk and for compatible double strollers, install and remove an infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our metrics. In addition, it has limited visibility in the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially when used for a long time. However, despite these issues, we consider this to be a great stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two kids. The front lock wheels swivel and can be rotated to allow ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features an umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both children. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection, and it includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't like the fact that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than the norm for double prams. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks but it does provide a decent amount of storage space for the price and comes with ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) as well as a jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids) as well as a car seat mode. It can accommodate a single to double stroller car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for over a decade.
