Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two children who are similar in age the double stroller is essential. The best strollers offer numerous ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and the ability to attach a rider's board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can be used with two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an excellent option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It also has a great reach, so it is easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics If you want. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them appear like a small oven on hot days. There's no way to see your children.
One of the most distinctive 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 that can do this. It can be used with an additional bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes well. It isn't easy to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It is also difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are connected. It's still compact and can fit through most doors.
In mono mode, there is an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. The harness has also been modernized since it doesn't 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 inches in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who do not want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who is able to stand in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and to set up. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's a YouTube video to help if you require assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of this popular all-terrain stroller and it's designed to appeal to modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features such as a built-in foot rest and an updated reclined seat that promises the best comfort for children on long walks and jogging. Its sleek and agile design has also been enhanced for improved mobility.
It's incredibly lightweight, making it a breeze to push and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension handles abrupt changes in surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the large wheels provide ample traction for even the most difficult terrain. It can easily climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces, like city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule qualities that make it a top jogger for parents. It comes with a huge canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is integrated with a a perfectly in-tuned lever. It also has ideal storage options, including inside-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds, with the zip-top cover.
This Thule Jogger also comes with an infant bassinet for babies who need to stroll and a double version to accommodate two kids. It accepts car seat adapters, so you can use your infant carrier and it features a simple fold that's one-handed to make it easy to transport or to store. It's also a green choice that uses solution-dyed fabrics in its black color options to minimize the use of water.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with the option of seating to accommodate the needs and preferences of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are separate. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for adding bars and straps, like many other models need.
A comfortable three-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem amazon double stroller stroller ensure an easy ride on any terrain. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
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, adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if placing it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and remove the infant car seat.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. In addition, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. Lastly, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. Even with these limitations, we think this is a great double infant strollers stroller that will keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller for families with 2 children. The front lock wheels swivel and rotate for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest nipper double buggy strollers we have seen in our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would like to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping-test, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the average for double prams. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, but it offers a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable price and comes with a decent amount of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
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 car seat for infants. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to jog with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
