Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two children that are close in age A double stroller is a must. The best double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It adapts to your family's needs effortlessly. It can fit two infant car seats as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin pushchairs stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a decent reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed in a way that one child is behind another or so that the children are facing each other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics should you wish. However, they don't offer enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your children.
This stroller features an unique feature that allows it to grow with your family and you. It can be converted from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, particularly when seats are attached. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. It is great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin pushchair strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a range of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double travel buggy stroller right out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with a zip-out fabric extender that adds extra coverage. The harness is also modernized in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 in the back) with a strong suspension, so it is able to handle any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
Another great feature is the capability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is an ideal option for parents who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have an older child who is able to stand, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, though it can take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's a YouTube video to help if you require assistance understanding the steps.

Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclining backrests, and canopies that are independent. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 rated infant car seat, in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-accessible basket on the rear offers ample storage for equipment. The handle is cushioned to allow for dad or mom. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding across all terrains. The one-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and to adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if placing it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and take off an infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. 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 category of strollers. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. However, despite these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will be able to keep your family together for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight double stroller, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to maneuver on flat surfaces and lock for stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to get where you want to go. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both kids. The canopy is large enough to offer UPF 50 sun protection, and it includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented for extra airflow, however. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, but it offers an adequate 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 is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things) as well as a jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children) or car seat mode. It can be used with an 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. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for over a decade.
