Best twin strollers for newborns Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two kids close in age A double stroller is a must. The best double single pushchair strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children, including side by side seating and a board attachment.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family grows. It can hold two infant car seats and a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double to single buggy stroller for families looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double 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 retract and extend easily. It has a decent reach so my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when it is full of weight.
Seats are spacious, and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that the children are facing each other. They can also recline independently from one another. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics if desired. However, they don't provide much ventilation so they can be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
This stroller features a unique feature that allows it to expand with your family. It can convert from one seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can also be used with a second hand double buggy car seat or bassinet for infants.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes well. The only drawback is that it can be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are connected. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an additional storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the most popular twin strollers for newly babies. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with many 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 added a few enhancements to make it better. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in front and 11.5 in the back) with a strong suspension, so it is able to handle a variety of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't wish to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand up and walk, the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up, however it can take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there is an YouTube video in case you need help understanding the steps.
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 are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features, including a built-in leg rest and updated reclining seat that promises unparalleled comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design also enhances its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it a breeze to push and swift to accelerate when you're hitting the road. Its suspension can take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It's able to climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces, like city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are not a problem.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule characteristics that make it the ideal jogger for parents. This includes an oversized canopy that provides excellent sun protection and a convenient peekaboo window, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is integrated with a an incredibly tuned lever. It also comes with ample storage options, including inside-seat storage pockets and a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds and comes with an open-top cover.
This Thule Jogger also has an infant bassinet for strolling newborns, and a double version that can accommodate two children. It has car seat adapters, meaning that 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 available in green that uses solutions-dyed fabrics with black colors to reduce the use of water.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that allow them to adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller have reclining backrests, and canopies that are separate. They're also designed to take 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 add-on bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A large, zip-up basket in the rear offers ample storage for equipment. The handle is cushioned to allow for dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels ensure a smooth ride on all types of terrain, and the one-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
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 adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk and for compatible double strollers, 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 puts it closer to the extreme end of our metric. In addition, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. Lastly, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues we still think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces which makes it easy to go where you'd like 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 simpler. 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 has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't like the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend to access it.
In our tipping-test it was found that the Jeep tipped over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the norm for the double pram. It's a little heavier and has more storage for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) or Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids) 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 6 months old before you jog with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
