Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The top double strollers provide different ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as the toddler seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal smallest double buggy stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has 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, even when he is fully loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that children are facing each the other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. However, they don't provide adequate ventilation, so they could feel like a small oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to look at your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from a single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It can be a challenge to maneuver around busy stores and restaurants. It can be difficult to fold the seat back, particularly if it is connected. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the top pushchair twin strollers for new newborns. It can be used straight from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous infant car seats and bassets. 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 improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to conquer 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 want to use a car seat. If you have a child who is able to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is simple to use and to set up. However, it takes some time to remove all terrain double stroller the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's a YouTube video to help if you require help understanding them.
thule double stroller Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of this popular stroller that is designed to appeal to modern families who are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting upgrades with a built-in knee rest and a reclining seat that promises unparalleled comfort for children on long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design improves its mobility.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able cope with sudden changes in surface (such as grass to pavement) and the oversized tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It's able to climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces such as city streets. It's even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents an abundance of comfort and convenience. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, comes with an easy peekaboo, a high quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly adjusted. It also comes with ample storage, with in-seat storage pockets and a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds, with the zip-top cover.
This Thule jogger also comes with a bassinet, for babies who need to stroll, 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 comes with an one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also an eco-friendly choice since it is made of dyed-solution fabric in black and white color options.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that let them 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. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable three-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across all terrains, while the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller like you would put it in a trunk and for compatible double strollers install and remove an infant car seat.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded and puts it closer to the extreme end of our measurement. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is placed in the back. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after long-term use. Despite these issues, we think this is a great double stroller that will keep up with your family for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces, and lock for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to get where you want to go. It also comes with an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame is light with foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers that we have tested.
This side-by-side stroller offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both kids. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented for extra airflow, however. We also didn't love that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than the average for a double pram. It's also heavier than our top picks but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has plenty of padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for stuff), the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) or car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to run with them. It is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for more than 10 years.
