Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two kids close in age A double stroller is a must. The best strollers offer multiple ways for your kids to ride, including side-by-side seating and the ability to attach a rider's board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can accommodate two infant car seats, as well as an infant seat. This makes it an excellent option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a long reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it, even when it is full of weight.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed so that one child sits behind another or so that the children are facing each other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics when desired. They don't have much ventilation which makes them be like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to see your children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from a single and double stroller seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can be used with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate in the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold, especially when seats are tucked away. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to 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 big and can hold up 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the top twin strollers for new borns. It can be used right out of the box as a double stroller and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 in the back) with a strong suspension, so it can easily handle any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones, while the rear wheels are more grippy to handle paths and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who do not want to use an infant car seat. And if you have an older child who is ready 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, although it does take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is a YouTube video if you need help understanding the instructions.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of the popular all-terrain stroller and it's designed to draw the attention of modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features, including a built-in leg rest and a new reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children who take long jogs and walks. Its sleek, agile design improves its mobility.
It is incredibly light, making it simple to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able to handle abrupt changes in surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the oversized wheels provide ample traction for even the most difficult terrain. It can easily move up kerbs and around tight spaces, like city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are not a problem.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule qualities that make it the ideal jogger for parents. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, has an easy peekaboo as well as a premium harness system, and an integrated handbrake that's perfectly tuned. It also has ideal storage, including in-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds, with the zip-top cover.
This Thule Jogger also comes with bassinets, ideal for babies who need to stroll, and a double version that can accommodate two children. It can be used with car seat adapters so that you can use your infant carrier and it features a simple fold that is one-handed, making it easy to carry or put away. It's also a green choice because it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black color choices.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of each child. The two seats in the double travel stroller stroller feature reclining backrests, and canopies that are completely independent. 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) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for adding bars and straps, like many other models need.
A large, zip-up basket at the rear provides ample storage space for the gear. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The tandem double Stroller With adjustable seats stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across all types of terrain, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes 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 as well as the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller like you would put it into a trunk, and for double buggy with carrycot strollers that are compatible, install and remove the infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this category of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is mounted in the rear. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly after long-term use. However, despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight twin stroller 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 comes with an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in just a few seconds. It also stands upright to make transporting it simpler. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest-to-lift double buggy for twins strollers that we have tested.
This side-by-side stroller offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, though. We weren't a fan of the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has plenty of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes: wagon (just for stuff), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
