Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best ones offer different ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and a rider board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It adapts to your family's needs effortlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a great reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to place one child in front of the other or have children facing each the other. double pushchair can recline independently from each other. The canopies are big and cover both fabric when desired. They're not very ventilated, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to look at your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from the single seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for babies.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. It can be a challenge to maneuver around busy stores and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat, particularly if it is connected. It is still fairly compact though, and it does fit through most doors easily.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new newborns. It can be used straight from the box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at once.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy has an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't require re-threading. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in front and 11.5'' in the back) with a strong suspension, so it is able to handle any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels are more grippy to handle grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bike can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista Vista is easy to use and install. However, it takes some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also a YouTube video available should you require further assistance.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of this renowned all terrain stroller. It's designed for families who are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It features exciting upgrades, including a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children on long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced to allow for better maneuverability.
It's incredibly lightweight, making it easy to push and swift to accelerate when you're hitting the open road. Its suspension can take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the large tires are able to withstand any terrain. It's able to move up kerbs and around tight spaces, like city streets. It's also easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents an abundance of comfort and convenience. The oversized canopy provides excellent sun protection, has an easy peekaboo, a high quality harness system and a handbrake that is precisely tuned. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets on the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, as well as a double version that can accommodate two children. It has car seat adapters so that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has an one-handed folding system to help you transport it or store. It's also available in green that uses dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black colors to reduce water consumption.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents 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. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access large basket offers ample storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on any terrain, and the one-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation make 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 fold and set up the stroller and to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if putting it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this group of strollers. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues we still 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 a lightweight, affordable stroller ideal for families with two kids. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to get where you'd like to go. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it easier. Its light aluminum frame, foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers we tested.
This side-by-side stroller offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to provide the best comfort for both children. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes an open view for easy monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than the average for the double pram. It's a little heavier and has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and features three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff) as well as a Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) as well as a car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
