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 double strollers offer different ways to ride your children, including side by side seating and a board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can fit two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat, making it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a long reach, so it is easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when loaded.
The seats are large and can be set up to place one child on top of the other or have the children face each other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics, if desired. However, they don't offer much ventilation so they can appear like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from one seat (Mono mode) to grow 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 an additional car seat or bassinet for infants.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes well. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate through the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat, particularly if it is attached. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In double pram and pushchair , there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly newborns. It is compatible with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. 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 higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with a zip-out fabric extender that adds extra coverage. Additionally, the harness has been modernized - it does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8'' in the front and 11.5'' in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it can easily handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating through 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 do not want to use a car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, however it does take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's an YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding the instructions.

Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. They're also engineered to accept 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 additional bars and straps, like many other models need.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access large basket offers ample storage space for gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding on any terrain. The 1-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 easy it is to set up and fold the stroller, adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, then 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 has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the beast end of our metrics. Additionally, it has limited visibility in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. However, despite these issues, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will keep your family together for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy ones making it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It also has a compact umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transportation. Its light aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers we tested.
This tandem stroller comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection, and it comes with a peekaboo view window to allow for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented to let in more airflow though. We also didn't like that the cup holder is very high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend 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 plenty of storage space for its price and has 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 safety belts with five points for kids), or car seat mode.
