Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best double strollers offer different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for a board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It can adapt to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats, as well as a toddler seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it's 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 in front of the other, or to have the children face each one. They can also recline in a different way from each other. The canopies are large, covering both seat fabrics should you wish. They're not very ventilated, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can also be used in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for infants.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat, especially if it is connected. It's still pretty small, however, and does fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. It is great for grocery shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. 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 better. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest is more space and the canopy comes with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which gives extra coverage. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a sturdy suspension system that can navigate any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to conquer grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the ability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, making it an ideal option for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, however it takes some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video to help if you require assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of the popular stroller that is made to draw the attention of modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades such as a built-in foot rest and a reclining seat, which promises unbeatable comfort for children during long jogging and walks. Its sleek, agile design also enhances its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and quick to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surfaces (like grass to pavement) with ease and the oversized wheels provide ample traction for even the roughest of terrain. It can easily climb kerbs without trouble and it turns in tight spaces like city streets with ease. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are no problem for it.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents an abundance of comfort and convenience. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, has a convenient peekaboo as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly tuned. It also comes with plenty of storage, with in-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds with the zip-top cover.
This Thule jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling babies, and a double version that can hold two children. It accepts car seat adapters so you can use the infant carrier of your child, and it comes with a one-handed fold to make it easy to transport or to store. It's also a green option because it uses dyed solution in its black and white color options.
Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that can be adjusted to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller feature reclined backrests and canopies 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 adding straps and bars, as many other models need.
A comfortable three-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for your gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over any terrain, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays, engage and disengage brakes, lift the stroller that is folded and carry it like a trunk.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the extreme end of our metric. It also has a limited view when a car seat is placed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. However, despite these issues, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that can keep your family together for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that's perfect for families with two children. The front lock wheels swivel and can be rotated to allow smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with a compact umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for the best comfort for both children. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. website didn't love the fact that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to access it.
In our tipping-test it was found that the Jeep tipped 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 a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has a decent amount of padding on the seats and handle.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes: wagon (just for things) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them, and 1 year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for more than a decade.
