Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two kids close in age the double stroller is a must. The best ones provide numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and a rider board attachment.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite 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 a toddler seat which makes it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a good reach, so my husband who is 6'1", can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be positioned to place one child on top of the other, or to have children facing each one. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics if desired. They're not a lot of ventilation, so they can be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to see the children.
This stroller comes with an exclusive feature that allows it to expand with you and your family. It can go from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side by side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver around busy restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold, particularly when seats are attached. It is still fairly small, however, and can be tucked away easily.
In mono mode, there is an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Compared to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with a zip-out fabric extender that provides additional coverage. The harness has been updated in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system, which can handle any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to use a car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up. It does take some time to take off all terrain double buggy - Our Web Page - the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also an YouTube video available for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of the popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's made to attract modern families that are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features including a built-in feet rest and a new reclined seat, which offers the best comfort for children on long jogging and walks. Its sleek, agile design also improves its mobility.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surfaces (like pavement to grass) easily and the large wheels provide plenty of traction on even the roughest of terrains. It's able to move up kerbs and around tight spaces, like city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule features that make it an ideal jogger for parents. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, comes with an easy 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 and a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds and comes with a zip-top cover.
This Thule jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling babies, and 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 comes with an easy-folding system that can be folded with one hand to make it easier to transport or store. It also comes in a green option that uses solutions-dyed fabrics with black color options to minimize the use of water.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents various seating options to meet the needs and preferences of each child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclining backrests, and canopies that are completely independent. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage space for your equipment. The handle is cushioned to allow for dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels 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 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 adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it into a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and take off an infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this class of strollers. Additionally, it has limited visibility in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. Lastly, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. Even with these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic cheap double pushchair stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy ones making it easy to go where you'd like to go. It also has a compact double buggy umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This tandem stroller features independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The canopy is large enough to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We also didn't like the fact that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of angle which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average, but offers more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes that include wagon (just for stuff) as well as the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) 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 one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
