Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you are expecting twins or have two children of the same age. The best ones offer different ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and a rider board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can adapt to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats and a toddler seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a more bulkier than other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It has a long reach, so my husband who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when it is full of weight.
The seats are spacious and can be placed to have one child sit on top of the other or to have the children face each other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies are huge, covering both seat fabrics should you wish. However, they don't offer enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
This stroller comes with a unique feature that allows it to expand with your family and you. It can convert from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used in conjunction with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. It can be a challenge to maneuver around busy eateries and shops. It is also difficult to fold, particularly when seats are connected. It's still pretty compact, and is able to fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there's an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is useful for groceries and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is big and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a range 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 let you use two infant car seats at the same time.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest is more space, and the canopy has an extender fabric that zips out and adds extra coverage. The harness has also been modernized - it does not require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it can easily handle all kinds of terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are great for navigating rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand up and walk, 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 to set up. However, it takes some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's an YouTube video if you need assistance understanding them.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller and it's made to draw the attention of modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features that include a built-in leg rest and a reclining seat that promises unparalleled comfort for children who take long walks and jogging. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced to allow for better mobility.
It's extremely light, making it easy to push and quick to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can handle abrupt changes in the surface (like grass to pavement) easily and the large wheels offer ample traction even on the roughest of terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty and can turn in tight spaces like city streets with precision. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are not a problem.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule characteristics that make it the ideal jogger for parents. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, comes with an easy peekaboo as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that's perfectly tuned. It also has ideal storage, with in-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds with an open-top cover.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling infants, and a double version that can fit two children. It also has car seat adapters, meaning 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's also a green option, as it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black color options.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of each child. The two seats in the double stroller have reclined backrests and canopies that are completely independent. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's #1-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 add-on bars and straps, like many other models need.
stroller double pushchairsandprams -position handle 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 a smooth ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This metric is based upon how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were an actual trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our metrics. It also has a limited view when a car-seat is installed in the back. Additionally the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we consider this to be 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 that's perfect for families with two kids. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to move on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to go where you'd like to go. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it simpler. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This tandem stroller features independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would like to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also didn't love the fact that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also a little heavier than our top picks but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space for its cost and has plenty of padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes that include wagon (just to store things), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants however, pediatricians suggest 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's black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
