Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age, a double stroller is essential. The best double strollers offer different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for boards.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats as well as an infant seat, making it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is sturdy and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It has a decent reach so my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it, even when it is full of weight.
The seats are large and can be placed to place one child in front of the other or to have children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can even be used in conjunction with an additional bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes well. The only issue is that it could be difficult to navigate in busy restaurants and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat, especially if it's attached. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is ideal for shopping and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is massive and can support up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the best twin strollers designed for new newborns. It can be used straight from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with a variety of bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.
Compared to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy comes with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which provides additional coverage. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and does not require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a strong suspension system that allows it to handle any 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 sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have an older child who is ready to stand and walk, the Vista can accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
Vista Vista is simple to use and to install. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available for assistance if you require more information.
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 comes with exciting improvements, including a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children on long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design also increases its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it a breeze to push and easy to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can cope with sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It can climb kerbs without difficulty and can turn in tight spaces such as city streets with ease. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it a top jogger for parents. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, a convenient peekaboo as well as a premium harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is precisely adjusted. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets inside the seat as well as a huge cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule Jogger also comes with a bassinet, for babies who need to stroll and a double version that can accommodate two kids. It can be used with car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child, and it has a quick fold that is one-handed, making it easy to transport and put away. It's also available in green with solution-dyed fabrics in its black colors to reduce water consumption.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents a variety of seating options to meet the needs and preferences of each child. The two seats in the double stroller come with canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for additional bars and straps, like other models that require.
A large, zipper-accessible basket in the rear offers ample storage space for the gear. The handle is cushioned to fit dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over all types of terrain, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if putting it in a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and remove an infant car seat.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially when used for a long time. However, despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with 2 children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and ensure stability on bumpy ones making it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also features a compact umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. double running buggy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We also didn't like that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping-test, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the average for the double pram. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks but it does provide plenty of storage space for its cost and has a decent amount of padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff), jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can be used with an infant car seat. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you run with them. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for over 10 years.
