Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The top double strollers provide numerous ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats as well an infant seat which makes it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families that need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that retracts and extends easily. It has a decent reach, so my husband who is 6'1" is able to easily push it, even when fully laden.
Seats are large and can be placed so that one child sits on top of the other or so that children face each other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. They're not very ventilated which makes them feel like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to see your kids.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability 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 be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle slopes and stairs well. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It can be difficult to fold the seat, especially if it is attached. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs that is more than any other stroller on this list!
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 are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. all terrain double stroller can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has added a few enhancements to make it better. The toddler seat is about an inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which adds extra coverage. The harness has been updated in that it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5'' in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it can easily handle any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are perfect to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
Another great feature is the ability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which is an ideal option for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is able to stand and walk, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is easy 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 is an YouTube video to help if you require help understanding the instructions.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of this popular all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements, including a built-in leg rest and a new reclining seat that promises unparalleled comfort for children who take long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design improves its mobility.
It's extremely light, making it easy to push and easy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able take on sudden changes in the surface (such as pavement to grass) and the large tires are able to withstand any terrain. It can easily move up kerbs and around tight spaces such as city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule features that make it an ideal jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as a convenient peekaboo window a high-quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake with a perfectly in-tuned lever. It also has ideal storage options, including inside-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds and comes with the zip-top cover.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, as well as 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 features a simple fold that's one-handed to make it easy to transport and store. It's also a green choice because it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black and white color options.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that let them adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. They're also designed to take 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 that eliminates the need for additional bars and straps, like many other models need.
A comfortable 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access large basket offers ample storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on any terrain, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, lift the stroller when folded and then carry it like a trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which puts it close to the beast end of our measurement. It also has a limited view when a car-seat is installed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Even with these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for many years to come.
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. Its front swivel lock wheels can be rotated to allow smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making moving it easier. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both kids. The canopy is large enough to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It comes with a peekaboo view window to allow for easy monitoring. We would prefer to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We were not happy that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks, but it offers a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable 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 wagon (for stuff) as well as a jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to run with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
