10 Twin Stroller That Are Unexpected
best twin stroller - moved here - For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best ones provide multiple ways for your kids to ride such as side-by-side seating, and the ability to attach a rider's board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can fit two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an ideal option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families that need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a decent reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it when fully laden.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed so that one child sits behind another or so that children are facing each the other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics if desired. They're not very ventilated and can be like an oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your kids.
This stroller comes with an exclusive feature that lets it grow with your family. It can convert from one seat (Mono Mode) to the double buggy with car seat side by side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, especially when the seats are tucked away. It's still compact and fits 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, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of the box as a double stroller and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that can take on any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are ideal for navigating gravel and rocks, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can also be attached 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 a child who is old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and install. It does take some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there's also a YouTube video if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of this popular stroller that is designed to draw the attention of modern families who are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features like a built-in foot rest and an updated reclined seat that promises unbeatable comfort for children during long jogging and walks. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced to allow for better mobility.
It is incredibly light, making it easy to drive and quick to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surfaces (like pavement to grass) with ease and the large wheels offer plenty of traction on even the most difficult terrain. It's able to move up kerbs and around tight spaces such as city streets. It's even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it a top jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that offers great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo window, an extremely high-quality harness system and an integrated handbrake with an incredibly tuned lever. It is packed with storage space, including pockets inside the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet to accommodate strolling babies, as well as a double version that can hold two children. It comes with car seat adapters so that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with a one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also a green choice that uses dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black color options to minimize water consumption.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that allow them to adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The double stroller's standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopies. They're also engineered 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) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on bars and straps, like many other models need.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer an easy ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This is based on how easy 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 tray, engage and disengage brakes, lift the folded stroller and carry it like an actual trunk.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the beast end of our metric. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, especially after long-term use. However, 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 double pushchair, affordable stroller ideal for families with two children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to move on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it simpler. Its light aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double jogging stroller strollers in our tests.
This tandem stroller features independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows to allow for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow though. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test in our tipping-test, the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than the norm for a double pram. It's a little heavier however, it has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This versatile stroller has three modes that include wagon (just for stuff) as well as 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 6 months old before jogging with them and 1 year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for over a decade.
