"A Guide To Twin Stroller In 2023
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 best double strollers offer numerous ways to ride your children including side by side seating and a board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It adapts to your family's needs seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats and an infant seat which makes it an ideal option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a decent reach, so my husband who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when fully laden.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to have one child sit on top of the other or have the children face each one. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are big and cover both fabric should you wish. However, they don't offer enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
This stroller has an exclusive feature that allows it to expand with you and your family. It can be converted from one seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can also be used in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and is able to handle steps and slopes well. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate in busy restaurants and shops. It can be difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it is connected. It's still compact and can fit 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 great for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is big and can hold up 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly 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 right 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.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an 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 updated and doesn't require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that can navigate 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 more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
Another excellent feature is the ability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, making it an excellent option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista Vista is easy to use and to set up. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's a YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding the instructions.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents the option of seating to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. 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 that eliminates the need for additional bars and straps, like many other models need.
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage space for the equipment. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride on all terrain double buggy terrains. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks when you tap it, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and to adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it in a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, though. 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 placed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, especially after prolonged usage. However, despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller for your family.
Jeep double pushchairs Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to move on flat surfaces, and lock for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to go where you'd like to go. It has a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in a matter of seconds. It also stands upright to make moving it easier. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both kids. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It also includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks however, it has an adequate amount of storage space for its cost and has ample padding on the seats and handle.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for stuff), the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and 1 year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
