"A Guide To Twin Stroller In 2023
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two children that are close in age, a double stroller is essential. The best strollers offer different ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and an attachment for a rider board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It can adapt to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can hold two infant car seats and a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best pushchair twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that can be extended and retracted easily. It has a decent reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it, even when fully laden.
The seats are large and can be positioned to have one child sit in front of the other or have children face each the other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are large, covering both seat fabrics should you wish. They don't have much ventilation and can appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from the single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double pushchairs stroller convertible to do this. It can also be used with an additional car seat or bassinet for infants.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. The only issue is that it could be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when seats are attached. It's still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers designed for newborns. It can be used right out of the box as a double stroller and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is about an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy is equipped with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which provides additional coverage. Also, the harness has been upgraded and doesn't require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it can easily handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are rubber which makes them suitable for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels are more grippy to handle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another excellent feature is the possibility to attach a child's bike 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. And if you have a child who is ready to stand, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, although it takes some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there is also an YouTube video to help should you require further assistance.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the newest version of this popular all-terrain stroller and it's designed to draw the attention of modern families who prioritize style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements with a built-in knee rest and a new reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children on long jogs and walks. Its sleek, agile design also increases its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it a breeze to push and quick to accelerate when you're hitting the open road. Its suspension can handle abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the large wheels offer plenty of traction on even the roughest of terrain. It can climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces like streets in cities with aplomb. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are not a problem.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that gives parents plenty of comfort and convenience. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, an easy peekaboo as well as a premium harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly adjusted. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat and a large cargo bag that can accommodate up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also has a bassinet, for babies who need to stroll, and a double version that can accommodate two children. It accepts car seat adapters, so you can use your child's infant carrier, and it features a simple fold that's one-handed to make it easy to carry or put away. It's also available in green that uses solutions-dyed fabrics with black color options to minimize water consumption.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for adding straps and bars, as many competing models require.
A large, zipper-accessible basket in the rear offers ample storage space for your gear. The handle is padded to allow for dad or mom. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure a smooth ride on any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This metric is based upon the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers how easy it is to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller that is folded and carry it like the trunk of a car.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which puts it close to the beast end of our metrics. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is mounted in the rear. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly when used for a long time. Even with these issues, we consider this to be a great double stroller that will keep your family together for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It has a compact double stroller folding umbrella that can be closed in seconds. It also stands upright to make transporting it simpler. Its aluminum frame is light with foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. The canopy is large enough to provide UPF 50 sun protection, and it has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love 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 fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks however, it has a decent amount of storage space for the price and comes with ample padding on the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things), Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids), or car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
