Your Family Will Be Grateful For Having This Twin Stroller
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or have two children of similar ages. The best ones provide different ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as a rider board attachment.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can be used with two infant car seats as well as an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a more bulkier than 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 good reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when fully laden.
The seats are large and can be set up so that one child is behind the other, or to have children facing each one. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. But they don't have much ventilation so they can appear like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from one seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can also be used with another car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver around busy eateries and shops. It can also be difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are tucked away. It's still quite small, however, and is able to fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is huge and can support up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat has been raised by about half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the capability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which is a handy option for those who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have an older child who is able to sit n stand double stroller, the Vista can accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and install. However, it takes some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video to help if you require assistance in 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 for families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades like a built-in foot rest and a new reclined seat that promises the best comfort for children on long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design also improves its mobility.
It is incredibly light, making it easy to drive and speedy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension handles abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the oversized wheels provide ample traction for even the most difficult terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty and can turn in tight spaces such as city streets with precision. It's also easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule features that make it an ideal jogger for parents. It comes with a huge canopy that provides great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo window, a top-quality harness system and an integrated handbrake with a perfectly in-tuned lever. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets inside the seat and a massive cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also has an infant bassinet for strolling babies, and a double version to accommodate two kids. It has car seat adapters, meaning that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has an easy-folding system that can be folded with one hand to make it easier to transport or store. It also comes in a green option that uses solution-dyed fabrics in its black colors to reduce water consumption.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclined backrests and canopies that are independent. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top rated infant car seat, in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for your gear. The tandem pushchairs double stroller's suspension and wheels ensure a smooth ride on any terrain, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is to open and close the snack trays, engage and disengage brakes, raise the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded and puts it closer to the beast end of our measurement. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is mounted in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we believe that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces which makes it easy to go where you'd like to go. It also features an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers we tested.
This tandem Stroller double buggy converts to single (Google.Co.Vi) comes with independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would like to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order 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 a double pram. It's a little heavier and has more storage space for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things), the jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids) as well as a car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you run with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
