10 Twin Stroller That Are Unexpected
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two kids close in age the double stroller is essential. The best double stroller strollers offer numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and the ability to attach a rider's board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can be adapted to your family's needs effortlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It has a long reach so my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when it is full of weight.
The seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child is on top of the other or to have the children face each one. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. They're not a lot of ventilation and can appear like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from the 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 even be used in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when seats are connected. It's still small and fits through most doors.
There is a storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used right out of box as a double buggy that converts to single stroller, and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at the same time.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy has an extender fabric that zips out and gives extra coverage. The harness has also been upgraded and does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 in the back) with a strong suspension, so it is able to easily navigate all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't want to use a car seat. And if you have a child who is ready to sit n stand double stroller, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is simple to use and set up. However, it takes some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available if you need more help.
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 features exciting improvements like a built-in foot rest and a new reclined seat, which offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogging. Its sleek and agile design has also been enhanced for improved mobility.
It's extremely light, which makes it easy to push and easy to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can handle abrupt changes in surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the large wheels provide ample traction even on the roughest of terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty and can turn in tight spaces such as streets in cities with aplomb. It's even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that gives parents a great deal of comfort and ease. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, has an easy peekaboo, a high quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly adjusted. It also has ideal storage, including in-seat storage pockets and a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds with an open-top cover.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, and a double version that can accommodate two children. It also has car seat adapters, meaning that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with an one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store.

Cortina Together
Designed 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 two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclining backrests, and canopies that are separate. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's #1-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for additional straps and bars, as many other models need.
A comfortable 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across any terrain and the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk and for double strollers that are compatible, install and remove an infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which puts it closer to the top of our metric. It also has a limited view when a car seat is placed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. However, despite these issues, we believe that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double buggy newborn (hop over to here) Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to maneuver on flat surfaces, and lock for stability on bumpy ones making it easy to travel wherever you'd like to go. It also features an umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This tandem stroller comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of incline, which is above average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier and has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This versatile stroller has three modes: wagon (just for things) as well as jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be one year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
