Your Family Will Be Grateful For Having This Twin Stroller
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two children who are similar in age, a double stroller is a must. The top double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can adapt to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can hold two infant car seats as well an infant seat, making it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families that need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It also has a long reach, so it's easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when loaded.
The seats are large and can be placed to have one child sit behind the other or have children face each the other. They can also recline independently from one another. The canopies are huge and cover both fabric if desired. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
This stroller has an unique feature that lets it expand with your family and you. It can go from one seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and can handle slopes single and double stroller steps with ease. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are connected. It's still pretty compact, and can be tucked away easily.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is massive and can hold up to 100 lbs, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of the box as a pushchairs double stroller and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and gives extra coverage. Additionally, the harness has been modernized - it no longer needs to be replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system, which lets it navigate any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another great feature is the possibility to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which can be an ideal option for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand then the Vista stroller can fit a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up, however it does take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also a YouTube video for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most compact double stroller recent version of this renowned all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting improvements such as a built-in foot rest and a new reclined seat, which offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogging. Its sleek, agile design also increases its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and speedy to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able to handle sudden changes in surfaces (like pavement to grass) effortlessly, and the large wheels offer plenty of traction on even the roughest of terrains. It is able to easily move up kerbs and around tight spaces such as city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule qualities that make it an ideal jogger for parents. It comes with a huge canopy that offers excellent sun protection and an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, an extremely high-quality harness system and a handbrake integrated with an extremely tuned lever. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule Jogger also has an infant bassinet for strolling babies, and a double model to accommodate two children. It also 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 help you transport it or store. It also comes in a green option with solutions-dyed fabrics with black color options to minimize water consumption.
Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that can be adjusted to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller have reclining backrests, and canopies that are completely independent. 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 straps and bars, as many other models need.
A comfortable three-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access large basket offers ample storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across any terrain and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
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 fold and set up the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible, install and remove the infant car seat.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded and puts it closer to the beast end of our metric. Additionally, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is in place. In addition the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly after long-term use. Despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with 2 children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to move on flat surfaces and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to travel wherever you'd like to go. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it simpler. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This tandem stroller features independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It comes with a peekaboo view window for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder is very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test in our tipping-test, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than the norm for a double pram. It's also heavier than our top picks but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space for the cost and has a decent amount of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes that include wagon (just to store things), Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and one 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 more than a decade.
