Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best double strollers offer different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for a board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can hold two infant car seats as well a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it is easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully 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 large, covering both seat fabrics if desired. However, they don't offer adequate ventilation, so they could be like a tiny 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 adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used in conjunction with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when seats are connected. It's still quite compact though, and it is able to fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin next to the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 pounds 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 is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight 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.
Compared to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat has been raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized - it doesn't require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a robust suspension system, which lets it take on any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are perfect for navigating gravel and rocks, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can accommodate another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
www.pushchairsandprams.uk is easy to use and set up. However, it takes some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also an YouTube video available for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of this popular stroller that is designed to appeal to modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements that include a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogging. Its sleek, agile design enhances its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the large tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It is able to easily climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces such as city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and crowded park are no problem for it.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule qualities that make it an ideal jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that offers great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo window, a high-quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake with a perfectly in-tuned lever. It also has ideal storage, including in-seat storage pockets and a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds, with the zip-top cover.
This Thule Jogger also comes with bassinets, ideal for babies who need to stroll and a double version that can accommodate two kids.

It also comes in a green option, using solution-dyed fabrics in its black color options to minimize the use of water.
Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that let them 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 completely independent. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access large basket offers ample storage space for your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride on any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its 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 the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the folded stroller and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this class of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is mounted in the back. Lastly, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we believe that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front can be rotated to allow ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features a compact umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection, and it has a peekaboo window that allows to allow for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented for extra airflow, though. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, however, it has an adequate amount of storage space for its price and has ample padding in the seats and handle.
This versatile stroller has three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for things) as well as jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with an infant car seat. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to jog with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
