Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two kids close in age A double stroller is essential. The best ones provide different ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and an attachment for a rider board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family grows. It can accommodate two infant car seats and a toddler seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families searching for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract 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 positioned to have one child sit behind the other or have the children face each other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are large and cover both seat fabrics when desired. However, they don't provide much ventilation so they can feel like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window that allows children to peek in.
This stroller has an exclusive feature that lets it grow with your family. It can convert from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used in conjunction with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate in crowded shops and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when the seats are attached. It's still small and can fit 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 ideal for shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can hold up 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest is larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and doesn't require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system, which lets it handle any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to conquer paths and grassy hills.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be an excellent option for those who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is getting ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up, though it does take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video in case you need assistance understanding the instructions.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of this renowned all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and an updated reclined seat, which offers the best comfort for children on long walks and jogs.

Its suspension is able take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires are able to withstand any terrain. It can easily climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces, like city streets. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule qualities that make it a top jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a high-quality harness system, and a handbrake that is integrated with a an extremely tuned lever.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with the option of seating to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across all types of terrain, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers how easy it is to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, raise the stroller that is folded and carry it like an actual trunk.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme side of our metric than the average for this category of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. Additionally 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 for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with two kids. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to go where you'd like to go. It also comes with an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transportation. Its light aluminum frame along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers we tested.
double buggy for twins has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would prefer to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder is quite high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping-test in our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than average for the double pram. It's a bit heavier and has more storage for the money. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is multi-functional and features three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for stuff) as well as a Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
