Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of the same age. The best ones offer numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and a rider board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It adapts to your family's needs seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat which makes it an ideal option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families that are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that extends and retracts easily. It has a long reach so my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
The seats are large and can be positioned so that one child is on top of the other, or to have the children face each other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics when desired. They don't have much ventilation and can feel like an oven on hot days. There's no way to see your children.
This stroller comes with a unique 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 even be used with another bassinet or car seat for infants.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes well. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when seats are tucked away. It's still pretty small, however, and does fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin next to the front seats. This is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 pounds that 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 at the same time.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it can easily handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while 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 bike to the front of the stroller, which can be a handy option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can fit a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, though it can take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades like a built-in foot rest and a reclined seat that promises unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced for improved mobility.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and quick to accelerate on the road. lightweight double buggy is able to take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the large tires are able to withstand any terrain. It can climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces such as streets in cities with aplomb. It's even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule features that make it the ideal jogger for parents. The oversized canopy provides excellent sun protection, has an easy peekaboo and a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is precisely tuned. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets on the seat and a large 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 can be used with car seat adapters so that you can use your infant carrier and it has a quick fold that's one-handed to make it easy to transport and put away. It's also a green option since it is made of solution-dyed fabric in its black color options.
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 stroller seats of the double stroller come with canopies that are reclining and backrests that are separate. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one baby car seat in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels provide a smooth ride over any terrain, and the one-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller and to adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller as if putting it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers, install and remove an infant car seat.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which puts it closer to the top of our measurement. It also has a limited view when a car seat is placed in the rear. In addition the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. Even with these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that can keep your family together for years to come.
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 move on flat surfaces, and secure for stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in just a few seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making moving it easier. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller has seating that reclines independently and foot rests to provide the best comfort for both children. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes an open view for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder sits quite high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of angle which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks but it offers a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has plenty of padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes: wagon (just to store things) and jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can be used with an infant car seat. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you run with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
