Best Twin Stroller For Newborns

If you're expecting twins or have two kids close in age the double stroller is essential. The best strollers offer numerous ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and the ability to attach a rider's board.

Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can hold two infant car seats and an infant seat, making it a great option for twins as young as.

Bugaboo Donkey

This is the ideal double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a good reach so my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it, even when it is full of weight.

Seats are large and can be set up so that one child sits in front of another or so that the children face each the other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. But they don't have much ventilation so they can be like a tiny oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.

One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can even be used with an additional bassinet or car seat for infants.

It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes with ease. It can be a challenge to maneuver through crowded restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold, especially when seats are attached. It's still quite compact, and can be tucked away easily.

In mono mode, there is a storage bin next to the front seats. This is ideal for shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is massive and can support 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 can be used right out of the box as a double buggy newborn stroller, and is compatible with a variety of bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.

Comparatively to the first Vista, the V2 has added a few enhancements to make it better. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and doesn't require changed out, making it simple to adjust.

The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system that can handle any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.

Another excellent feature is the ability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which can be an ideal option for parents who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.

Vista Vista is simple to use and to set up. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's an YouTube video if you need assistance understanding the instructions.

Thule Urban Glide 3

The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of this popular all-terrain stroller and it's made to draw the attention of modern families who are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting upgrades, including a built-in leg rest and a reclining seat that promises unparalleled comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design also increases its maneuverability.

It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and speedy to accelerate on the open 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 most difficult terrain. It can climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces such as city streets with precision. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are not a problem.

While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule features that make it a top jogger for parents. The oversized canopy provides excellent sun protection, has an easy peekaboo as well as a premium harness system, and an integrated handbrake that's perfectly tuned. It also comes with plenty of storage options, including inside-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds with the zip-top cover.

This Thule Jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling infants, and a double version that can fit two children. It can be used with car seat adapters, so you can use your child's infant carrier, and it comes with a fold that's one-handed to make it easy to carry or store. It's also available in green, using dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black colors to reduce water consumption.

Cortina Together

For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that let them adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller feature canopies that are reclining and backrests that are completely independent. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 rated infant car seat, in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).

A padded 3-position handle comfortably accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding across all terrains. The one-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making 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 and to adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it into a trunk, and for compatible double buggy that converts to single strollers install and take off the infant car seat.

There are some downsides to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme side of our metric than the average for this group of strollers double strollers. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. Additionally, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. Despite these issues we still think that this is a great stroller for your family.

Jeep Double Stroller

The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it easier. Its light aluminum frame along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.

This tandem stroller features independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection, and it has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented to let in more airflow however. We also didn't love that the cup holder sits quite high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to access 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 average for a double pram. It's a bit heavier and has more storage for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.

This versatile stroller has three modes that include wagon (just for things), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for an infant. 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. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for more than 10 years.
