Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or have two children of similar ages. The best ones provide different ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as the ability to attach a rider's board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats as well an infant seat which makes 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's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a decent reach, so my husband who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when he is fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be set up to have one child sit on top of the other or have the children face each one. They can also recline separately from one another. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. However, they don't provide much ventilation so they can be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
This stroller features a unique feature that lets it expand with you and your family. It can convert from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used in conjunction with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded eateries and shops. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when seats are attached. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can hold up 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the best twin strollers designed for new newborns. It is compatible with a range of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Compared to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. read what he said is half an inch taller, 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 updated and doesn't require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system that can navigate any terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels are more grippy to handle the 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 excellent option for those who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is able to stand in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
Vista Vista is simple to use and to set up. It does take some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also a YouTube video 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 are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features with a built-in knee rest and a new reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design enhances its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it a breeze to push and quick to accelerate once you're on the road. Its suspension is able to handle sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It can easily move up kerbs and around tight spaces such as city streets. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule features that make it the ideal jogger for parents. It comes with a huge canopy that provides great sun protection, an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is integrated with a an extremely tuned lever. It is packed with storage space, including pockets inside the seat as well as a huge cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
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, so you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has a one-handed folding system to help you transport it or store. It's also an eco-friendly choice, as it uses dyed solution in its black color choices.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with a variety of seating options to meet the preferences and needs of each child. The two seats in the double stroller feature canopies that are reclining and backrests that are completely independent. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zip-up basket at the rear provides ample storage space for your equipment. The handle is padded to allow for dad or mom. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure smooth riding on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller as if putting it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers, install and remove the infant car seat.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the beast side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this group of strollers. In addition, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. Lastly the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. However, despite these issues, we still think this is a great double stroller that will be able to keep your family together for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that is 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 surfaces which makes it easy to go where you'd like to go. It also comes with a compact umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the easiest double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This tandem stroller comes with independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than average for the double pram. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks however, it has an adequate amount of storage space at a reasonable price and has a decent amount of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes: wagon (just to store things) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for more than a decade.
