Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two kids close in age A double stroller is essential. The best strollers offer multiple ways for your kids to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as a rider board attachment.
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 accommodate two infant car seats, as well as the toddler seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a long reach so my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to have one child sit in front of the other, or to have children face each other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are big and cover both fabric should you wish. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
stokke double stroller features an unique feature that allows it to grow with your family. It can convert from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle slopes and stairs well. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded eateries and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are connected. It's still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there is an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is ideal for shopping and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is big and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers designed for 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. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at once.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat has been elevated by a half inch, the footrest is larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it is able to easily navigate all kinds of terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are great for navigating gravel and rocks and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to attach 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 who is old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, although it can take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is a YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding the steps.

It's got exciting new features including a built-in feet rest and an updated reclining seat, which promises unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design has also been enhanced for improved mobility.
It is incredibly light, making it simple to drive and quick to accelerate on the open road.

It can easily climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces like city streets. It's also 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 a top jogger for parents. The oversized canopy provides excellent sun protection, has an easy peekaboo, a high quality harness system and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly tuned. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets on the seat as well as a huge cargo bag that can accommodate up to 15 pounds.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with various seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's #1-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for adding bars and straps, like other models that require.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller offer smooth riding across 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 marks for ease of usage. This is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it in a trunk and for double strollers that are compatible, install and remove the infant car seat.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, however. 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 group of strollers. Additionally, it has limited visibility in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that can keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. The front lock wheels swivel and can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers we tested.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests to ensure the best comfort for both children. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It comes with a peekaboo view window for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In double buggy with car seat of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average and has more storage space for the price. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a walker (for things) as well as a jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a 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 run with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
