Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two children that are close in age the double stroller is a must. The best strollers offer multiple ways for your kids to ride such as side-by-side seating, and a rider board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It adapts to your family's needs effortlessly. It can hold two infant car seats as well a toddler seat, making it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy 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" can easily push it, even when it is full of weight.
The seats are spacious and can be positioned so that one child is on top of the other, or to have children face each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are huge and cover both seat fabrics should you wish. They're not a lot of ventilation which makes them appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
This stroller has an exclusive feature that lets it expand with your family and you. It can go from a single 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 with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes with ease. It can be difficult to maneuver around busy eateries and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are tucked away. It's still pretty compact though, and it can be tucked away easily.
In mono mode, there's an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the most popular twin pushchairs strollers for newly newborns. It can be used straight out of the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy has an extender fabric that zips out and adds extra coverage. The harness has also been modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 in the front and 11.5 in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it is able to easily navigate all kinds of terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who do not want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, though it takes some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also a YouTube video should you require further assistance.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of this popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's made to attract modern families that are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and a reclining seat, which promises unmatched comfort for children during long jogging and walks. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced to allow for better mobility.
It's incredibly lightweight, making it easy to push and swift to accelerate once you're on the open road. Its suspension is able to handle abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the oversized wheels provide ample traction for even the roughest of terrains. It can climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces such as city streets with precision. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with a variety of seating options to meet the needs and preferences of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have reclined backrests and canopies that are separate. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's #1-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on straps or bars, which many other models need.
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage for equipment. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across 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 in terms of ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller, adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller as if putting it into a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and remove the infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the extreme end of our metric. It also is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly after long-term use. Despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that will keep your family together for years to come.
Jeep double buggy travel system Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in just a few seconds. It also stands upright to make transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame is light with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both children. Its oversized canopy extends to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window to allow for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented for extra 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 to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier, but offers more storage space for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a walker (for things) or Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to run with them. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
