The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as an infant seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models however, it is sturdy and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it is easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be positioned so that one child sits in front of another or so that children face each other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are huge and cover both seat fabrics should you wish. They're not very ventilated and can be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
This stroller has an unique feature that allows it to expand with your family and you. It can be converted from a single seat (Mono Mode) to a double side by side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with an additional bassinet or car seat for infants.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes well. It isn't easy to maneuver around busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when the seats are tucked away. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used right from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been updated and no longer needs to be changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a robust suspension system, which can navigate any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up, however it can take some time to remove 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.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with a variety of seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of each child. The double stroller's standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one rated infant car seat, in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access basket offers plenty of storage space for your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide a smooth ride across any terrain. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This metric is based upon how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray and engage and disengage the brakes, lift the folded stroller and carry it as if it were a trunk.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded and puts it closer to the extreme end of our metrics. It also is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after prolonged usage. Despite these issues, we think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep double travel stroller Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel lock wheels allow for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features an umbrella fold that folds down in seconds and stands upright for easy transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame with foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This tandem stroller comes with independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection, and comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented to let in more airflow though. We also weren't thrilled the fact that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's a bit heavier however, it has more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes: wagon (just for things), the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed 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. They should also be one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
