Check Out What Twin Stroller Tricks Celebs Are Using
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two children who are similar in age, a double stroller is essential. The best strollers offer different ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and a rider board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can hold two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat which makes it an ideal option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double Pram buggy stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It also has a fantastic reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed so that one child sits behind another or so that the children are facing each other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them appear like a small double buggy oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
This stroller comes with an exclusive feature that lets it expand with your family. It can convert from one 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 a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes well. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when the seats are tucked away. It's still quite small, however, and does fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there's an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the best twin strollers designed for new borns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest is larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been updated and does not require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it is able to handle a variety of terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are great to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat. And if you have a child who is ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and install. However, it takes some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's a YouTube video if you need assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of this popular all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features, including a built-in leg rest and a new reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children on long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design is also upgraded to improve its maneuverability.
It is incredibly light, making it simple to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able to handle sudden changes in surfaces (like grass to pavement) with ease and the large wheels offer ample traction for even the roughest of terrain. It's able to climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces like city streets. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are not a problem.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule qualities that make it an ideal jogger for parents. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, an easy peekaboo as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that is precisely adjusted. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets inside the seat as well as a huge cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule Jogger also comes with a bassinet, for strolling newborns, and a double version to accommodate two children. It can be used with car seat adapters so that you can use your infant carrier and it features a simple fold that is one-handed, making it easy to carry or to store. It's also available in green, using solutions-dyed fabrics with black color options to minimize the use of water.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents a variety of seating options to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for add-on straps or bars, which other models that require.
A large, zip-up basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across all terrains, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is to open and close the snack tray and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the folded stroller and carry it like an actual trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly when used for a long time. Even with these issues, we still consider this to be a great double stroller that will keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also has an umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation. Its light aluminum frame, foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers we tested.
This tandem stroller comes with independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also didn't like that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is a bit higher than the average for a compact double stroller stroller. It's heavier than the average, but offers more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things), the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them and 1 year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for more than a decade.
