Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two kids close in age the double stroller is essential. The best double strollers offer numerous ways to ride your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for a board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can be adapted to your family's needs seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats and a toddler car seat, making it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it's easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to place one child behind the other or have children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics, if desired. They're not very ventilated, so they can be like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. This 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. The only drawback is that it can be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat down, particularly if it is attached. It's still pretty compact, and can be tucked away easily.
There is a storage bin that is attached to the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly babies. It can be used right from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with a variety of bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest is bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. Also, the harness has been upgraded and no longer needs to be replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system that can handle any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are perfect for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to use a car seat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can accommodate another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
The 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 an YouTube video if you need assistance in understanding the instructions.

The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed for families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It features exciting improvements like a built-in foot rest and an updated reclined seat that promises the best comfort for children on long walks and jogging.

The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents an abundance of comfort and ease. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo, a high quality harness system and a handbrake that is perfectly adjusted. double pram and pushchair offers plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller feature reclined backrests and canopies that are independent. They're also engineered 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) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide a smooth ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller and 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 double strollers that are 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 metrics. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly when used for a long time. However, despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
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 travel wherever you want to go. It comes with an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in just a few seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it simpler. Its light aluminum frame along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection, and it includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow though. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping-test, 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, but it does provide plenty of storage space for its price and has plenty of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for stuff) as well as a the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) as well as a car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for infants. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is six months old to jog with them. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
