Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two kids close in age, a double stroller is a must. The best strollers offer different ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as the ability to attach a rider's board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as the toddler seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that retracts and extends easily. It also has a great reach, so it is easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be placed so that one child sits in front of another or so that children face each one. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. They don't have much ventilation, so they can appear like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way 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 the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It can be difficult to fold the seat back, particularly if it is connected. It's still compact and fits through most doors.
There is a storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 pounds, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers designed for newborns. It can be used with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has added a few enhancements to make it even better. The toddler seat has been elevated by a half inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized - it doesn't require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a robust suspension system, which can navigate any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are ideal for navigating gravel and rocks and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks and grassy hills.
Another great feature is the ability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which can be a handy option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have an older child who is getting ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up. However, it takes some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there is also an YouTube video to help should you require further assistance.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller and it's designed to draw the attention of modern families who prioritize style, sustainability, and adventure. double pram pushchair features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and a reclining seat, which promises unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclined backrests and canopies that are separate. 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) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for adding bars and straps, like many other models need.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access basket offers plenty of storage space for your gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across all types of terrain, while the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift the folded stroller and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 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 is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Even with these limitations, we consider this to be a great double stroller that will keep your family together for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also has an umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both children. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It also comes with a peekaboo view window for easy monitoring. We would have liked to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder is very high up on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test 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 however, it has more storage space for the price. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes that include wagon (just for things) as well as jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them. They should also be one year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over 10 years.
