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 with you, including side-by-side seating as well as a rider board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can fit two infant car seats as well as an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that retracts and extends easily. It also has a long reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be placed in a way that one child is in front of another or so that the children are facing each the other. They can also recline separately from one another. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics if desired. However, they don't provide much ventilation so they can be like a tiny oven on hot days. There's no way to see your kids.
This stroller comes with a unique feature that allows it to grow with you and your family. It can convert 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 another bassinet or car seat for infants.
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 be difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it's connected. It's still quite compact, and does fit through most doors easily.
There is an additional 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 underneath the seats is big and can hold up 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the top twin strollers for new borns. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous 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 changes to make it better. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest is more space, and the canopy is equipped with a zip-out fabric extender that provides additional coverage. The harness has also been modernized in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it is able to easily navigate a variety of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to conquer paths and grassy hills.
Another great feature is the ability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which is an ideal option for parents who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have an older child who is able to stand and walk, the Vista can accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
Vista Vista is simple to use and set up. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also an YouTube video to help should you require further assistance.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The double stroller's standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 rated infant car seat, in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zip-up basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is cushioned to fit dad or mom. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride on all terrains. The one-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based upon the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were a trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme side of our metric than the average for this category of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is placed in the back. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues, we consider this to be a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller that is ideal for families with two 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'd like to go. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making moving it easier. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double stroller s we tested.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both kids. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder is very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping-test, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than average for a double pram. It's a little heavier however, it has more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is multi-functional and features three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things) as well as a the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) or car seat mode. It can accommodate one infant car seat, 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 comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for over 10 years.
