Best Twin Stroller For Newborns

If you're expecting twins, or have two kids close in age the double stroller is essential. The best ones provide different ways for your children 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 favourite 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 excellent choice for twins.

Bugaboo Donkey

This is the best twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double travel buggy side-byside stroller. It's a little 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 has a long reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.

Seats are comfortable and can be placed in a way that one child is in front of another or so that children are facing each other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your kids.

This stroller has an unique feature that allows it to expand with you and your family. It can convert from one seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.

It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle slopes and stairs well. The only drawback is that it can be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, especially when the seats are connected. It is still fairly small, however, and is able to fit through most doors easily.

There is an extra storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is big and can hold up 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller on our list!

Uppababy Vista V2

This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a range of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. 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 a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.

The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system that lets it navigate any terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.

Another excellent feature is the ability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, making it a handy option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have an older child who is ready to stand, the Vista can also accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board.

The Vista is simple to use and install. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also a YouTube video for assistance if you require more information.

Thule Urban Glide 3

The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of this popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's made to draw the attention of modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features that include a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children who take long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design has been enhanced to allow for better mobility.

It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and quick to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able to handle abrupt changes in surface (like pavement to grass) easily and the oversized wheels provide plenty of traction on even the most difficult terrains. It is able to easily climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces, like city streets. It's even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.

While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule qualities that make it the ideal jogger for parents. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, an easy peekaboo feature as well as a premium harness system and a handbrake that's perfectly adjusted. It also comes with ample storage, including in-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds, with a zip-top cover.

This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, and a double stroller for twins version that can fit two children. It comes with car seat adapters so that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has a one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also an eco-friendly choice, as it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black color choices.

Cortina Together

Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that can be adjusted to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. The seats are also designed to accept 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 in the rear offers ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to allow for dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across all terrains, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.

In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller and adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers, install and remove an infant car seat.

This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the top of our metric. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after prolonged usage. Despite these issues, we think this is a great double stroller that will be able to keep your family together for many years to come.

Jeep compact double stroller Stroller

The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight double buggy, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two children. The front lock wheels swivel and rotate for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in seconds. It also stands upright to make moving it easier. Its lightweight aluminum frame along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers in our tests.

This tandem stroller comes with independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would have liked to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to access it.

In our tipping-test it was found that the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than average for double prams. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space for the cost and has ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.

The stroller is a versatile model with three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for things), 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. 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 more than a decade.
