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 double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for a board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It can adapt to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat, making it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a great reach, so it's easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
Seats are large and can be positioned so that one child sits behind another or so that the children are facing each the other. They can also recline separately from one another. The canopies are huge and cover both fabric if desired. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family 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 even be used with an additional car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and is able to handle steps and slopes well. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, especially when seats are tucked away. It's still small and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. It is great for grocery shopping and other things. double pram pushchair under the seats is big 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 newborns. It can be used with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at the same time.
Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has added a few enhancements to make it better. The toddler seat is about an inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which gives extra coverage. The harness has also been updated and doesn't require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system that lets it navigate any terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to conquer the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of the stroller. double pram pushchair is a great choice for parents who don't wish to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up, however it does take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also a YouTube video for assistance if you require more information.

It features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and a new reclining seat, which promises unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogging.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents various seating options to meet the needs and preferences of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are completely independent. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-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 other models need.
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to allow for dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over all types of terrain and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of 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 deengage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if placing it into a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme side of our metric than the average for this class of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car-seat is installed in the rear. Additionally the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after long-term use. However, despite these limitations, we think this is 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 kids. Its lock wheels on the front allow for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with an umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds and can be set up to make it easy to transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift in our tests.
This side-by-side stroller offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests for the best comfort for both children. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection, and it comes with a peekaboo view window to allow for easy monitoring. We would prefer to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't like that the cup holder sits very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend to access it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of angle which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, but it offers plenty of storage space at a reasonable cost and has plenty of padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff), jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can fit a single infant car seat. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to jog with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
