Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats and a toddler seat, making it a great choice for twins from birth.

Bugaboo Donkey

This is the best double buggy double buggy with carrycot stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a good reach, so my husband who is 6'1" is able to easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.

The seats are comfortable and can be set up to place one child on top of the other or have children facing each other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. They're not very ventilated, so they can be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to see the children.

This stroller features a unique feature that lets it grow with your family. It can go from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller with large canopy stroller convertible to do this. It can be used with another car seat or bassinet for newborns.

It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are attached. It's still small and can fit through most doors.

In mono mode, there's a storage bin next to the front seats. This is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller on our list!

Uppababy Vista v2

This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a range of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.

The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which provides additional coverage. The harness has also been updated and doesn't require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.

The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system, which can handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels are more grippy to handle grassy hills and sidewalks.

Another great feature is the capability to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is a handy option for those who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have a child who is getting ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.

The Vista is simple to use and to set up. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's a YouTube video if you need assistance in understanding the steps.

The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the newest version of the popular stroller that is designed to attract modern families that value style, sustainability and adventure.

Cortina Together

Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents the option of seating to meet the preferences and needs of each child. The two seats in the double stroller feature reclining backrests, and canopies that are separate. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).

A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure a smooth ride on all terrains. The one-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping a breeze.

In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller and to adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it in a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and take off an infant car seat.

There are some downsides to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the beast 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 back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, especially after prolonged usage. However, despite these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will be able to keep your family together for many years to come.

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 lock wheels on the front allow 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 is also able to stand upright, making transporting it simpler. Its lightweight aluminum frame, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the easiest double buggy travel system strollers to lift during our tests.

This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We also didn't like the fact that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to access it.

In our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than average for a double pram. It's a bit heavier and has more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.

This stroller is multi-functional, and offers three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things) or jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to jog with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
