5 Twin Stroller Projects For Any Budget
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The best ones provide multiple ways for your kids to ride, including side-by-side seating and the ability to attach a rider's board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats and a toddler seat. This makes it an excellent option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families that are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side 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 extend and retract 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.
Seats are comfortable and can be placed so that one child sits on top of the other or so that the children are facing each the other. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. They don't have much ventilation and can appear like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to look at your children.
This stroller comes with an unique feature that lets it grow with you and your family. It can be converted from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used in conjunction with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and is able to handle steps and slopes well. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it's connected. It's still pretty compact though, and it 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 great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is massive and can hold up to 100 lbs which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the best twin strollers designed for new babies. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated since it doesn't require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 in the front and 11.5 in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it can easily handle a variety of terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. The rear wheels are more grippy to handle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who do not want to use a car seat. If you have an older child who is able to stand in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, though it can take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there is a YouTube video if you need assistance in understanding them.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents a variety of seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of each child. The double pushchairs stroller's two standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopies. They're also designed to take 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 straps and bars, as other models that require.
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access basket offers plenty of storage space for all of your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it in a trunk and for double strollers that are compatible install and remove an infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which puts it closer to the top of our metrics. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. However, despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that will keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep double single pushchair Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight double stroller, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to maneuver on flat surfaces, and secure for stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also comes with a compact umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight Twin Buggy, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The canopy is large enough to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It also has a peekaboo window that allows to allow for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We also didn't like that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline, which is above average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average however, it has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things) and jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can fit one infant car seat, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them, and 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 in the field of parenting and outdoor for more than a decade.
