10 Healthy Habits To Use Twin Stroller
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The best double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats as well as an infant seat. This makes it an ideal option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most compact double stroller suitable twin stroller for families that need a stylish, cheap double buggy side-byside stroller. It is a little bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It also has a great reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be placed so that one child is in front of the other or to have the children face each other. They can also recline separately from one another. The canopies are large and cover both seat fabrics when desired. But they don't have much ventilation so they can feel like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window that allows children to peek in.
This stroller features an unique feature that lets it expand with your family. It can be converted from a single seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
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 the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when seats are attached. It is still fairly compact, and does fit through most doors easily.
There is a storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly borns. It can be used with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at once.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy has a zip-out fabric extender that gives extra coverage. The harness has been updated since it doesn't require re-threading. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system, which lets it navigate any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to conquer the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great solution for parents who do not want to invest in a baby car seat. And if you have an older child who is ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up. It does take some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also a YouTube video if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of this renowned all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and a reclined seat, which offers the best comfort for children on long jogging and walks. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced to allow for better maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension handles abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) easily and the large wheels provide ample traction for even the roughest of terrain. It's able to move up kerbs and around tight spaces such as city streets. It's also easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents plenty of comfort and ease. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, an easy peekaboo and a top-quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is perfectly tuned. It also comes with plenty of storage, including in-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds with an open-top cover.
This Thule Jogger also has an infant bassinet for babies who need to stroll and a double prams with UV protection Canopy model to accommodate two kids. It is compatible with car seat adapters, so you can use your child's infant carrier, and it comes with a one-handed fold to make it easy to transport and put away. It's also a green choice, using solution-dyed fabrics in its black colors to reduce the use of water.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are completely independent. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer an easy ride on any terrain. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects how easy it is for you to open and close the snack tray and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. It also is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly when used for a long time. However, despite these issues, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will keep your family together for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double stroller with bassinet Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features an umbrella fold that folds down in seconds and stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This tandem stroller features independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping-test in our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than the norm for double prams. It's also a little heavier than our top picks but it offers plenty of storage space at a reasonable price and comes with ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and features three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things) or jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians advise 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. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for more than 10 years.
