Best twin pushchairs Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or have two children that are close in age, a double stroller is a must. The best double strollers offer numerous ways to ride your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels 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, so it's easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
The seats are large and can be positioned to place one child on top of the other, or to have the children face each other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies are huge, covering both seat fabrics if desired. They're not very ventilated and can feel like an oven on hot days. There's no way to see your children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used in conjunction with another car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver through crowded stores and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are attached. It is still fairly compact though, and it can be tucked away easily.
There is a storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the best twin strollers designed for new borns. It can be used right from the box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system, which allows it to take on any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal for navigating gravel and rocks and the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bike can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who do not want to invest in a baby car seat. And if you have a child who is able to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's a YouTube video if you need assistance understanding the instructions.

The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed for families who appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features that include a built-in leg rest and a reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design improves its mobility.
It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and speedy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension handles abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) easily and the large wheels offer ample traction for even the roughest of terrain.

Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that let them adjust 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 separate. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's #1-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 other models that require.
A large, zipper-access basket in the rear offers ample storage space for your equipment. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across all types of terrain and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation make stopping easy.
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 set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and disengage the brakes, lift and carry the stroller as if putting it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible, install and remove the infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this group of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the back. Additionally, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. However, despite these limitations, we consider this to be a great lightest double stroller stroller that will keep your family together for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight double stroller, affordable stroller ideal for families with two kids. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to go where you'd like to go. It comes with an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it simpler. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both children. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented to let in more airflow however. We weren't a fan of the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach 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 the average for a double pram. It's a bit heavier, but offers more storage space for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things), Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them. They should also be 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
