Why Twin Stroller Is The Right Choice For You
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best double strollers offer different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and a board attachment.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can be used with two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double pushchair side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It has a good reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed so that one child sits on top of the other or so that the children are facing each one. They can also recline in a different way from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. 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-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate in crowded shops and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it's connected. It is still fairly small, however, and can be tucked away easily.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to 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 huge and can hold up to 100 lbs that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat is now elevated by a half inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized in that it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system that can take on any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to use a car seat. And if you have a child who is getting ready to sit n Stand double stroller, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up, though it can take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's an YouTube video in case you need assistance understanding the instructions.

Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that can be adjusted to each child's unique needs and preferences. The double stroller's standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 rated infant car seat, in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer a smooth ride on any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the folded stroller and carry it as if it were an actual trunk.
We did find some drawbacks 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 metric. It also has limited visibility in the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after long-term use. However, despite these issues, we consider this to be a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double running stroller Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller 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 has a compact umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation. Its lightweight aluminum frame along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We didn't like that the cup holder is very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of angle, which is above average for a double pushchair stroller. It's a bit heavier and has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional, and offers three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you run with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
