Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can accommodate two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.

This is the best double strollers twin stroller for families that are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller.

The canopies cover both seat fabrics should you wish to. They're not very ventilated, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only convertible double stroller 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 can handle slopes and steps with ease. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when seats are connected. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for groceries and other things. 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!

This stroller is among the top twin strollers for newborns. It is compatible with a range of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when 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 about half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been upgraded and does not require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to easily navigate a variety of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to conquer the grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the ability to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be an excellent option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that allow them to adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The double infant strollers stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed 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) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for additional straps and bars, as many other models need.
A large, zipper-accessible basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to allow for dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across all terrains, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated 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 fold and set up the stroller. It also includes the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift 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 is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this category of strollers. Additionally, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is in place. Lastly, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. However, despite these issues, we consider this to be an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double buggy newborn Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two kids. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to move on flat surfaces and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces which makes it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also comes with an umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transportation. Its light aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both kids. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits quite high up on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average and has more storage space for the price. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) or the jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children), or car seat mode. It can be used with one infant car seat, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over a decade.
