10 Strategies To Build Your Twin Stroller Empire
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you are expecting twins or have two children of similar ages. The best double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for boards.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can hold two infant car seats as well an infant seat which makes it an ideal choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double pushchairs stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It is a little bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy 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 loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be placed to place one child in front of the other, or to have children face each other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats, if desired. However, they don't provide adequate ventilation, so they could appear like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes with ease. It can be difficult to maneuver through crowded restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, particularly when the seats are attached. It is still fairly compact though, and it is able to fit through most doors easily.
There is an extra 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 support up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new babies. It is compatible with a range of bassinets and infant car seats (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 at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy has an extender fabric that zips out and adds extra coverage. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that lets it handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels are more grippy to handle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have an older child who is able to stand, the Vista can accommodate the third child using its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, though it takes some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there's also an YouTube video to help if you need more help.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for add-on bars and straps, like other models that require.
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 gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension offer a smooth ride across any terrain, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores 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, disengage and engage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk and for double strollers compatible, install and remove the infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which puts it close to the top of our measurement. Additionally, it has limited visibility in the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after prolonged usage. However, despite these issues, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep your family together for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double jogging stroller Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It has a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests to provide the best comfort for both children. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also didn't love the fact that the cup holder is very high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double running buggy stroller. It's heavier than the average, but offers more storage for the money. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a walker (for things) as well as a Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for infants. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
