The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as an infant seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that retracts and extends easily. It also has a fantastic reach, making it easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that children are facing each other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics should you wish to. They're not a lot of ventilation which makes them appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from one seat (Mono mode) all the way 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 a second bassinet or car seat for babies.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be a challenge to maneuver around busy eateries and shops. It can also be difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are connected. It is still fairly compact, and can be tucked away easily.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other supplies. 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!

This is among the most popular twin pushchair strollers for newly newborns. It is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest is more space and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and adds extra coverage. Additionally, the harness has been updated and no longer needs to be re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system that can navigate any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are perfect to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who do not want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and install. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's an YouTube video if you need help understanding the steps.

The two seats in the double single pushchair stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are completely independent.

In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift the stroller that is folded and carry it like the trunk of a car.
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, and is heavier than the average for this class of strollers. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when a car seat is installed. Lastly, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly when used for a long time. However, despite these issues, we still consider this to be a great double stroller that will keep your family together for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that's perfect for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It has a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in just a few seconds. It can also stand upright to make moving it easier. 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 side-by-side stroller offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both children. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks however, it has plenty of storage space for the price and has ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This versatile stroller has three modes that include wagon (just to store things), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them, and one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for over 10 years.
