Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The best strollers offer numerous ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and the ability to attach a rider’s board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro’s favourite stroller. It can be adapted to your family’s needs seamlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as an infant seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double stroller for families searching for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It is a little bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a great reach, making it easy for my 6’1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that the children are facing each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are big and cover both fabric when desired. However, they don’t provide enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your kids.
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 to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It isn’t easy to maneuver around busy stores and restaurants. It can also be difficult to fold, especially when the seats are attached. It’s still small and can fit through most doors.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the top twin pushchair from birth strollers for new newborns. It can be used with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters 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 if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest is larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated since it doesn’t require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8″ in front and 11.5″ in back) and a strong suspension system that can navigate any terrain. The front wheels are rubber which makes them suitable for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to conquer the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child’s bicycle can also be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don’t wish to invest in a baby car seat. And if you have a child who is getting ready to stand, the Vista can accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and set up, though it can take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there’s also a YouTube video should you require further assistance.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the newest version of the popular all-terrain stroller and it’s designed to appeal to modern families who prioritize style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades like a built-in foot rest and a new reclined seat, which offers unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design is also upgraded to improve its maneuverability.
It is incredibly light, making it easy to drive and quick to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surface (such as pavement to grass) and the oversized tires offer enough traction for any terrain. It is able to easily climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces like city streets. It’s also easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that provides parents with an abundance of comfort and convenience. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, a convenient peekaboo and a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is precisely adjusted. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat and a massive cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule Jogger comes with a bassinet to accommodate strolling babies, and a double version that can fit two children. It comes with car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with an easy-folding system that can be folded with one hand to make it easier to transport or store. It’s also a green option since it is made of dyed-solution fabric in black color choices.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with various seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of each child. The double stroller’s two standard seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopy. They’re also designed to accept one of Chicco’s #1-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for additional straps and bars, as many competing models require.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably accommodates mom or dad, and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double jogging stroller stroller’s wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over 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 ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers how easy it is to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the folded stroller and carry it like the trunk of a car.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, though. First, it’s heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. Despite these issues we still believe that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side double stroller with all-wheel suspension Stroller – A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller for families with 2 children. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to travel wherever you’d like to go. It also features a compact double buggy umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double buggy strollers to lift in our tests.
This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for maximum comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow though. We also didn’t like the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, meaning you’ll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of angle which is a bit higher than the average for a amazon double stroller stroller. It’s also heavier than our top picks, however, it has an adequate amount of storage space at a reasonable price and comes with a decent amount of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) as well as a Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids), or car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them and 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for over 10 years.
