Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children of the same age. The best ones provide numerous ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as the ability to attach a rider's board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It can be adapted to your family's needs effortlessly. It can fit two infant car seats and an infant seat which makes it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a long reach, so it is easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be positioned in a way that one child is on top of the other or so that the children are facing each other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics if desired. They're not a lot of ventilation and can be like an oven on hot days. There's no way to see your kids.
One of the most unique features 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. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used in conjunction with another car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver in crowded eateries and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat, particularly if it is attached. It's still small and can fit through most doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is massive and can accommodate up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the most popular twin strollers for newly newborns. It can be used straight from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with a variety of bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats simultaneously.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat is now elevated by a half inch, the footrest is bigger and the canopy comes with an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has been updated in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system, which can take on any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are perfect for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bike can 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. If you have a child who's old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and set up, however it does take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also a YouTube video to help if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of this renowned all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements, including a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children who take long jogs and walks. Its sleek, agile design also increases its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and speedy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able to handle sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires are able to withstand any terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no trouble and it turns in tight spaces such as streets in cities with aplomb. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule characteristics that make it a top jogger for parents. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, comes with an easy peekaboo feature as well as a premium harness system, and an integrated handbrake that is precisely tuned. It has plenty of storage space, including pockets in the seat and a large cargo bag that can accommodate up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also has an infant bassinet for strolling newborns and a double version that can accommodate two children. It can be used with car seat adapters so you can use your infant carrier and it comes with a fold that is one-handed, making it easy to carry or to store. It's also an eco-friendly choice, as it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black color choices.
Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that can be adjusted to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopy. They're also designed to take 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 adding bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels provide a smooth ride over any terrain and the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This is based on the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers the ease with which it is to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, raise the folded stroller and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the beast end of our measurement. It also has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. Additionally the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. Despite these issues, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 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 an umbrella fold that folds down in seconds and stands upright for easy transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame, carrying strap and handle made of foam 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 for the best comfort for both children. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, though. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder sits quite high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping-test in our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than the average for the double pram. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks but it offers plenty of storage space for the price and comes with ample padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things) and jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you jog with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
