Best Twin Stroller For Newborns

A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best strollers offer different ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and the ability to attach a rider's board.

Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family grows. It can hold two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins starting at birth.

Bugaboo Donkey

This is the ideal twin stroller for families that need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. It has 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 fully loaded.

The seats are spacious and can be set up to place one child in front of the other, or to have children face each other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies are huge and cover both seat fabrics should you wish. They're not a lot of ventilation and can be like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.

One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from the 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 with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.

It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver through crowded eateries and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it is connected. It's still compact and fits through most 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 supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 pounds, which is more than any other stroller on this list!

Uppababy Vista v2

This stroller is among the best 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 for twins stroller right out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.

In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been modernized - it doesn't require replaced, making it easier to adjust.

The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system that allows it to handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels are more grippy to handle grassy hills and sidewalks.

Another great feature is the capability to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which can be an excellent option for those who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have an older child who is ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit a third kid with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.

The Vista is easy to use and set up. It does take some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there's also an YouTube video to help if you need more help.

Thule Urban Glide 3

The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of this renowned all terrain double stroller terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements, including a built-in leg rest and a reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children who take long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design has also been enhanced to allow for better mobility.

It's extremely light, which makes it a breeze to push and quick to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able cope with sudden changes in surface (such as grass to pavement) and the oversized tires offer enough traction for any terrain. It can climb kerbs without difficulty and can turn in tight spaces like city streets with ease. It's easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.

While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it an ideal jogger for parents. The large canopy offers excellent sun protection, a convenient peekaboo as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that's perfectly adjusted. It is packed with storage space, including pockets inside the seat and a large cargo bag that can accommodate up to 15 pounds.

This Thule Jogger also has a bassinet, for strolling newborns and a double version that can accommodate two kids. It comes with car seat adapters so that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has a one-handed folding system to help you transport it or store. It's also a green option, as it uses dyed-solution fabric in black color options.

Cortina Together

Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that let them adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double tandem pushchair stroller feature reclined backrests and canopies that are separate. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one rated infant car seat, in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).

A large, zipper-accessible basket in the rear offers ample storage space for the gear. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer smooth riding on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.

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, adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and take off an infant car seat.

The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the beast side of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is placed in the back. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. However, despite these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that can keep up with your family for a long time.

Jeep Double Stroller

Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also has a compact umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers we tested.

This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests for the best comfort for both children. Its oversized canopy extends to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder sits quite high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to reach it.

In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the average for the double pram. It's also heavier than our top picks, but it offers plenty of storage space for its price and has ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.

The stroller is a versatile model with three modes: wagon (just to store things) and the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and 1 year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
