Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best ones offer 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.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats as well an infant seat, making it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who want a stylish double buggy that converts to single side-by-side stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a long reach, so my husband who is 6'1" can easily push it, even when fully laden.
The seats are comfortable and can be set up to place one child in front of the other or to have children facing each the other. They can also recline in a different way from each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics, if desired. They don't have much ventilation and can be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most unique aspects 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. It is the only double buggy that converts to single stroller convertible to do this. It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes well. The only drawback is that it can be difficult to navigate through crowded shops and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are attached. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is an additional storage bin that fits on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for groceries and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a Double Strollers With Peek-A-Boo Windows stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8'' in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to conquer paths and grassy hills.
Another great feature is the ability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is a handy option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have an older child who is getting ready to stand, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride along board.
The Vista is easy to use and set up, although it does take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video in case you need assistance understanding the instructions.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed for families who are looking for style, sustainability and adventure. It features exciting upgrades with a built-in knee rest and updated reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design enhances its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it a breeze to push and swift to accelerate when you're hitting the open road. Its suspension can handle abrupt changes in surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the large wheels offer plenty of traction on even the most difficult terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces like streets in cities with aplomb. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are no problem.
Although the 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, has an easy peekaboo, a high quality harness system and a handbrake that's perfectly tuned. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets on the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule Jogger also comes with an infant bassinet for strolling newborns, and a double model to accommodate two children. It comes with car seat adapters, meaning 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 choice since it is made of dyed-solution fabric in black color options.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents a variety of seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of each child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopy. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a zippered rear access basket offers plenty of storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels ensure a smooth ride on all terrains and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller and to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller as if placing it in a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and remove an infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the beast side of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues we still think that this is an excellent stroller double for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also has a compact umbrella fold that closes in seconds and stands upright for easy transport. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This tandem stroller features independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also didn't love that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over with only a 39-degree angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks but it does provide a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable price and has ample padding on the seats and handle.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes: wagon (just to store things) as well as the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to run with them. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist in the field of parenting and outdoor for more than 10 years.
