How To Tell If You re Ready For Twin Stroller
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best strollers offer different ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and a rider board attachment.
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 an infant seat, making it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families searching for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It is a little more bulkier than 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 has a decent reach so my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when fully laden.
Seats are large and can be placed in a way that one child is on top of the other or so that children are facing each the other. They can also recline separately from one another. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small double stroller oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from a single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. This 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 a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes with ease. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat, especially if it's connected. It's still quite compact though, and it does fit through most doors easily.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the top twin strollers for 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 infant car seats or bassets simultaneously if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has added a few enhancements to make it even better. The toddler seat is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy has an extender for the fabric that zips out, which gives extra coverage. Also, the harness has been upgraded and does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it can easily handle any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to conquer grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who do not want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child who is ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
The Vista is simple 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 for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of the popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's designed to draw the attention of modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades such as a built-in foot rest and an updated reclined seat, which offers unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design improves its mobility.
It's incredibly lightweight, making it a breeze to push and quick to accelerate once you're on the road. Its suspension can take on sudden changes in the surface (such as pavement to grass) and the oversized tires are able to withstand any terrain. It can easily climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces like city streets with ease. It's even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that provides parents with plenty of comfort and convenience. It comes with a huge canopy that provides great sun protection, an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake integrated with an extremely tuned lever. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets inside the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
This Thule jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling infants, and a double version that can fit two children. It is compatible with car seat adapters so you can use your infant carrier and it features a simple one-handed fold to make it easy to carry or to store. It's also available in green, using solutions-dyed fabrics with black hues to cut down on water consumption.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that can be adjusted to each child's unique needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopies. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-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 additional straps and bars, as other models that require.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access large basket offers ample storage space for your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller ensure smooth riding across all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and puts it closer to the beast end of our metrics. 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, especially after prolonged usage. Despite these issues, we think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Buggy That Converts To Single Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It can also stand upright to make moving it easier. Its lightweight aluminum frame along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This stroller has independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow however. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double single pushchair stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks however, it has an adequate amount of storage space for its price and comes with plenty of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional and features three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff) as well as a Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids), or 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 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
