Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The best ones 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 who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can be used with two infant car seats, as well as an infant seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It also has a fantastic reach, making it easy for my husband of 6’1 to push, even when loaded.
The seats are large and can be placed so that one child is on top of the other or to have children face each one. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies are large, covering both seat fabrics if desired. But they don’t have much ventilation so they can feel like a small oven on hot days. There’s no way to see your kids.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family’s needs from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way up 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 a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver around busy restaurants and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when seats are attached. It’s still small and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is a storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. It is great for grocery shopping and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the best twin strollers designed for new babies. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. The toddler seat has been elevated by a half inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8” in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to handle a variety of terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones, while the rear wheels are more grippy to handle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to connect a child’s bicycle to the front of the stroller, making it an ideal option for parents who don’t want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand up and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, however it can take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there is a YouTube video to help if you require help understanding them.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the most recent version of this popular all terrain stroller. It’s designed to appeal to families who appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting improvements including a built-in feet rest and a new reclined seat, which offers unmatched comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design enhances its maneuverability.
It’s extremely light, which makes it easy to push and quick to accelerate on the road. Its suspension can take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the large tires are able to withstand any terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no trouble and it turns in tight spaces such as city streets with ease. It’s even a breeze to navigate narrow sidewalks and crowded parks.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule qualities that make it a top jogger for parents. This includes an oversized canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a top-quality harness system and a handbrake integrated with a perfectly in-tuned lever. 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 includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling babies, as well as a double version that can accommodate two children. It can be used with car seat adapters so that you can use your infant carrier and it comes with a fold that’s one-handed to make it easy to carry or to store. It also comes in a green option, using dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black color options to minimize water consumption.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with various seating options to meet the needs and preferences of every child. The double stroller’s standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. They’re also designed to accept 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 other models that require.
double buggy padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access large basket provides ample storage space for your gear. The tandem double stroller’s wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on all terrains and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based upon the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the stroller that is folded and carry it like a trunk.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, however. First, it’s heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the extreme end of our metrics. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the back. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. Despite these issues, we think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two kids. Its lock wheels on the front can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features an umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers that we have tested.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests to ensure the best comfort for both children. The canopy is large enough to provide UPF 50 sun protection, and it includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was vented to let in more airflow however. We also weren’t thrilled that the cup holder is very high on the frame, which means 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 average for the double pram. It’s also a little heavier than our top picks, but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space for the price and comes with ample padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional and features three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to jog with them. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for over a decade.
