Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two children who are similar in age, a double stroller is a must. The best
double tandem pushchair strollers offer different ways to ride your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can fit two infant car seats, as well as a toddler seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side
double umbrella stroller stroller. It's a more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a long reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it when fully laden.
The seats are comfortable and can be positioned to place one child on top of the other, or to have children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of one other. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics when desired. They're not very ventilated which makes them be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
This stroller has an exclusive feature that allows it to grow with your family. It can convert from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. The only issue is that it could be difficult to navigate busy restaurants and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat down, particularly if it is connected. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there is an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other 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 infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double
stroller double right out of the box. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with a zip-out fabric extender that adds extra coverage. The harness has been updated, as it does not require re-threading. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system, which lets it take on any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are ideal for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks or grassy hills.
Another feature that is great is the capability to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is an excellent option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand then the Vista stroller can fit a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, however it takes some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's an YouTube video to help if you require assistance understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller and it's made to attract modern families that are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It's got exciting new features including a built-in feet rest and a new reclined seat, which offers unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogging. Its sleek, agile design also enhances its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it simple to drive and quick to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able to take on sudden changes in the surface (such as pavement to grass) and the large tires are able to withstand any terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty and can turn in tight spaces like city streets with ease. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are not a problem.
The new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that gives parents a great deal of comfort and ease. The oversized canopy provides excellent sun protection, comes with a convenient peekaboo as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that is precisely tuned. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets on the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule Jogger also comes with bassinets, ideal for strolling babies, and a double model to accommodate two kids. It also has car seat adapters so that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also comes with an easy-folding system that can be folded with one hand to make it easier to transport or store. It's also a green choice since it is made of dyed solution in its black color options.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with various seating options to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller feature canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on bars and straps, like many other models need.
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for gear. The wheels and suspension 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 simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based upon how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, raise the stroller that is folded and carry it like the trunk of a car.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme side of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these issues we still believe that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller for families with 2 children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to move on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to go where you want to go. It also has a compact umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its light aluminum frame along with the foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers that we have tested.
This tandem stroller features independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The canopy is large enough to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It comes with a peekaboo view window for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love the fact that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks, however, it has plenty of storage space for its price and has plenty of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things), Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to run with them. It's black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
