Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two children who are similar in age the double stroller is a must. The top double strollers provide different ways to ride your children with side-by-side seating and a board attachment.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an ideal option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-byside double buggy that converts to single stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It has a handlebar which 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.
Seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child sits in front of another or so that the children are facing each one. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics If you want. But they don't have much ventilation so they can appear like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from one seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes with ease. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It can be difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it is connected. It's still small and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is massive and can hold up to 100 lbs, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the best twin buggy from birth strollers for newborns. It can be used right from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters let you use two infant car seats at the same time.
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 comes with a zip-out fabric extender that provides additional coverage. The harness has also been upgraded and doesn't require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in front and 11.5 in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it is able to easily navigate a variety of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to conquer paths and grassy hills.
Another excellent feature is the ability to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, making it 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 ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit a third kid with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista Vista is simple to use and install. It does take some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the newest version of this popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's designed to appeal to modern families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features, including a built-in leg rest and updated reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children who take long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design has been upgraded to improve its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, which makes it a breeze to push and easy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension is able handle sudden changes in surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the oversized tires are able to withstand any terrain. It can climb kerbs without difficulty and can turn in tight spaces such as city streets with precision. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that offers parents plenty of comfort and convenience. It comes with a huge canopy that offers great sun protection, an easy-to-see window that can be opened for peekaboo, a high-quality harness system, and an integrated handbrake with an incredibly tuned lever.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that can be adjusted to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double running buggy stroller's two standard seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopies. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access large basket offers ample storage space for all of your gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across all terrains, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were a trunk.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this category of strollers. It also has a limited view from the back seat when a car seat is installed. In addition the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues we still consider this to be a great stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front allow for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it simpler. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double seat stroller strollers we have seen in our tests.
This tandem stroller comes with independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It also has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than average for the double pushchairs pram. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks however, it has plenty of storage space for its price and comes with a decent amount of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and offers three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things), the jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids) as well as a car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them and one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. 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.
