Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins, or have two children that are close in age A double stroller is a must. The top double strollers provide multiple ways to ride for your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for a board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats and a toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It is a little more bulkier than 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 spacious, and can be set up in a way that one child is behind another or so that children face each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. They don't have much ventilation and can feel like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to see your children.
This stroller has an exclusive feature that lets it expand with your family. It can be converted from one seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can even be used with another car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles slopes and stairs well. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded restaurants and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat, especially if it's attached. It's still quite small, however, and does fit through most doors easily.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the most popular twin strollers for newly borns. It is compatible with a range of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at once.
Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in front and 11.5'' in the back) with a strong suspension, so it is able to handle a variety of terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who do not want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can fit a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and install. It does take some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there is also an YouTube video to help should you require further assistance.

It has a large canopy that offers great sun protection, a convenient peekaboo window a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is integrated with a an incredibly tuned lever.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller have reclining backrests, and canopies that are separate. 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) with the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for add-on bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A large, zipper-access basket on the rear offers ample storage space for the equipment. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller offer an easy ride on any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This metric is based upon the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which puts it closer to the beast end of our metrics. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is placed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after long-term use. However, despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller for your family.
double tandem pushchair - an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal 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 get where you want to go. It also comes with an umbrella fold that folds down in seconds and stands upright for easy transportation. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and includes an open view for easy monitoring. We would have liked to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't like that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average, but offers more storage for the money. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This versatile stroller has three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for things) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can be used with one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them and one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for over 10 years.
