Twin Stroller Tools To Enhance Your Daily Life
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you're expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The top double strollers provide numerous ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can be adapted to your family's needs seamlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats as well as an infant seat. This makes it an excellent option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a little bigger 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 long reach, so it is easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be set up in a way that one child is behind another or so that the children face each the other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies are large and cover both fabric if desired. They're not very ventilated and can appear like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from one seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can even be used with a second bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It is difficult to fold the seat, particularly if it is attached. It's still small and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is a storage bin that fits on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is among the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8'' in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a sturdy suspension, which means it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are perfect for navigating gravel and rocks, while the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bike can be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can fit an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, although it does take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available should you require further assistance.

The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families who appreciate style, sustainability, and adventure. It features exciting upgrades with a built-in knee rest and a new reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children who take long walks and jogging. Its sleek, agile design also increases its maneuverability.
It's extremely light, making it a breeze to push and easy to accelerate when you're hitting the open road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surfaces (like pavement to grass) easily and the large wheels offer ample traction for even the most difficult terrains. It's able to climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces such as city streets. It's also easy to navigate narrow sidewalks and overcrowded parks.
While the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it an ideal jogger for parents. This includes an oversized canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as a convenient peekaboo window a high-quality harness system, and a handbrake integrated with an extremely tuned lever. It also has ideal storage options, including inside-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds, with an open-top cover.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the preferences and needs of every child. The two stroller seats of 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 and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for additional bars and straps, like 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 offer smooth riding across all terrains. The one-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 metric is based on how easy 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 tray, engage and disengage brakes, lift the stroller that is folded and carry it like an actual trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme end of our metric than the average for this class of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the rear. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these issues we still consider this to be an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to maneuver on flat surfaces, and lock for stability on bumpy surfaces making it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also comes with an umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds and can be set up to make it easy to transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame with foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both children. The canopy is large enough to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It also includes a peekaboo window to allow for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of angle which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's also a little heavier than our top picks but it does provide an adequate amount of storage space for its cost and has plenty of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for things) as well as a Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) or car seat mode. double running buggy can accommodate a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is six months old to jog with them. It is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
