How Do You Know If You're Ready To Go After Twin Stroller
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best double strollers offer numerous ways to ride your children including side by side seating and a board attachment.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It can be adapted to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats and a toddler car seat which makes it an ideal choice for twins from birth.
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 however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It has a good reach so my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it when fully laden.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed so that one child sits on top of the other or so that the children are facing each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are big, covering both seat fabrics when desired. They don't have much ventilation and can be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from the single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can even be used with a second car seat or bassinet for newborns.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle stairs and slopes well. The only drawback is that it can be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It is difficult to fold the seat, especially if it's connected. It's still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that can be tucked away on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other items. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can support up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the top twin strollers for new newborns. It can be used straight from the box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at once.
In comparison to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat is now elevated by a half inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an extra fabric extension that zips out. Also, the harness has been modernized - it does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system, which allows it to navigate any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to invest in a baby car seat. And if you have an older child who is ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can even fit an additional child with its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and install. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also a YouTube video if you need more help.
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 comes with exciting upgrades like a built-in foot rest and a new reclining seat, which promises the best comfort for children on long walks and jogs. Its sleek, agile design improves its mobility.
It's extremely light, making it easy to push and swift to accelerate once you're on the road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surfaces (like grass to pavement) effortlessly, and the oversized wheels provide ample traction for even the roughest of terrains. It can climb kerbs without difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces such as city streets with ease. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are no problem.
The brand new Urban Glide 3 is a superior jogger that gives parents a great deal of comfort and convenience. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, comes with an easy peekaboo feature as well as a premium harness system and an integrated handbrake that's perfectly tuned. It is packed with storage space, including pockets in the seat and a large cargo bag that can hold up to 15 pounds.
double buggy comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, and a double version that can accommodate two children. It is compatible with car seat adapters, so you can use your child's infant carrier, and it features a simple one-handed fold to make it easy to transport and to store. It also comes in a green option, using dyed solution-dyed fabrics in black color options to minimize water consumption.
Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two seats in the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are separate. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on bars and straps, like other models that require.
A comfortable 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access basket offers plenty of storage space for gear. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across all types of terrain, while the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of 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 reflects the ease with which it is to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, raise the stroller when folded and then carry it like the trunk of a car.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which puts it closer to the top of our measurement. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. In addition the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues we still think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. Its lock wheels on the front allow for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in just a few seconds. It also stands upright to make transporting it easier. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift during our tests.
This tandem stroller features independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We also didn't like that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep tipped over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the norm for the double pram. It's also a little heavier than our top picks however, it has plenty of storage space for its cost and has ample padding in the seats as well as the handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a walker (for things) as well as a jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can fit one infant car seat, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be 1 year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
