Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you are expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best ones provide numerous ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as the ability to attach a rider's board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats as well a toddler seat which makes it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a great reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child sits in front of another or so that children face each other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics when desired. They don't have much ventilation, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most unique features of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from a single 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 in conjunction with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It can also be difficult to fold, particularly when seats are tucked away. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other items. The main storage basket under the seats is big and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the top twin strollers for new borns. It is compatible with a variety 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 let you use two infant car seats simultaneously.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized in that it does not need to be re-threaded. 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 that allows it to navigate any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to tackle paths and grassy hills.
Another feature that is great is the capability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, making it an ideal option for parents who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have a child who is able to stand, the Vista can accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista Vista is simple to use and install. However, it takes some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is a YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding the steps.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of this popular all terrain stroller. It's designed to appeal to families that value style, sustainability and adventure. It features exciting upgrades that include a built-in leg rest and a reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children on long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced for improved maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension can handle sudden changes in surface (such as pavement to grass) and the oversized tires provide enough traction for any terrain. It's able to climb over kerbs and turn tight spaces, like city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it still retains the classic Thule features that make it a top jogger for parents. This includes an oversized canopy that offers excellent sun protection and a convenient peekaboo window, a high-quality harness system, and a handbrake integrated with an extremely tuned lever. It also comes with ample storage, with in-seat storage pockets as well as a large cargo basket that holds up to 15 pounds and comes with the zip-top cover.
This Thule Jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling infants, and a double version that can hold two children. double pushchair is compatible with car seat adapters, so you can use the infant carrier of your child, and it has a quick fold that's one-handed to make it easy to carry or put away. It's also a green choice because it uses dyed-solution fabric in black color choices.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's unique needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for adding bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A large, zip-up basket in the rear offers ample storage space for your gear. The handle is cushioned to allow for dad or mom. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller ensure smooth riding on 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 in terms of ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it into a trunk, and for double strollers compatible, install and remove an infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier 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. Even with these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate for easy maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transport. Its light aluminum frame, foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
double pram pushchair reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder sits very high up 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 higher than average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier, but offers more storage for the money. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) as well as a jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to run with them. 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 a decade.
