Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of the same age. The best ones offer different ways for your children to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as the ability to attach a rider's board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It adapts to your family's needs effortlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is sturdy and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that extends and retracts easily. It has a good reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when he is fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be placed to place one child on top of the other or have the children face each the other. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are huge, covering both seat fabrics when desired. They're not very ventilated and can be like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from one seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can be used with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes with ease. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate in crowded shops and restaurants. It is also difficult to fold, especially when the seats are connected. It's still quite compact though, and it can be tucked away easily.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is ideal for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is massive and can hold up to 100 lbs that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new babies. It can be used with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat has been raised by half an inch, the footrest is bigger and the canopy comes with an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been upgraded and doesn't require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to handle a variety of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to invest in a baby car seat. And if you have a child who is ready to stand, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride along board accessory.
Vista is Vista is easy to use and set up, however it can take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's an YouTube video in case you need assistance in understanding them.

Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller feature reclining backrests, and canopies that are independent. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer an easy ride across any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller and adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and remove an infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the beast side of our metric than the average for this class of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car seat is placed in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these issues we still consider this to be an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that's perfect for families with two children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces, and ensure stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to get where you want to go. It also has an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame is light, foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests for the best comfort for both children. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection, and it has a peekaboo window that allows to allow for easy monitoring. We would have liked to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We weren't a fan of the fact that the cup holder is very high up on the frame. You'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks but it offers an adequate amount of storage space for its cost and has plenty of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff) as well as a the jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children), or car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for infants. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you jog with them. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
