See What Twin Stroller Tricks The Celebs Are Utilizing
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, that is a perfect fit as your family expands. It can be used with two infant car seats as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families that need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar which can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a long reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it when fully laden.
Seats are large and can be placed in a way that one child is in front of another or so that children face each other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. However, they don't provide much ventilation so they can appear like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to grow with your family from one seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used in conjunction with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle slopes and stairs well. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat, especially if it is connected. It is still fairly compact, and can be tucked away easily.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used right from the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Compared to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy has a zip-out fabric extender that adds extra coverage. The harness has also been modernized in that it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a robust suspension system, which allows it to navigate any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are perfect for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can fit an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up. However, it takes some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video if you need help understanding them.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with a variety of seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of each child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 rated infant car seat, in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage space for the equipment. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double seat stroller stroller's suspension and wheels ensure a smooth ride on any terrain and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it in a trunk and for double strollers that are compatible install and remove the infant car seat.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our metric. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these issues, we still think this is a great double stroller that can keep your family together for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two children. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy ones, making it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It also comes with a compact umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright for easy transportation. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window to allow for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the average for double prams. It's a little heavier however, it has more storage for the money. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes: wagon (just for things), the 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 recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them and 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over a decade. She has written about travel and food, shopping, technology and parenting.
