Why Twin Stroller Could Be Your Next Big Obsession
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two kids close in age, a double stroller is essential. The best ones offer multiple ways for your kids to ride such as side-by-side seating, and an attachment for a rider board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats as well as a toddler seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families that are looking for a stylish and stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a fantastic reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
Seats are large and can be positioned in a way that one child is behind another or so that the children face each the other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies are large, covering both seat fabrics when desired. They're not very ventilated which makes them appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) all the way up to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes with ease. It can be difficult to maneuver through crowded restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when seats are attached. It is still fairly compact though, and it does fit through most doors easily.
There is an additional storage bin that is attached to the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for groceries and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the best twin strollers designed for new newborns. It can be used straight out of 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.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which gives 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 comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that allows it to handle any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are perfect to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is better for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who do not want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista Vista is simple to use and install. It does take some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available if you need more help.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 stroller is the latest version of the popular all-terrain stroller. It's designed for families who value style, sustainability and adventure. It's got exciting new features, including a built-in leg rest and a new reclined seat that provides unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced for improved mobility.
extra resources 's incredibly lightweight, making it a breeze to push and easy to accelerate on the open road. Its suspension can take on sudden changes in the surface (such as grass turning to pavement) and the large tires offer enough traction for any terrain. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty and can turn in tight spaces like city streets with precision. Even narrow sidewalks and parks with lots of people are not a problem.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule features that make it the ideal jogger for parents. It has a large canopy that offers excellent sun protection and a convenient peekaboo window, a high-quality harness system, and a handbrake that is integrated with a a perfectly in-tuned lever. It also comes with plenty of storage, with in-seat storage pockets and a large cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds with an open-top cover.
This Thule Jogger includes a bassinet that is suitable for strolling babies, as well as a double version that can accommodate two children. It accepts car seat adapters so you can use your infant carrier and it comes with a fold that is one-handed, making it easy to transport or to store. It's also a green choice, as it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black color choices.
Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that let them adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's #1-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 additional straps or bars, which other models that require.
A comfortable 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access large basket offers ample storage space for gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride across any terrain. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This metric is based upon how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift the stroller when folded and then carry it like an actual trunk.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the extreme end of our measurement. 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 when used for a long time. Even with these issues, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It has an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in a matter of seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it simpler. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This stroller has reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks but it does provide plenty of storage space for the price and comes with a decent amount of padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a walker (for things) or Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids), or car seat mode. It can fit a single infant car seat. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is six months old to run with them. It is available in black with a limited warranty.
