The Guide To Twin Stroller In 2023
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best ones provide different ways for your children to ride such as side-by-side seating, and an attachment for a rider board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It can adapt to your family's needs effortlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well a toddler seat, making it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a long reach so my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when fully laden.
The seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child is on top of the other or have children facing each the other. They can also recline independently from one another. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. They're not a lot of ventilation and can appear like an oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your kids.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from the single seat (Mono mode) to grow 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 simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it can handle slopes and stairs well. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded eateries and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when the seats are connected. It's still small and fits through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket beneath the seats is huge and can support 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 borns. It can be used straight from the box as a double stroller and is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has added a few enhancements to make it better. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy comes with a zip-out fabric extender that provides additional coverage. The harness has also been updated and doesn't require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a robust suspension system, which can take on any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels are more grippy to handle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and to install. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there is an YouTube video to help if you require help understanding the instructions.

Cortina Together
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 seats in the double stroller come with reclining backrests, and canopies that are independent. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top rated infant car seat, in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket on the rear offers ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels ensure a smooth ride on any terrain, while the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the stroller like you would put it in a trunk and for compatible double strollers install and remove the infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, twin pushchair from birth . It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the beast side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these issues, we believe that this is an excellent stroller for your family.

The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that's perfect for families with two kids. The front lock wheels swivel and rotate for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces, and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also has an umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests for the best comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, though. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder is quite high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier, but offers more storage space for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes that include wagon (just for things) as well as jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be 1 year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over 10 years.
