Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you're expecting twins or have two children of similar ages. The best double strollers offer numerous ways to ride your children, including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
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 as a toddler car seat which makes it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a good reach so that my husband, who is 6'1", can easily push it, even when it is full of weight.
The seats are spacious and can be placed to place one child behind the other or to have children facing each the other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies are large, covering both seat fabrics should you wish. But they don't have much ventilation so they can appear like a small oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to look at your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from a single seat (Mono mode) all terrain double stroller the way to a double buggy with car seat side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with a bassinet for newborns or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and handles slopes and steps well. The only downside is that it could be difficult to navigate the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It can be difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it's attached. It's still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there is an storage bin located next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is large 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 babies. It can be used with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. 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 made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat has been raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. Additionally, the harness has been updated and does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, which means it can easily handle a variety of terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to conquer grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't wish to use an infant car seat. And if you have an older child who is ready to stand in the Vista, the Vista can also accommodate a third kid with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and to set up. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available for assistance if you require more information.

In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller and adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it in a trunk and for double strollers compatible install and take off an infant car seat.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the top of our metrics. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the back. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these issues we still consider this to be an excellent stroller for your family.

The front swivel-lock wheels turn to maneuver on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy surfaces which makes it easy to get where you'd like to go. It also comes with a compact umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is light, foam handles and strap for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double travel buggy strollers we tested.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests for maximum comfort for both children. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also didn't like that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than average for double prams. It's a little heavier and has more storage space for the price. The seats and handle are also well-padded.

It can fit 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 letting them go on rough terrain.
