Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of similar ages. The best strollers offer multiple ways for your kids to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as an attachment for a rider board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It can be adapted to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can fit two infant car seats as well as an infant seat which makes it a great choice for twins from birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double stroller for families searching for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It also has a fantastic reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be positioned so that one child sits in front of another or so that the children are facing each other. They can also recline separately from one another. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics when desired. They're not a lot of ventilation, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.
One of the most distinctive features 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. This 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 maneuver on smooth surfaces, and handles slopes and steps well. It can be a challenge to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when seats are attached. It's still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is great for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new borns. It can be used straight out of the box as a double stroller, and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. 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 is half an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. The harness has been updated, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a sturdy suspension system, which can navigate any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another excellent feature is the capability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be an excellent option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand up and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and to install. However, it takes some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's an YouTube video to help if you require help understanding them.

Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The two stroller seats of the double stroller feature reclining backrests, and canopies that are separate. The seats are also designed to accommodate Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one rated infant car seat, in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access large basket provides ample storage space for all of your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure a smooth ride across any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller when folded and then carry it like an actual trunk.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this group of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after long-term use. Even with these issues, we consider this to be 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. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It also has a compact umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy can offer UPF 50 sun protection, and it has a peekaboo window that allows to allow for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, however. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits quite high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average and has more storage for the price. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes: wagon (just to store things) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
