Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
If you're expecting twins or two children who are similar in age the double stroller is a must. The best ones offer numerous ways for your children 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 adapts to your family's needs seamlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats as well as an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a little bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a long reach, so my husband who is 6'1", can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
The seats are spacious and can be positioned so that one child is in front of the other, or to have children face each other. The seats can recline independently of one other. double umbrella stroller are large and cover both fabric should you wish. 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 that allows children to peek in.
This stroller comes with a unique feature that allows it to expand with your family. It can convert from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can be used in conjunction with another car seat or bassinet for newborns.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it is able to handle stairs and slopes well. The only downside is that it could be difficult to navigate crowded shops and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat down, especially if it is attached. It is still fairly small, however, and is able to fit through most doors easily.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two bassinets or infant car seats at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a redesigned version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is now elevated by a half inch, the footrest is larger and the canopy has an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a sturdy suspension system, which allows it to navigate any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bike can be attached to the front of a stroller. This is a great choice for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have a child who is getting ready to stand and walk, the Vista can even fit an additional child with its piggyback ride-along board accessory.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents a variety of seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of every child. The double stroller's standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopies. They're also designed to take 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 that eliminates the need for additional bars and straps, like other models that require.
A large, zipper-access basket in the rear offers ample storage space for the equipment. The handle is padded to accommodate mom or dad. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller ensure smooth riding across any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller and adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it into a trunk, and for double strollers compatible, install and remove an infant car seat.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our metrics. Additionally, it has limited visibility in the back seat when a car seat is installed. Additionally the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly after prolonged use. However, despite these issues, we think this is a great double stroller that will keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller ideal for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to maneuver on flat surfaces and lock for stability on bumpy surfaces making it easy to go where you want to go.

Its lightweight aluminum frame with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers we tested.
This tandem stroller comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll need to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping-test it was found that the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is more than average for a double pram. It's also heavier than our top picks however, it has an adequate amount of storage space at a reasonable price and has a decent amount of padding in the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes: wagon (just to store things), the jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one infant car seat, however, pediatricians suggest waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them. They should also be 1 year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
