What Is Twin Stroller And Why Is Everyone Talking About It
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of the same age. The best ones offer multiple ways for your kids to ride such as side-by-side seating, and an attachment for a rider board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as an infant seat, making it a great option for twins starting at birth.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It is a bit larger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that retracts and extends easily. It also has a fantastic reach, so it's easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when loaded.
The seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child is in front of the other, or to have children face each other. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies are huge and cover both fabric should you wish. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them appear like a small oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
This stroller features an exclusive feature that allows it to expand with your family and you. It can be converted from a single seat (Mono Mode) to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is simple to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes with ease. The only downside is that it can be difficult to navigate through the midst of crowded restaurants and shops. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat back, especially if it is attached. It is still fairly compact, and is able to fit through most doors easily.
There is a storage bin that is attached to the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other items. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used with a variety of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are 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 simultaneously if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
Comparatively to the first Vista, the V2 has made a few improvements to make it better. The toddler seat is now elevated by a half inch, the footrest is bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized since it doesn't require re-threading. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system, which can handle any terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another great feature is the capability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be a handy option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up. However, it takes some time to remove all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there is an YouTube video if you need assistance understanding them.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the latest version of this popular stroller for all-terrain use. It's made to draw the attention of modern families who are a fan of style, sustainability, and adventure. It comes with exciting improvements, including a built-in leg rest and a reclined seat that offers unbeatable comfort for children who take long jogs and walks. Its sleek and agile design has been upgraded to improve its maneuverability.
It is extremely light, making it easy to drive and swift to accelerate on the road. Its suspension handles abrupt changes in the surface (like pavement to grass) with ease and the large wheels provide ample traction for even the most difficult terrains. It is able to climb kerbs with no difficulty, and it can maneuver in tight spaces like streets in cities with aplomb. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.
Although the new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it retains the classic Thule features that make it an ideal jogger for parents. The huge canopy offers great sun protection, comes with an easy peekaboo feature and a top-quality harness system and a handbrake that is precisely tuned. It offers plenty of storage space, including pockets inside the seat and a massive cargo bag that can hold up to 15 lbs.
This Thule jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, as well as a double version that can hold two children. It has car seat adapters, meaning that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has a one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also a green option because it uses dyed-solution fabric in black color options.
Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and provides parents with various seating options to meet the preferences and needs of each child. The two seats in the double umbrella stroller stroller come with canopies that are reclining and backrests that are independent. 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, without the need for add-on straps and bars, as many competing models require.
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom and a zippered rear access basket offers plenty of storage space for your gear. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on all terrains, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is for you to open and close the snack tray and engage and disengage the brakes, lift the folded stroller and carry it as if it were a trunk.
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 metric. It also has a limited view when a car seat is placed in the rear. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we think that this is a great stroller for your family.
Jeep double pushchairs 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'd like to go. It also comes with an umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest-to-lift double 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 kids. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It also has a peekaboo window that allows to allow for easy monitoring. We would prefer to see 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 tipping test, the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than the norm for the double pram. It's a little heavier however, it has more storage for the money. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff), Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for kids), or car seat mode. It can fit a single to double buggy car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians recommend that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you run with them. It is available in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for more than a decade.
