What Is Twin Stroller And How To Use It?
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you are expecting twins or if you have two children of the same age. The top double strollers provide numerous ways to ride your children including side by side seating and an attachment for a board.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro's favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family grows. It can be used with two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families searching for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It has a movable handlebar that retracts and extends easily. It also has a great reach, so it is easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
Seats are large and can be positioned so that one child sits on top of the other or so that children are facing each other. They can also recline in a different way from each other. The canopies are large and cover both fabric if desired. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can even be used in conjunction with a second car seat or bassinet for newborns.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be a challenge to maneuver through crowded stores and restaurants. It is difficult to fold the seat down, particularly if it is attached. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket under the seats is huge and can accommodate up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the top twin strollers for new babies. It is compatible with a variety of bassinets and infant car seats (adapters sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller straight 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 even better. The toddler seat is now raised by half an inch, the footrest is bigger and the canopy comes with an additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8'' in the front and 11.5 inches in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it can easily handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are rubber, which makes them ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to tackle 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 a car seat. If you have an older child who is able to stand and walk, the Vista can also accommodate an additional child with its piggyback ride along board.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and set up, however it can take some time to remove all of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there is also a YouTube video to help if you need more help.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that can be adjusted to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The double stroller's two standard seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access large basket offers ample storage space for all of your gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure smooth riding across all terrains. The rear is linked with a single touch. breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it in a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and take off an infant car seat.
There are some downsides to this model, though. First, it's heavy. 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. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the back. In addition, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we think that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - a lightweight, affordable stroller ideal for families with 2 children. The front lock wheels swivel and allow for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it simpler. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This tandem stroller features independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and includes 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 sits quite high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test the Jeep was able to tip over at 39 degrees of angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also a little heavier than our top picks, however, it has a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has a decent amount of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes it can be used in: wagon (just for stuff), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can fit a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians suggest that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you jog with them. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
