double seat stroller For Newborns
A double stroller will be essential if you're expecting twins or have two children of the same age. The best double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children with side-by-side seating and an attachment for a board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favourite stroller. It adapts to your family's needs effortlessly. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as an infant seat, making it a great option for twins as young as.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It has a decent reach so my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
Seats are comfortable and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that children are facing each one. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. They're not very ventilated and can be like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window 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 the way to a double side-by-side stroller. This is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with an additional bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver through crowded stores and restaurants. It can be difficult to fold the seat, particularly if it is connected. It's still compact and fits through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that is attached to the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is massive and can accommodate up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the best twin strollers designed for new borns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at once.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it better. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest is more space and the canopy is equipped with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which gives extra coverage. The harness is also modernized in that it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a robust suspension system that lets it take on any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels are more grippy to handle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which can be an ideal option for parents who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have a child who is ready to stand and walk, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride-along board accessory.
Vista Vista is easy to use and set up. It does take some time to get rid of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also an YouTube video to help for assistance if you require more information.
Thule Urban Glide 3
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is the most recent version of the popular all-terrain stroller and it's made to attract modern families that value style, sustainability and adventure. It comes with exciting upgrades such as a built-in foot rest and a reclined seat that promises unbeatable comfort for children during long walks and jogs. Its sleek and agile design is also enhanced for improved mobility.
It's extremely light, making it easy to push and easy to accelerate on the road. Its suspension is able to cope with sudden changes in surface (such as pavement to grass) and the large tires offer enough traction for any terrain. It can easily climb kerbs and turn in tight spaces such as city streets. Even small sidewalks and crowded parks are no problem for it.
While the brand new Urban Glide 3 offers superior performance, it also retains the classic Thule characteristics that make it a top jogger for parents. This includes an oversized canopy that offers an excellent sun protection as well as a convenient peekaboo window, a high-quality harness system, and a handbrake integrated with an incredibly tuned lever. It also comes with ample storage, including in-seat storage pockets and a huge cargo basket that can hold up to 15 pounds with the zip-top cover.
This Thule Jogger comes with a bassinet for strolling babies, as well as a double version that can fit two children. It comes with car seat adapters so that you can use the infant carrier of your child. It also has an one-handed folding system to make it easier to transport or store. It's also an eco-friendly choice, as it uses solution-dyed fabric in its black color options.
Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents versatile seating options that let them adjust to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The double stroller's two standard seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopy. They're also engineered to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for adding bars and straps, like other models that require.
A padded 3-position handle comfortably can be used by dad or mom and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for gear. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller ensure an easy ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is for you 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 and engage and disengage the brakes, and then lift the folded stroller and carry it like the trunk of a car.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded and puts it closer to the extreme end of our metric. Additionally, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is fitted. Lastly, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, particularly when used for a long time. However, despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that will be able to 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 ideal for families with two kids. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces and ensure stability on bumpy surfaces making it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It comes with a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in just a few seconds. It also stands upright to make transporting it easier. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We also didn't love that the cup holder sits very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test in our tipping-test, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle, which is higher than average for the double pram. It's a little heavier and has more storage space for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional, and features three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff) or Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for kids) or car seat mode. It can accommodate one car seat for infants, but 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. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over a decade. She has written about travel and shopping, food, tech and parenting.
