10 Ways To Build Your Twin Stroller Empire
Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is vital if you are expecting twins or have two children of the same age. The best ones provide different ways for your children to ride, including side-by-side seating and an attachment for a rider board.
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's favorite stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family seamlessly. It can fit two infant car seats as well as a toddler seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the top double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however, it is solid and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that can be extended and retracted easily. It has a good reach so my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when it is full of weight.
Seats are large and can be positioned in a way that one child is behind another or so that children face each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies cover both seat fabrics If you want. They're not a lot of ventilation, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to look at your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from one 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 in conjunction with a second bassinet or car seat for newborns.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and is able to handle steps and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver around busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold, especially when seats are tucked away. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin in front of the front seats. This is useful for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket under the seats is large and can support up to 100 pounds which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the best twin strollers designed for new borns. It is compatible with a range of infant car seats and bassinets (adapters are sold separately) and can be used as a double stroller right out of the box. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat is now raised by about half an inch, the footrest is larger, and the canopy is an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized, as it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with big wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a strong suspension system that can take on any terrain. The front wheels are rubber and are ideal for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to conquer paths and grassy hills.
Another excellent feature is the ability to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is an excellent option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand up and walk, the Vista stroller can fit an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is Vista is simple to use and set up, although it does take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also a YouTube video to help if you need more help.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents a variety of seating options to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The double stroller's two standard seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on straps or bars, which many other models need.
A large, zipper-accessible basket in the rear offers ample storage for gear. The handle is cushioned to accommodate mom or dad. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over any terrain and the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes the ease with which it is for you to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift the folded stroller and carry it like the trunk of a car.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded which is on the extreme end of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. In addition, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after prolonged usage. Despite these limitations, we consider this to be a great double stroller that will keep your family together for many years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is a lightweight, affordable stroller that is ideal for families with two kids. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to maneuver on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to get where you want to go. It also has a compact umbrella fold that folds down in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is light along with the foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers we tested.
This tandem stroller comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted for maximum comfort. The canopy is large enough to offer UPF 50 sun protection. It also has a peekaboo window that allows for easy monitoring. We would like to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder is very high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to access it.
In our tipping test the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's a little heavier however, it has more storage for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
This versatile stroller has three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things) and Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them and one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It comes in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
