Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist who writes for the blog, loves is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which is easily adapted as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats and the toddler seat. This makes it a great option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. strollers double strollers has a handlebar that is adjustable that can be extended and retracted easily. It also has a fantastic reach, making it easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be placed in a way that one child is behind another or so that the children face each one. The seats can recline independently of each other. The canopies are huge, covering both seat fabrics if desired. They're not very ventilated which makes them be like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to look at your children.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from the single seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can be used with baby bassinets or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and handles slopes and steps well. It can be difficult to maneuver through crowded restaurants and shops. It can be difficult to fold the seat, especially if it's connected. It's still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In mono mode, there is a storage bin next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is big and can accommodate up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is one of the top twin strollers for new borns. It is compatible with a range of infant car seats and bassinets (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 when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has added a few enhancements to make it even better. The toddler seat has been raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been modernized, as it does not need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5'' in the back) with a sturdy suspension, so it is able to easily navigate any terrain. The front wheels are rubber which makes them suitable for navigating rocks, gravel and cobblestones. The rear wheels have more tread to tackle paths and grassy hills.
Another feature that is great is the ability to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is a handy option for those who don't want to use an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand up, the Vista stroller can fit a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is easy to use and set up, however it takes some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available should you require further assistance.

The double stroller's two standard seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopy. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the number one baby car seat in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).

The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding on any terrain. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This metric is based on how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, and then lift the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were an actual trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our measurement. Additionally, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues we still believe that this is a great stroller to have for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller for families with 2 children. The front lock wheels swivel and can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features an umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its light aluminum frame, foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the most easy-to-lift double strollers we tested.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would have liked 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 have to bend down in order to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of angle, which is above average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average, but offers more storage for the money. The seats and handle are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a walker (for stuff) or the jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you jog with them. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a journalist and parent for over a decade.
