Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats and an infant seat. This makes it an ideal choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. It comes with a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It has a long reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" is able to easily push it when it is full of weight.
Seats are spacious, and can be set up so that one child sits on top of the other or so that the children are facing each other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies are huge, covering both seat fabrics should you wish. However, they don't provide enough ventilation, which makes them be like a tiny oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window to view the children.
One of the most unique aspects 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 double stroller convertible to do this. It can even be used with a second bassinet or car seat for babies.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes well. It can be difficult to maneuver in crowded stores and restaurants. It can be a bit difficult to fold the seat back, particularly if it is attached. It is still compact and fits through most doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin next to the front seats. It is great for grocery shopping and other things. The main storage basket underneath the seats is huge and can hold up 100 lbs. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly borns. It can be used right out of the box as a double stroller and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets 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 has been raised by about half an inch, the footrest has been made larger, and the canopy is an additional fabric extension that zips out. Also, the harness has been upgraded and no longer needs to be changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that can take on any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are perfect to navigate through rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
A child's bike can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to use a car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand and walk, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is simple to use and set up, although it can take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's a YouTube video to help if you require assistance understanding the instructions.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents a variety of seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of every child. The two seats in the double stroller have reclining backrests, and canopies that are completely independent. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).

The tandem double stroller's suspension and wheels offer a smooth ride across all terrains, and the one-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
In lightweight twin stroller & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller and adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it in a trunk, and for double strollers compatible install and remove the infant car seat.
We did discover some flaws to this model, though. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. Despite these issues, we believe that this is an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller for families with 2 children. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to move on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy surfaces which makes it easy to get where you'd like to go. It has an umbrella that folds down compactly and can be closed in seconds. It also stands upright to make moving it easier. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers to lift during our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats and foot rests to provide the best comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection, and comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow though. We also didn't like the fact that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is a bit higher than the average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average and has more storage for the money. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes it can be used in: wagon (just to store things) as well as Jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for kids) and car seat mode. It can fit one infant car seat, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them. They should also be 1 year old before letting them run on rough terrain. It's black and comes with a lifetime warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for over 10 years.
