This is the best twin stroller for families that want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little more bulkier than other Bugaboo models but it's solid and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a long reach, making it easy for my husband of 6'1 to push, even when fully loaded.
The seats are large and can be placed to place one child in front of the other, or to have the children face each the other. They can also recline separately from each other. The canopies are large and cover both seat fabrics should you wish. They're not very ventilated, so they can feel like an oven on hot days. There's no way to see your kids.
One of the most distinctive features of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from a single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible that can do this. It can also be used in conjunction with another car seat or bassinet for babies.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes with ease. It can be a challenge to maneuver through crowded eateries and shops. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when seats are attached. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
In mono mode, there's an storage bin located next to the front seats. It is great for grocery shopping and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath 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 stroller is among the top twin strollers for newborns. 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 let you use two infant car seats simultaneously.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest has more space and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and doesn't require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a strong suspension system that can navigate any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks or grassy hills.
Another excellent feature is the possibility to connect a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is an ideal option for parents who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child old enough to stand then the Vista stroller can fit an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. double pram and pushchair are simple to follow and there is also a YouTube video should you require further assistance.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents a variety of seating options to meet the needs and preferences of every child. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats come with reclining backrests as well as independent canopy. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's #1-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for adding bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A large, zip-up basket in the rear offers ample storage for equipment. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over all terrains, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activated make stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based on the ease with which it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects how easy it is to open and close the snack trays, engage and disengage brakes, lift the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
We did discover some flaws to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded and puts it closer to the top of our metrics. It also has limited visibility in the back seat when the car seat is in place. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially after long-term use. However, despite these limitations, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that can keep your family together for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller that is ideal for families with two children. The front lock wheels swivel and rotate for ease of maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also features a compact umbrella fold that closes in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. Its aluminum frame that is lightweight, carrying strap and handle made of foam makes it one of the most easy double strollers we have seen in our tests.
This stroller has independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame, meaning you'll need to bend down to access it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also a bit heavier than our top picks however, it has a decent amount of storage space for the price and has a decent amount of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a cart (for things) as well as a the jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children) as well as a car seat mode. It can accommodate one infant car seat, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them. They should also be one year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty.
