A double stroller will be essential if you are expecting twins or if you have two children who are similar in age. The best double strollers offer multiple ways to ride for your children including side by side seating and an attachment for boards.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family grows. It can fit two infant car seats as well as the toddler seat. This makes it a great choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-byside double stroller. It's a larger than the other Bugaboo models however, it is solid and built to last. It has a movable handlebar 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 comfortable and can be set up in a way that one child is on top of the other or so that children are facing each other. They can also recline in a different way from one another. The canopies are huge and cover both seat fabrics when desired. But they don't have adequate ventilation, so they could feel like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window that allows children to peek in.
This stroller features a unique feature that allows it to expand with you and your family. It can convert from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used with an additional car seat or bassinet for infants.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces, and handles slopes and steps well. The only drawback is that it could be difficult to navigate through busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when seats are attached. It is still compact and can fit through most doors.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame to the front seat in mono mode. This is ideal for groceries and other items. The main storage basket underneath the seats is big and can hold up 100 pounds. This is more than any stroller we have listed!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers designed for newborns. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with a variety of infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time.
Compared to the original Vista, the V2 has made a few changes to make it even better. double tandem pushchair is about an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy is equipped with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which provides additional coverage. The harness has been updated since it doesn't require re-threading. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller is fairly large wheels (8'' in front and 11.5 inches in the back) with strong suspension, which means it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber which makes them suitable for navigating gravel, rocks and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to tackle grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another feature that is great is the possibility to connect a child's bicycle to the front of the stroller, which can be an ideal option for parents who aren't interested in using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. If you have a child who is old enough to stand, the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
Vista is a simple device to use. Vista is easy to use and install. However, it takes some time to take off all the protective packaging. The instructions are easy to follow, and there's also an YouTube video available should you require further assistance.

The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide a smooth ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for ease of use. This is based on the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is for you to open and close the snack trays as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift the stroller that is folded and carry it as if it were an actual trunk.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which puts it closer to the extreme end of our measurement.

This tandem stroller comes with independent reclining seats to ensure maximum comfort. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, though. We weren't a fan of the fact the fact that the cup holder is quite high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks, but it offers a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable cost and has a decent amount of padding on the seats and handle.
