Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who need a stylish, double side-byside stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers however it feels sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to extend and retract easily. It also has a long reach, so it is easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
The seats are large and can be set up to have one child sit behind the other or to have children facing each the other. They can also recline independently from one another. The canopies are huge and cover both fabric should you wish. They don't have much ventilation which makes them feel like an oven on hot days. They do not have a peek-a-boo window that allows children to peek in.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its ability to adapt to your family's needs from a single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can also be used with another car seat or bassinet for newborns.
It is a breeze to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles slopes and stairs well. The only downside is that it could be difficult to navigate in crowded shops and restaurants. It is also difficult to fold up, especially when seats are connected. It is still compact and can be accessed through the majority of doors.
In mono mode, there's a storage bin next to the front seats. This is great for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket underneath the seats is large and can hold up to 100 lbs, which is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This is among the most popular twin strollers for newly babies. It can be used straight out of the box as a double stroller and is compatible with a variety of bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
In comparison to the original Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat is about an inch taller, the footrest has more space, and the canopy has an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. Additionally, the harness has been upgraded and does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with fairly large wheels (8'' in front and 11.5'' in the back) with a strong suspension, which means it can easily handle any terrain. The wheels made of rubber on the front are ideal to navigate through rocks and gravel, while the tread on the rear wheels is better for grassy hills or sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't want to use a car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand then the Vista stroller can accommodate an additional child using its piggyback board accessory.

Cortina Together
Designed for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents flexible seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. The seats are also designed to take Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 rated infant car seat, in both the front and rear seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A comfortable 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad, and a zippered rear access large basket offers ample storage space for all of your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller ensure an easy ride across any terrain. The 1-touch linked rear breaks 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 how easy it is to set up and fold the stroller, adjust the safety harness as well as the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, then lift and carry the stroller like you would put it in a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible, install and remove the infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the extreme side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this group 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 can be difficult to use, particularly after long-term use. Despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for many years to come.

This stroller with a side-by-side design offers seating that reclines independently and foot rests to provide maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It includes a peekaboo window for easy monitoring. We wish the canopy was ventilated to allow for more airflow, however. We weren't a fan of the fact that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping-test in our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than the norm for the double pram. It's heavier than the average and has more storage space for the price. The handle and seats are also well-padded.
