Best Strollers for Twins Double Strollers

According to the National Vital Statistics Systems, 2020 saw 3,613,647 twin births. This number was 4 percent less than the figure seen the previous year. I’m happy you’re one of the chosen few. You can wear one baby on your back and strap the other to the front. Or you can get one of the best strollers for twins and make your life a WHOLE lot easier. You choose.

But which are the best two-kid strollers out there? Here, you’ll meet at least 5 options that work well for two kids, twins or otherwise and one recommendation that wheels up to 3 kids around.

Who Came Out On Top?

The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie pushes effortlessly and is probably the finest twin stroller ever. It’s a jogging stroller that steers like a dream while nicely gliding over obstacles and terrains of all kinds.

Your babies won’t feel the bumps on the trails or when you’re going over curbs. The brakes are good, and a tether keeps stroller from rolling off. It folds down easily and isn’t too big.

The slow-fading canopies have magnetic peekaboo windows and easily adjust to multiple positions. Aside from that, the sunshades are height adjustable. And the same goes for the foam handles (they’re adjustable).

It gets better: the seats are quite tall (up to 44″) and recline individually. One kid can nap while the other soaks up beautiful sights.

But it’s pricey and the wheels get flats. Plus, it’s a little bulky. And there are no cup holders or parent console.

Here Are Non-jogger Options That Work Well

What if you don’t lead an active lifestyle? No worries; pick up the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Jogger. (read review below). And if you’re on a budget and are looking for an affordable travel double stroller such as the Too Ultralight Caboose Double.

If you’re looking for the cheapest and most lightweight double stroller for light travel and short everyday walks in the city, definitely get the Delta Children City Street LX side-by-side Double Stroller. It comes at a sub-$100 price point at time of writing. It folds easy and stores compactly, but it’s not the most durable. Overall, it’s great value for money.

Twins are a Double Blessing…

Especially when they look exactly alike. But taking care of them can be overwhelming on many levels. From washing them to feeding them and wheeling them around on a stroller, it’s not easy. Speaking of strollers, not every stroller works for twins. Single strollers definitely don’t work for twins, only double strollers do.

There are jogging strollers for twins, travel systems for twins, all-terrain strollers for twins, and convertible strollers that evolve as your family does.

What’s a Double Stroller?

A double stroller is a stroller that allows parents to transport two kids at once. If you add a stroller board to a twin stroller, you can easily carry a third child (older child). There’s at least 3 kinds of double strollers namely convertible strollers, side-by-side double strollers, and inline double strollers.

Convertible strollers start out as single strollers (single-child strollers) and converts into a double stroller when needed. A side-by-side stroller comes with two same-size seats sitting on the same level.

As for an inline double stroller, the front seat and rear seat don’t seat on the same level. The seats may be the same size, but the rear seat typically sits higher than the front one. It’s akin to how fans sit at a stadium.

Do I Need a Double Stroller?

I can’t say for sure, but here’s a thought or two to help you make this important decision. If you just got a newborn while the other kid’s still using baby diapers, investing in a good double strollers would make tons of sense. You can babywear your twins, but if you have a bad back or aren’t the strongest mom you’ve ever seen, babywearing can feel like a real chore.

With an easy-to-steer double stroller, getting around with your two bundles of joy gets a whole lot easier and more convenient. In fact, many parents of twins out there view their double stroller as a lifesaver, something they can’t live without.

But double strollers tend to be pricey, and the cheapest ones may not work as well as you’d like. If you can spring up for a decent twin stroller, chances are you’ll begin to wonder how on earth you’ve been surviving without it.

4 Double Stroller Alternatives

What if you don’t want to buy a stroller for two? Are there other kinds of gear you can get for your two little angels? Yes, you can attach a stroller board to the existing single stroller or you can use a baby carrier designed to carry twins.

Use Stroller Connectors to Link Together 2 Existing Strollers

If you can find stroller connectors, you can bring two umbrella strollers together into a double umbrella stroller. The strollers need to be the same size for this idea to work well. I’ve not done this myself, but parents who have used 3 connectors to unite two umbrella strollers into one.

Some have found this option not to steer as well as they’d hoped. Plus there’s always a risk of the connectors snapping and each stroller running off with baby strapped in!

Use a Stroller Board to Carry an Older Child

If you have a single stroller for one baby and need to stroll around with an older kid in tow, you can add a stroller board to the existing stroller. This thing is a ride-along board that attaches to the rear wheel axle of a single or double stroller.

This idea works with older, well-coordinated kids who can take care of themselves while standing on the board. If you’re not sure you toddler isn’t up to the challenge, just give in and order a stroller for two kids.

Before you whip out your credit card and buy the first stroller board you bump into online, consider this: not every stroller board works with every stroller. Some boards are only compatible with specific strollers, and you need to double-check to make sure what you choose will work with the existing single stroller.

Alternatively, you can purchase a universal stroller board. This kind of board works with strollers across a wide range of brands. Parents have many positive things to say about this universal stroller board. But there are others, so do your research if interested.

Some universal boards such as the Universal Stroller Board 2-in-1 Buggy Board even come with a detachable seat for toddlers. Your little  one can ride either seated or standing.

Use a Double Stroller Frame

A double stroller frame is a stroller for two that doesn’t have seat pads at all. It’s basically a structure with wheels, a storage basket, and two places where car seats go. Since this thing doesn’t have seats of its own, it’s principally used to accommodate infant car seats.

And if you’re wondering whether you can use it from newborn through toddlerhood, the answer is you typically can’t use it beyond month 9. After the 9 month, the majority of twins are a little too heavy to haul around in infant car seats. But yes, the double stroller frame is a worthy alternative to expensive double strollers.

Why would anyone want to use a double stroller frame instead of a full-size double stroller? Because a double frame stroller is way lighter than a regular double stroller mainly because it doesn’t have seat pads. It’s also pretty easy to use (fold and unfold) as well as get into and out of vehicles. Also, double stroller frames cost significantly less compared to full-size double strollers.

Additionally, if you went through a cesarean delivery to bring your twins into the world, consider using a lightweight double frame stroller instead of a full-size option. It’d be easier to use (fold and unfold) as well as push around with your twin passengers strapped in.

Which is the best double stroller frame for the money? If you like budget baby gear that does the job, consider getting the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go. It costs $120ish, and it’s one of the lightest double stroller frames for twins I know of.

You won’t be able to snap the infant car seats in as would be the case with the costlier Joovy TwinRoo Double Stroller Frame though. Instead, the car seats strap in, but the setup is still safe and secure.

Twin Baby Carriers vs Double Strollers

Twin carriers keep your babies closer to your body, something double strollers don’t do even if they have a clear peek a boo window.

Another advantage of double carriers over double baby strollers is that the former allow you to nurse your babies as you walk, eat, do chores around the house, and whatnot. Again, this is something a stroller won’t let you do. If you want to breastfeed baby mid-trip, you have to stop, engage the brakes, and do what you need to do.

Finally, baby carriers for twins tend to cost substantially less than double strollers.

If none of these three pros of baby carriers versus double strollers didn’t convince you, go ahead and get your little ones a nice, stylish, comfortable twins baby carrier.

Which is the Best Baby Carrier for Wearing Two Kids?

And if you’re wondering which is the best baby carrier for twins out there, the Weego Twins Baby Carrier is worth some consideration. The Weego Twins Baby Carrier works best for newborns and infants up to month 6. For older twins, consider getting the TwinGo original Twins Baby Carrier. 

5 Best Double Strollers That Do the Job

Below is a list of the best twins double strollers for the money:

1. Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 All-Terrain Double Stroller

2. Vista V2 Double Stroller

3. Joovy Caboose Graphite Sit-and-Stand Double Stroller

4. BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie

5. Delta Children City Street LX Side-by-Side Stroller

Let’s now dive into the reviews to help you decide if any of these deals could work for you and your little ones.

1.Delta Children City Street LX Side-by-Side Stroller: Best Cheap Double Stroller

Quick Product Stats and Features

Weight: 18.3 pounds

Maximum weight limit: 70 pounds

Minimum weight limit: 5 pounds

Stroller design: Side-by-side

Wheels: 12 foam wheels (6 double wheels), front wheels swivel 360˚

Cup holder: 1 for the caregiver

Canopy/Sunshade: Present but almost useless

Disney-friendly? YES

Double strollers are expensive, but the Delta Children City Street LX isn’t. Can you believe this ultra-lightweight stroller for two kids sails in at a sub-$100 price point? It’s that cheap, but it fully complies with the requisite safety standards: ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA.

The main reason I decided to get this compact double stroller was its being incredibly inexpensive. The deal seemed too good to be true, so I hit the sidewalks to test whether this cheap double stroller was worth it.

While the typical double stroller weights somewhere in the 22-35 pound range, the Delta Children City Street LX weighs in at 18.3 pounds. I’ve yet to see a lighter choice. Being lightweight is great, but most lightweight double strollers tend to not last long.

If you’re looking for an everyday stroller for your twins, one that’ll get tons of abuse, choose something else. Most people buy this one for traveling on planes and for quick runs to the grocery store.

And if you’re wondering if you can gate-check this double stroller, the answer is YES. A friend gate-checked it on a recent Southwest flight without a problem, so I’m certain you can.

Carrying this thing post-folding is a breeze — it’s the kind you want to pick if you live in a city apartment or use the bus frequently. BTW, it folds down really small, and it should fit pretty much any small-car trunk with room to spare.

What’s more, the Delta Children LX requires little assembly if any at all: simply pop the wheels on and that’s it!

Speaking of the wheels, there have been instances where the wheels came off leaving the caregiver watching in dismay. I guess we were lucky because the wheels stayed on the entire duration we used this stroller.

These wheels swivel, but I found that using them in the lock mode works best. Also, the wheels are rubberized foam, and they deliver a decent roll on smooth terrain and even on grassy sections.

On mud and snow? It didn’t perform too badly, but it certainly isn’t a jogger. For snow, get a dedicated jogging stroller for snowy conditions.

Weight limits: this budget double stroller offers a lower weight limit of 5 pounds while the upper limit stands at 70 pounds. You can carry an 8-12 month-old and most 3-year-olds, but a 5-year-old? That’d be a tight squeeze. However, if your 5 YO is petite, the stroller might fit them.

According to the manufacturer, the seat reclines. But my testing found that the recline feature doesn’t work as intended, nor does it make much of a difference.

Also, the straps on the 5-point harness are OK, but figuring them out took a couple of trials. And my 2.5 YO somehow managed to wiggle out some of the time.

Canopy: There’s a sunshade. But it’s tiny to the extent I wondered why they included it. If you live in sunny Texas or some other sunny climate, invest in a good stroller canopy extender.

Cup holder: The cup holder is awkwardly positioned and spills drinks if there’s no seal. We ended up removing it.

Fit for Disney? Emphatically YES. It sure is a side-by-side stroller design, but the Delta City Street LX fits beautifully thru standard sized doorways.

Storage: There’s a small storage bag behind each seat. However, there isn’t much room there. It’s spacious enough for diapers and a baby bottle, but you’ll want to hang your diaper bag on the handle.

Handles: If you intend to split strolling with anyone who is 5’7″ or taller, get a handle extender. Alternatively, buy a stroller that fits shorter and taller parents, a stroller with a telescopic handlebar.

The handles sit pretty low, plus they’re not a solid bar like what you see on most strollers. Not having a solid bar makes maneuvering this stroller with one hand impossible.

2. Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 All-Terrain: Best All-Terrain Double

Quick Product Stats and Features

Weight: 36.5 pounds

Maximum weight limit: 100 pounds

Stroller design: Side-by-side

Wheels: 4 foam-filled/puncture wheels +all-wheel suspension

Cup holder: No, bought separately

Canopy/Sunshade: Generous sunshade with peekaboo windows

Disney-approved? YES

The City Mini GT2 Double Stroller is an improved version of the regular City Mini 2 Double. To be clear, it isn’t a jogging stroller despite having the word “Jogger” in the name.  Each kiddo enjoys a max weight limit of 50 pounds.

Does this double stroller allow kiddos to sit nearly upright so they can look at the world? Not quite. Honestly though, few strollers sit completely upright. Good news: you can place a small blanket to help the tots sit at a more upright angle.

But what’s new or improved about the City Mini GT2? It comes in a sleeker design compared to the earlier model, the City Mini 2 Double Stroller (Without GT)

The fabric is better quality, the seats taller (42.25″ for the GT2 vs. 40″ for the City Mini 2 model),  and the footrests adjustable (they go up). Plus, it has magnetic peekaboo windows so you won’t have to stop each time you want to take a look below the extremely large/full-coverage UV 50 sun canopy.

What’s more, the under-seat storage basket is larger, and the model feels somewhat sturdier than the original version.

It’s 29.25″ wide, just like the earlier model. This makes it a Disney Theme Parks-approved option. It also means you shouldn’t have trouble maneuvering through most modern doorways. And  steering this thing is EASY — it’s doable one-handed.

This compact all-terrain stroller weights in at 36.5 pounds, fully 4 pounds heavier than the previous model. It’s still compact and all-terrain, but being heavier could be a bummer for many parents.

It’s heavier because the manufacturer added a solid bar in the rear. While this added bar makes for a sturdier stroller construction, it gets in the way when you’re trying to get a bag into the basket. View the bar below.

While the wheels are large (8.5″ tires) and tackle off-road terrain impressively, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 isn’t a proper jogging stroller. You can do as many “power walks” around your neighborhood with your little ones; just don’t jog with this stroller.

Any pregnant mom can assemble it without help. It’s cute, and it glides on most kinds of terrain like a demon. Because the wheels are pretty large foam-filled rubber tires you can use this stroller off-road and on smoother surfaces.

The front wheels swivel, too, which makes transitioning from smooth to not-so-smooth terrain a tad easier. Parents love that these all-terrain tires NEVER get punctures. No stopping mid-trip because a mischievous thorny object pierced the wheels.

That being said, foam-filled wheels don’t soak in bumps as well as do pumped rubber tires. But that’s not such a huge price to pay.

The seats are comfortable, and they recline to a nearly flat position. Besides that, the footrests adjust upwards, converting the stroller to a kind of bassinet. You can use this “universal” Camo gray head support in the “bassinet”: the Boppy Noggin Nest.

 

Travel system:  It’s a pretty versatile double stroller, which specifically means you can easily convert it into a travel system.

With an adapter, you can mount a compatible infant car seat onto the stroller, converting it into a travel system. It works with most Maxi Cosi, Graco, Cybex/Clek, Baby Jogger & Britax infant car seats. But does the City Mini GT2 Double work with the Uppababy Mesa Car Infant Car Seat? Sadly no.                                                                           

Handle: It’s height-adjustable. It moves up and down (doesn’t telescope), allowing caregivers of different heights to share strolling.

Folding: This is where the City Mini GT2 Double outperforms many options. The stroller collapses/closes like it’s the most natural thing in the world. And it has no trouble fitting in most trunks. But it doesn’t self-stand.

Handbrake: A hand-operated parking brake fosters stroller safety, and it’s easy to use and works well. But there’s a foot brake too, which means greater braking capability.

Cup holders/snack trays: You have to buy them. Also, you have to buy 2 belly bars, without which you’re unable to attach the snack trays/cup holders. And that’s a bummer for sure.

Overall, it’s a solid buy for twins/two kids. But it’s not cheap. And you have to spend extra on basic accessories (belly bars, parent consoles, and cup holders/snack trays for the kids. This parent console works well (see image below).

3. Joovy Caboose Too Graphite Stroller: Best Sit-and-Stand Double Stroller

Quick Product Stats and Features

Weight: 27.5 pounds

Maximum weight limit: 90 pounds

Stroller design: Tandem

Wheels: 6 foam-filled/puncture wheels +all-wheel suspension

Cup holders: YES and NO organizer on the handlebar

Canopy/Sunshade: Generous sunshade, bit not enough shade over the rear rider

Meets Disneyland Stroller Size Requirements?  YES

What’s the difference between the Caboose Ultralight Double Stroller and its pricier sibling, the Caboose Too Graphite Double? The Too Ultralight model offers a rear seat/toddler seat while the Ultralight Caboose doesn’t. And not surprisingly, the Too Ultralight version costs more.

With either the Joovy Caboose or Too Caboose, you get a car seat adapter, something many substantially pricier double strollers fail to include.

If you have two kids who’re 2 years apart, consider the Caboose Too Ultra-light Double Stroller. While this isn’t a side-by-side stroller, it’s not strictly an in-line double stroller either. The front seat and removable bench seat/toddler seat/rear seat sit at more or less the same level.

It’s front-heavy as tandem strollers typically are, and steering with one hand with two kids on board isn’t easy.

The front seat is relatively tall. Our 2.5 YO could fit in there comfortably. However, very tall and heavy kids could have trouble fitting in either the front seat or toddler seat.

Also, the rear seat isn’t super comfortable. Fortunately, your toddler can opt to ride standing if they get uncomfortable.

But there’s no parent organizer, so get one.

You can gate-check this double stroller on most airlines, and I suggest that you get this car seat bag for that: Reperkid Car Seat Travel Bag.

Airport security might ask you to collapse it in some instances, which is really easy to do. Opening it is also easy, which makes your life as a traveler on local and international flights less of a headache and more of pleasure.

You can recline the front seat so that a 3-month-old can lie back and nap. But here’s the catch: if you recline the front seat too far back, this action squeezes the heck out of the available room at the back.

To be clear, the rear seat reclines slightly. However, this recline isn’t enough to counter the effect of having the front seat relining too far back.

In this situation, there isn’t enough legroom for the older child and they can’t ride seated. But standing isn’t a problem with most toddlers.

When the rear seat isn’t in use (it’s easy to remove) to uncover the built-in bench seat), your kiddo can sit rear-facing.

The canopy is decently sized and covers the front kid sufficiently. There isn’t enough sun cover for the rear passenger. The cover folds up allowing an older child standing on the platform a better view of the world. The under carriage is a reasonable size, but it won’t hold half your house!

If you’re buying this for Disneyland or travel to constantly rainy destinations, consider investing in a good rain cover such as the Jolly Jumper Travel System Rain Cover. It’s cheap ($22ish), and it stores nicely in the undercarriage.

But the undercarriage’s design is faulty. Its middle sags especially if you store a water bottle there or anything else that heavy.

The stored object moves to the middle, threatening to poke a hole, which happens a lot. Our basket didn’t tear, though. But that’s because we got creative and plastered some tent tape on the bottom of the basket.

But that’s not all. This basket isn’t easy to access, especially with a child on the toddler seat. That being said, when there’s no child sitting there you can carry a grocery bag or other items on the seat.

It boasts foam-filled rubber tires which roll particularly well on smooth sidewalks as well as cobblestone and old, dilapidated sidewalks. There’s front suspension, which makes maneuvering through throngs of people that much easier.

But if it’s snowing heavily outdoors, I suggest you leave this thing at home and use a proper snow stroller such as the Bob Flex 3.0 Duallie instead.

Overall, it’s a decent buy if you can address the poorly designed storage basket issue from the get-go.

4. BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie: Best Double Jogging Stroller

Quick Product Stats and Features

Weight: 33.1 pounds + 44″ max height limit

Maximum weight limit: 100 pounds

Stroller design: Side-by-side

Wheels: 3 air-filled wheels and great suspension

Cup holders: NO

Canopy/Sunshade: Extendable sunshade with peekaboo windows

Meets Disneyland Stroller Size Requirements?  YES

If you own the Baby Jogger City Select and have been debating jogging with it, stop and get the Bob Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie Double Stroller. Because the Bob Duallie is a proper jogging stroller while the Baby Jogger City Select and all the options reviewed here aren’t ideal for jogging.

It owns a set of 3 large wheels (16″ in the rear and 12″ for the 360 swivel wheel). And its suspension isn’t like anything you’ve ever seen. Small wonder it maneuvers like a dream over curbs and bumps and potholes.

It’s a solid yet nimble double stroller thanks to the amazing suspension it has. Whether weaving through crowds in a busy urban setting, gliding over bumpy dirt trails, or rolling over beach sand and mud and snow, the large, air-filled rubber wheels of the Bob Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallies got you covered.

When jogging, lock the front wheel to make sure it doesn’t turn haphazardly to avoid crashing. But when you transition to smoother terrain, unlock the front wheel so you can steer the stroller effortlessly.

If you roll over pierce-y stuff such as sticker seeds, expect to get nasty punctures all the time. Getting the tires from the wheels to replace the tubes can be difficult if you don’t have the right tools. So, do yourself a favor and get a standard bike replacement kit to get the tires off. Since the wheels are aerated, you obviously need a small hand pump.

The seats have thick padding, and my babies fell asleep almost immediately. Also, the seats recline, and getting them to recline isn’t difficult. What’s more, I could recline the seats independently, which some strollers don’t allow.

I’ve met strollers that didn’t recline individually. Instead, the seats stayed in one fixed recline angle, and that wasn’t nice at all.

Its sun canopies extend outwards with ease, and they come all the way down so your kiddos can stay adequately shielded from the sun’s UV rays. Plus there are magnetic peekaboo windows so you can connect and play with your LOs any time. Additionally, these canopies are adjustable to at least 2 heights, which is nice.

It folds easy and the folded form isn’t too bulky. And the canopies don’t fade as quickly as some do.

But it’s baffling that this fancy double jogger didn’t have snack trays for kids or a parent console. That said, the stroller boasts multiple pockets (6) and a giant-sized undercarriage.

It comes with a foam handlebar, which soils easily, but the material makes for really comfortable grip. Plus, the handle is height adjustable so that active members of the family can share the stroller.

Even though there’s no handbrake, foot brake works supremely well. An easy-to-reach lever presses with ease and activates the brakes instantly. Aside from this, there’s a tether strap so the stroller won’t roll away when going down a hill.

5. Vista V2 Double Stroller: Best Convertible Double

Quick Product Stats and Features:

Weight: 35.8 pounds (bassinet 8.8 pounds + stroller 27 pounds)

Maximum weight limit: 85 pounds

Stroller design: Convertible style stroller

Wheels: 4 foam-filled wheels + good suspension

Cup holders: NO

Canopy/Sunshade: YES, bassinet has a canopy too

Meets Disneyland Stroller Size Requirements?  YES

Do you adore things that look like royalty? That’s a good reason to grab the Uppababy Vista V2 Convertible Stroller.

No feature or component on this I’ll-grow-with-your-kids stroller looks like an afterthought. It looks and feels nicely made. The first impression I had was that it’s an extremely durable stroller, and it sure does hold up to constant abuse.

This expensive stroller starts out as a single stroller, evolves into a double stroller, and eventually becomes a 3-kid workhorse. The bassinet is part of the deal, but they don’t include the infant car seat or the Rumble seat.

The Vista V2 offers multiple carrying modes. You can carry both kids forward-facing depending on age and maturity. Or you can carry one forward-facing and the other rear-facing while a third child rides standing on a stroller board.

You can carry a 3-month-old in the bassinet and a 3-year toddler in the main stroller seat (50 pounds max weight limit).

The bassinet keeps smaller and taller babies nice and comfy. One thing most kids do when laid in the bassinet is, well, napping. This bassinet has a nice canopy for when things get sunny. And with the right accessories (bassinet stand), your LO can sleep there overnight.

I learned that when you use the bassinet and toddler seat, the little passengers sit high enough as opposed to too close to the ground.

But when you mount the Rumble seat and Mesa Infant Car Seat, it seems like the child on the front seat sits too low to the ground. BTW, the weight limit for the Rumble seat is 35 pounds while the height limit is 36″.

To use the bassinet with the toddler seat, you need to use lower adapters. It beats me why the Uppababy doesn’t include the requisite adapters at this prohibitive price point.

And if your toddler needs a little more legroom with the bassinet/car seat configuration, use upper adapters. Sadly, they don’t give you any upper adapters.

What if you have 3 kids? Get a compatible ride-along board and have the oldest kiddo ride there. It works perfectly.

It’s not too hard to fold, but it isn’t any kind of compact once collapsed. But it’s not too bulky that you can’t lift it at all. Best part? The stroller self-stands, which makes storage easier.

The underneath storage is spacious (holds 30lbs worth of stuff). However, with bassinet-only configuration and no upper adapters, good luck accessing your stuff.

The canopy is made from a high-quality fabric, and the footrest is long enough. This material retains the original color for long so that your ride looks fantastic for that much long.

Adjusting the 5-pount harness is unbelievably easy. Nothing irks like a hard-to-adjust safety harness. And the padding on the main seat is extremely plush for the comfiest rides. Plus, this seat reclines to multiple positions and adjusting is easy.

The handle and belly bar have leather covering. Leather looks nice and lasts, plus it’s easier to clean and grips firmly. But if you grip too hard, blisters can happen. Oh, and the handle is height-adjustable.

Finally, you’ll have to buy cup holders and a parent console if you like the convenience they offer. For some reason, the fanciest double strollers don’t offer the most basic extras.

Overall, it’s a worth top-end convertible stroller for 2-3 kids. But the combined max weight limit could be a little higher.

How to Choose a Good Stroller for Twins

Twin strollers are rarely a cheap purchase. This makes the buying decision a journey fraught with doubts and confusion. This guide aims to trace out a clear path for all overwhelmed-by-the-bazillion-choices moms and dads out there.

I hope that this resource leads you to the best twin stroller for the money. To get there, there’s a bunch of considerations that you need to pay attention to, and those selection factors are what the following sections are all about.

1.Decide 0n the Type of Double Stroller You Want

There are 3 kinds of double strollers to consider namely:

• Convertible Double Strollers
• Side-by-side Double Strollers
• Inline Double Strollers

Let’s look at each kind to help you make the right decision.

Convertible Double Strollers

Who is a convertible double stroller good for? It works best for parents of toddlers who are expecting another baby. They come in an expandable design and they’re a great choice for growing families. This design allows you to add an extra seat when needed, and this allows you to carry a baby and a toddler. Typically, convertible double strollers work similar to tandem/inline twin strollers.

Side-by-side Double Strollers

Side by side double strollers are pretty common and they’re often the best choice for transporting twins. The seats on these strollers are placed next to each other and on the same level. Usually, the seats are the same size and have the same weight limits. You want to pick an option your kids will use all the way through toddlerhood.

One nice thing about side-by-side double strollers is that they’re quite easy to steer and maneuver. However, since the seats are positioned next to each other, side-by-side strollers tend to be wider than other kinds. This means that pushing these strollers through narrow aisles and doorways can be a real hassle.

Inline Double Strollers (AKA Tandem Strollers)

Unlike side-by-side strollers, tandem strollers have two seats positioned one behind the other. These seats aren’t usually the same size, and the rear one isn’t at the same level with the front one, which allows for stadium-style seating.

One beautiful thing about inline double strollers is that they tend to be narrower than side-by-side doubles. They fit narrower doorways and other tighter spaces better. One of the two seats may recline further than the other one, which creates more legroom for a toddler.

This stroller type works best for two kids of different ages, for example a baby and a toddler. When out shopping, be sure to pick a tandem double stroller that fits two car seats.

If you’d like your toddlers to be able to interact with each other as you wheel them around, choose an option that allows the young passengers to sit facing each other.

2.What Kind of Terrain Are You Looking At?

If the sidewalks and streets where you’re at are in good condition, you can use any decent stroller with foam tires. Foam tires are lightweight and never get flats no matter where you ride.

But foam stroller tires may not be the best option for rougher terrain. When it comes to rolling over rough terrain, you want to use a double stroller with pneumatic rubber tires.

These are relatively large tires that grip surfaces of various kinds reasonably well. They show great rolling performance whether you’re riding on a smooth sidewalk or a rougher dirt trail.

Pick a Double Stroller That Matches Your Lifestyle

Aside from terrain type, think about your lifestyle. If you’ll travel a lot with your twins, consider getting a lightweight option such as an umbrella-style double stroller.

If you lead an active lifestyle and don’t want to stop jogging just because you’re a new mother or dad, consider investing in a good jogging double stroller. Most jogging strollers for twins have three pneumatic tires, and they’re super sturdy.

3. Planning on Visiting Disneyland With Your Twins?

The current Disney stroller rules require that any single or double stroller be not longer than 52″ and not wider than 31″. Many double strollers are compact enough for Disneyland. So if you’re planning on traveling to Disneyland Theme Parks with your twins, make sure to pick a stroller that won’t get turned away at the gate.

4.Do You Need Extras Such as Foot Muffs, Storage, Snack Trays, or Cup Holders?

One thing you’ll want on a double stroller is enough storage. Be sure to learn the storage capacity of the baskets. Foot muffs aren’t absolutely necessary, but they’re a nice addition for when it gets snowy outdoors and you still want to walk around with your two toddlers.

Snack trays and cup holders are also nice extra features on a double stroller. You want your little ones to stay busy wit snacks and drinks as you wheel them around. BTW, availing snacks to kids in a stroller is one of the best ways to keep toddlers entertained during strolls.

5. Double Stroller Weight (Double Strollers Weigh 20-35 Pounds)

Double strollers aren’t known for being lightweight, but they’re not too heavy as to be impossible to push around with twins strapped in. If you prefer a lightweight double stroller, get something that weighs 20-25 pounds. The majority of twin strollers out there weigh 30-35 pounds.

Should you always pick a lightweight double stroller? No. Being lightweight is great because it makes carrying the stroller around easy. The downside to the lightest options is that some can be pretty flimsy, and tipping over with baby buckled in isn’t uncommon.

While a 30-pound double stroller can seem too heavy, the extra weight suggests that the manufacturer has used high-quality materials to make the contraption. As long as the double isn’t extremely heavy (40 pounds or heavier), pick it up and get going.

Because many of the finest strollers for two kids are too heavy, many C-section moms tend to prefer lightweight double stroller frames from birth through around month 9.

6.Double Stroller Cost and Brand

Truth be told: the best twin strollers can be pretty expensive. You’re looking at a bill of $200-ish for a budget double twin stroller and well over $500 for mid-range options. And if you’re seeking for a premium pick, be ready to spend $1000+.

As for brands, some of the most popular double stroller brands include Bob Strollers, Mountain Buggy, Bugaboo Donkey, Bumbleride Indie, Peg Perego, and Baby Jogger among others.

But giving your business to a parent-trusted stroller brand doesn’t guarantee that you’ll end up with a double that’ll work for your twins. It’s best to spend enough time reading double stroller reviews online so you can know which models other parents have used and liked.

Strollers for Twins FAQs

What Kind of Stroller is Best for Twins?

A double stroller is the best kind of stroller for twins, preferably one that lets the twins sit side by side as opposed to sitting one behind the other. Another kind of stroller that one could use is a lightweight double frame stroller.

This option is essentially a frame with two sitting areas where two infant car seats sit. It’s a great choice for C-section moms since they don’t have enough strength to lug around a 35-pound full-size double stroller.

Which is the Best Stroller for Two Toddlers?

There aren’t very many strollers for two toddlers out there. However, it’s not too hard to find an option that sits two toddlers side by side Side-by-side double strollers tend to have two stroller seats of the same size as well as the same weight limits. If the upper limit of each seat is anything above 40 pounds, the double stroller would be a good choice for toddlers.

You can also use a tandem-style double stroller for your two toddlers. This stroller design has the rear seat being bigger than the front one, and it’s weight limit is typically higher. In this case, you carry the lighter/younger kid at the front while the older heavier toddler sits in the back.

Can You Put Twins in the Same Stroller?

Yes, you can put twins in the same stroller as long as it’s a double stroller. Each child needs to have their own seat, but if you can also add a stroller board to a single stroller to haul around an older child. So one of the toddlers would sit on the stroller’s seat (the younger toddler) while the older one would stand on the stroller board affixed to the rear axle.

Can You Connect Two Strollers Together?

Yes, you can use stroller connector to link two umbrella strollers together, making your very own double umbrella stroller. You can buy stroller connectors on Amazon or wherever, or you can use a little creativity with materials such as PVC pipes and create your own stroller connectors.

Do strollers like these work at all? Yes, they do. However, one can make mistakes when connecting the strollers and end up with a double umbrella stroller who wheels crash into each other. And if the connector ever breaks, you’ll watch in disbelief as one of the umbrella strollers roll away with one of your twins onboard! To prevent any of this from happening, it’s best to just buy a safety-certified double twin stroller.

Which is the Best Twin Strollers for Newborns?

The Uppababy Vista V2 is the best-for-the-money double twin stroller I know. It looks really fabulous, feels sturdy, and the wheels roll nicely over different kinds of terrain. The seat pads are thick enough and comfortable. And the safety harnesses do the job safely and securely.

Also, this stroller for 3 offers a combined upper weight limit of 85 pounds. I’ve seen many choices that cost way more yet offered a lower weight limit.

The canopy adjusts well and a magnetic peekaboo window. And the storage basket underneath is a handy extra for when you want to carry diaper bags, wipes, and other baby essentials.

Admittedly, this option isn’t a bargain-counter purchase, but it’s not too expensive. You may explore alternative options such as using a stroller board on an existing single stroller or use a baby carrier for twins.

Or you can opt to use an ultra-lightweight double stroller frame to wheel your twins around in their infant car seats and graduate to a full-size toddler stroller at 9-12 months.
