The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono is Lauren Ro's top stroller. It can be adapted to your family's needs effortlessly. It can be used with two infant car seats as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an excellent choice for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the ideal double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish and attractive side-by-side double stroller. It's a more bulkier than other Bugaboo models however, it is sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that is adjustable that can be extended and retracted easily. It also has a great reach, so it's easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be placed so that one child sits in front of another or so that the children face each the other. They can also recline in a different way from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. They're not very ventilated and can be like an oven on hot days. There's no way to see your kids.
This stroller features an exclusive feature that allows it to expand with your family. It can convert from a single seat (Mono Mode) to the double side by side stroller. This is the only double stroller convertible to do this. It can be used in conjunction with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces and handles slopes and steps well. The only issue is that it could be difficult to navigate busy restaurants and shops. It is also a little difficult to fold up, especially when seats are attached. It's still pretty small, however, and is able to fit through most doors easily.
There is a storage bin that fits on the frame, next to the front seat in mono mode. This is great for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can accommodate up to 100 lbs. This is more than any stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista V2
This stroller is one of the best twin strollers for newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with many infant car seats and bassets. 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 now elevated by a half inch, the footrest is bigger and the canopy comes with an extra fabric extension that zips out. The harness has also been updated and does not require changed out, making it simple to adjust.
The stroller has reasonably large wheels (8 inches in the front and 11.5'' in the back) with strong suspension, so it is able to handle all kinds of terrain. The front wheels are made of rubber and are ideal for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones. While the rear wheels have more tread to tackle the grassy hills and sidewalks.
A child's bicycle can also be connected to the front of a stroller. This is a great solution for parents who do not want to use an infant car seat. If you have a child who is able to stand and walk, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride-along board accessory.

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 each child. The double stroller's two standard seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for additional bars and straps, like many competing models require.
A comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a rear zipper access basket offers plenty of storage space for all of your gear. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding across all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is to open and close the snack trays, engage and disengage brakes, and then lift the stroller that is folded and carry it like the trunk of a car.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the beast side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this class of strollers. It also is not able to see clearly in the back seat when the car seat is in place. Lastly the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we still consider this to be a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with two children. double infant stroller can be rotated to allow smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with an umbrella that folds compactly and can be closed in seconds. It is also able to stand upright, making transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame is light with foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers that we have tested.
This side-by-side stroller offers reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection. It comes with a peekaboo view window for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow however. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, which means you'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over at a 39-degree angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average, but offers more storage for the money. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
This stroller is multi-functional and offers three modes. It can be used as a cart (for stuff) as well as a Jogger mode (with two 5-point safety belts for children), or car seat mode. It can be used with one infant car seat, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is 6 months old before jogging with them. They should also be 1 year old before letting them go on rough terrain. It comes in black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
