Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little bit bulkier than the other Bugaboo models but it's sturdy and built to last. It has a handlebar that can be adjusted to retract and extend easily. It also has a great reach, so it's easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when fully loaded.
Seats are spacious, and can be positioned in a way that one child is on top of the other or so that children face each one. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. But they don't have enough ventilation, which makes them feel like a small oven on hot days. There is no peek-a-boo to see your kids.

It is the only stroller that can be converted that can do this! It can even be used with an additional car seat or bassinet for newborns.

Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is among the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous infant car seats and bassets. The Vista Upper and Vista Lower adapters allow you to use two infant car seats at once.
Comparatively to the first Vista, the V2 has added a few enhancements to make it even better. The toddler seat is half an inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which adds extra coverage. Also, the harness has been modernized - it does not require re-threaded, making it easy to adjust.
The stroller is equipped with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a strong suspension system, which lets it take on any terrain. The front wheels are rubber which makes them suitable for navigating through rocks, gravel and cobblestones, while the rear wheels have more tread to conquer grassy hills and sidewalks.
Another excellent feature is the possibility to attach a child's bike to the front of the stroller, which is a handy option for those who aren't keen on using an infant car seat or Rumbleseat. And if you have an older child who is ready to stand and walk, the Vista can even fit the third child using its piggyback ride-along board accessory.

Cortina Together
For the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that allow them to adjust to each child's individual needs and preferences. The double stroller's two standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopies. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-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 additional straps and bars, as many other models need.
A comfortable three-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 a smooth ride on any terrain. The one-touch linked rear breaks when activated by a toe-tap, making stopping a breeze.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This is based on the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also reflects the ease with which it is to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, raise the stroller when folded and then carry it like a trunk.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and is closer to the extreme side of our metric, and is heavier than the average for this category of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car-seat is installed in the back. In addition the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after long-term use. However, despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with 2 children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to maneuver on flat surfaces and secure for stability on bumpy surfaces making it easy to go where you'd like to go. It also has a compact umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its light aluminum frame, foam handles and straps for carrying make it one of the easiest to lift double strollers in our tests.
This stroller with a side-by-side design offers independently reclining seats and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both kids. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with a peekaboo view to make it easy for monitoring. We would prefer to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test it was found that the Jeep was able to tip over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than the norm for the double pram. It's also heavier than our top picks but it offers an adequate amount of storage space for its cost and has plenty of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller can be used in three modes that include wagon (just to store things) as well as jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses designed for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate a single car seat for infants. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is 6 months old before you run with them. It's black and comes with a lifetime warranty.
