Bugaboo Donkey
This is the best double stroller for families who are looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a little 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 great reach, making it easy for my 6'1 husband to push, even when loaded.
The seats are large and can be placed so that one child is on top of the other, or to have children facing each the other. The seats can recline independently from each other. The canopies are big and cover both seat fabrics when desired. But they don't have much ventilation so they can appear like a small oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-aboo window to view the children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to grow with your family from the single seat (Mono mode) all the way to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only convertible double stroller that can do this! It can be used with the bassinet for infants or a car seat.
It is easy to navigate on smooth surfaces and can handle slopes and steps with ease. It isn't easy to maneuver through crowded restaurants and shops. It is also difficult to fold, particularly when seats are connected. It's still pretty compact, and can be tucked away easily.
There is a storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. thule double stroller is ideal for groceries and other supplies. The main storage basket beneath the seats is big and can hold up to 100 pounds. This is more than any other stroller on our list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This stroller is one of the top twin strollers for newborns. It can be used right from the box as a double stroller and is compatible with numerous bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets at the same time if you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a redesigned 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 additional fabric extension that zips out. The harness is also modernized, as it does not require re-threading. This makes it much easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in the back) and a strong suspension system that lets it navigate any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal for navigating rocks and gravel and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be attached to the front of the stroller. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to invest in a baby car seat. If you have a child old enough to stand up then 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 set up, though it can take some time to take it out of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow, and there's also a YouTube video to help for assistance if you require more information.

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 every child. The two seats in the double stroller have canopies that are reclining and backrests that are separate. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the top baby car seat in both the front and rear seat. ( double buggy side by side sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to fit dad or mom. The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension provide a smooth ride over all types of terrain, while the 1-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping a breeze.
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 reflects how easy it is for you to open and close the snack tray and engage and disengage the brakes, lift the stroller when folded and then carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the top of our measurement. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when the car seat is fitted. In addition, the front tray release can be difficult to operate, especially after prolonged use. Even with these limitations, we consider this to be a great double stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for a long time.

The Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller is an affordable, lightweight stroller ideal for families with two kids. Its front swivel lock wheels rotate to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces, and lock for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to travel wherever you want to go. It also features a compact umbrella fold that can be closed in a matter of seconds, and it stands upright for easy transportation.

This side-by-side stroller offers independently reclining seats and foot rests to ensure maximum comfort for both children. Its canopy is large and offers UPF 50 protection, and comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented for more airflow. We were not happy 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 was able to tip over at 39 degrees of incline, which is above average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average however, it has more storage for the price. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
