Best: Bugaboo Donkey 3 Duo bassinet and seat stroller

The Cadillac of double strollers is the Bugaboo Donkey 3 Mono Stroller. It can be used as a single, but it is easily upgraded to become a stellar option for twins with the inclusion of the duo extension kit. You can configure it multiple ways. It features adjustable handlebars to accommodate all caregivers’ heights, rear-wheel brakes, lockable front-swivel wheels, expandable side luggage for storage, large UPF canopies with peek-a-boo flap windows, mesh side panels for comfort and breathability, and more. It is a hefty and sturdy ride, but it actually does fit through most standard doorways — which is a major win for parents.

Starting your search for a baby stroller for twins can feel like a huge undertaking. Moreover, many new parents may not initially realize that some double-stroller options are actually not ideal for two babies; rather, they are made for one infant and one toddler. So before you start browsing, make a list of what you want in a double stroller. What are your non-negotiable must-haves? Do you have a budget? Does it need to take two bassinets? Do you even care about color and style? Or, perhaps you are looking for all the bells and whistles. These three options are all great for different reasons — so do your due diligence, and get your gear on!
