Best Double Strollers for Twins
Two seats side by side, 34.7 pounds, 29.25 inches wide and 50 pounds per seat for $749.99: the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double is the one that suits most twin families. BabyGearLab names it the double for most families, and it comes in under a standard doorway, though testers say a doorway can still feel tight at an angle.
Twins force one choice before any other: side by side or one behind the other. The seven side-by-side strollers give each child the same seat and view but run 25.5 to 31.5 inches wide. The four tandems are 23.8 to 26 inches wide, narrow enough for any aisle, but testers found the Vista and City Select 2 cramped and the City Select 2's length hard to steer. Price is the other big spread, from $214.99 to $2,419.
Our picks

Doorway widths, side-by-side versus tandem
A standard interior doorway is about 30 to 32 inches. Four side-by-side strollers come in under 30: the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 (25.5), UPPAbaby Minu Duo (27.8), Bugaboo Donkey 6 Twin (29.1) and City Mini GT2 Double (29.25). The Joovy Scooter X2 is exactly 30, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie is 30.5, and the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double's figure is its stated door pass-through of 31.5, so measure before you buy either of the last two.
The tandems solve width and create length. The Baby Jogger City Select 2 Double is only 23.8 inches wide, but BabyGearLab found its toddler seats sit too close together and its fold needs the second seat removed to fit a trunk. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 Double stays as narrow as a single stroller at 25.7 inches, and its forward-facing setup was the most cramped of its configurations.
Seat limits when both kids grow at once
Twins outgrow a stroller at the same time, so the per-seat column shows the lower of the two seats. That hides a bigger number on two tandems: the Vista's main seat takes 50 pounds but its RumbleSeat takes 40, and the Graco Ready2Grow LX 2.0's front seat takes 50 while its rear takes 40. Four side-by-sides hold 50 pounds in both seats (the Donkey, BOB, Minu Duo and GT2). The Duet, Contours Options Elite V2 and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double stop at 40.
Starting with newborn twins
Several strollers here can carry two newborns, each in a different way. The Donkey ships with two bassinet fabric sets, the Minu Duo's seats both work from birth, the Duet takes two carrycots or two car seats, and the City Select 2 and the Contours each accept two infant car seats, which is why twin parents look at them. The Thule works from birth only with its bassinet or infant car seat adapter, both sold separately.
The cheapest stroller falls short here. The Sit N' Stand costs $214.99, but Baby Trend rates both of its positions from six months and the rear is a bench with a standing platform, so it cannot serve newborn twins on its own.
The options in detail
Bugaboo Donkey 6 Twin
Bugaboo's twin flagship: two full-size seats sitting beside each other, and the twin package ships with two bassinet fabric sets so newborn twins can lie flat from day one. It still slips through a standard doorway, the basket is unusually large, and it expands to carry a third child later. The catch is the price, which is roughly triple most of the field.
UPPAbaby Vista V3 Double
The Vista is sold as a single stroller and becomes a double when you add the RumbleSeat, with the two children riding one behind the other instead of beside each other. That inline layout is the whole appeal for city parents: it stays as narrow as a single stroller in shop aisles and elevators. BabyGearLab's testers found the trade-off is roominess, calling the forward-facing setup the most cramped of its configurations. The rear RumbleSeat is also rated lower than the main seat, which matters when both twins grow at the same rate.
Thule Urban Glide 3 Double
An all-terrain side-by-side built for parents who want to keep moving: large wheels, a suspension system, and a front wheel that locks straight for higher speeds. Thule says it can be used from birth with a bassinet or infant car seat adapter, both sold separately. BabyGearLab rated it the best all-terrain double they tested. It is on the heavy end of this field, and Thule publishes only folded dimensions, so measure your doorway before committing.
BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie
The running parent's double. Air-filled tires, mountain-bike style suspension and a swivel front wheel that locks for jogging, which reviewers say lets it turn tightly for a stroller this wide. BabyGearLab found it nimble and easy to push over most surfaces. The downsides are bulk: it is one of the widest here, it does not stand up on its own when folded, and it takes a large share of a trunk.
Baby Jogger City Select 2 Double
A modular inline double whose seats can be arranged several ways, and it accepts two infant car seats, which is what draws twin parents to it. BabyGearLab was not impressed: they found the toddler seats sit frustratingly close together, the length makes it hard to maneuver, and the fold is bulky enough that you have to remove the second seat to fit it in a trunk. Worth considering mainly if a narrow footprint matters more to you than the ride.
UPPAbaby Minu Duo
A compact side-by-side aimed at families who want two seats without a full-size frame, and the lightest stroller in this table by several pounds. Both seats take a child from birth, which is unusual at this size, and it folds in one step with a carrying handle built into the crossbar. UPPAbaby designed it to fit through a standard doorway. It is a travel and errands stroller rather than an all-terrain one.
Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double
BabyGearLab's pick as the double that suits most families. Rubber tires with all-wheel suspension, near-flat reclining seats, and Baby Jogger's one-step fold that collapses the whole stroller when you lift two straps. Testers noted its frame is narrower than many side-by-sides, which makes store aisles easier, though a doorway can still feel tight at an angle. Baby Jogger states it is not intended for jogging.
Contours Options Elite V2 Double
A tandem double whose two seats can be reconfigured many ways, and which takes two infant car seats with adapters, so it comes up often in twin discussions as a cheaper alternative to the premium inline strollers. The costs are size and capacity: it is the heaviest stroller in this table and one of the longest, and its seats are rated lower than most, so bigger kids outgrow it sooner.
Joovy Scooter X2
A no-frills side-by-side that sits between a double umbrella stroller and a full all-terrain double. Each child gets their own canopy with a peekaboo window, an individually reclining seat, a swing-open snack tray and a cup holder, and the frame still clears a standard doorway. Lucie's List rates it good value for the money. The trade-off is smaller wheels and less suspension than the all-terrain doubles here.
Graco Ready2Grow LX 2.0
A budget inline double with many riding arrangements, including a bench seat and a standing platform, so it stretches to cover different-age siblings as well as twins. The front and rear seats carry different weight limits, so it grows unevenly for two same-age children. BabyGearLab found the enormous storage basket hard to actually use, since it is awkward to reach and rated for only ten pounds, and rated the ride among the least comfortable they tested.
Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double
The cheapest way to push two children in this table, by a wide margin. It has a front seat and a rear seat that folds away to open up a platform an older child can stand on. Baby Trend rates both seats for children of at least six months, so it is not a from-birth stroller for twins on its own, and the rear position is a bench rather than a full second seat. Treat it as a budget stopgap rather than the stroller you use through the first year.
Mountain Buggy Duet V3
The narrowest side-by-side on the market: two seats in roughly the width of a single stroller, so it clears doorways and shop aisles that stop other doubles. It takes two carrycots or two car seats, so newborn twins can ride from birth. The compromise is seat size. Lucie's List measured the seats at about eleven inches each and notes the weight limits are lower than rival doubles, so bigger children outgrow it sooner. Mountain Buggy publishes its own specs in metric, so the figures here come from a US retailer's spec sheet.
How we researched this
Prices are for the stroller set up to carry two children, which matters for the ones that convert from a single: the Vista V3 Double's $1,345 is the list price for the double configuration, and the City Select 2 is priced as one double package. Where a brand sells the double as one product we used its own price, and the BOB, Contours and Graco prices come from US retailers because their makers do not publish one. Thule's $999.95 is list price, though it was on sale for $799.96 when checked in September 2026. Stroller weights are the maker's figure where one exists, and BabyGearLab's measured weight for the Vista, City Select 2, GT2 and Graco. The Duet's numbers come from a US retailer's spec sheet because Mountain Buggy publishes metric only. Every cell is filled.
Wagons were left out on purpose: they take no infant car seat and do not recline flat, so they do not work for twins in their first year. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand was cut because its price covers one seat, and the Chicco BravoFor2 because its rear position is a fold-away bonus seat for an older sibling. Car seat adapters and bassinets are often sold separately, so check what the box includes before comparing prices.
