The canopies cover both fabric seats If you want. They're not very ventilated and can appear like an oven on hot days. They also don't have a peek-a-boo window to see the children.

The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista.

Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents the option of seating to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller come with reclined backrests and canopies that are separate. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front and rear seat (car seat sold separately) with the exclusive click-in attachment that eliminates the need for add-on straps or bars, which many competing models require.

The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller offer a smooth ride on all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping simple.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for ease of use. This metric is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller and to adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, lift and carry the folded stroller like you would put it into a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and remove an infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs in at 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the extreme side of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. It also has limited visibility when a car seat is placed in the back. Lastly the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, particularly when used for a long time. Even with these issues, we believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will keep your family together for a long time.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller that is ideal for families with two children. The front swivel-lock wheels turn to allow it to be maneuvered on flat surfaces and lock for stability on bumpy surfaces, making it easy to go where you want to go. It also has an umbrella fold that can be closed in seconds and stands upright to make it easy to transport. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and its foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift in our tests.
This stroller has independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its large canopy can provide UPF 50 sun protection, and it comes with a peekaboo view window to allow for easy monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We also didn't love that the cup holder is extremely high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to access it.
In our tipping-test, the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than average for the double pram. It's also heavier than our top picks but it does provide a decent amount of storage space at a reasonable price and has ample padding in the seats and handle.
The stroller is a versatile model with three modes: wagon (just to store things), jogger (with two 5-point safety harnesses for children) and car seat mode. It can accommodate one infant car seat, however, pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and comes with a limited warranty. Jenni Gritters has been a parenting and outdoor journalist for more than a decade.
