The canopies cover both fabric seats should you wish to. They're not a lot of ventilation and can feel like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to see your kids.

This is one of the best twin strollers designed for new borns. It can be used right out of box as a double stroller and is compatible with many bassies and infant car seats. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets simultaneously when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is an improved version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is a half-inch taller, the footrest has more space and the canopy is equipped with a zip-out fabric extender that gives extra coverage. The harness is also modernized since it doesn't need to be re-threaded. This makes it much easier to adjust.

If you have a child who is old enough to stand up then the Vista stroller can fit another child in with its piggyback board accessory.

A large, zipper-accessible basket in the rear offers ample storage for equipment. The handle is cushioned to fit dad or mom. The suspension and wheels of the tandem double stroller provide smooth riding on all terrains. The one-touch linked rear breaks with toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high scores for its ease of use. This metric 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 folded stroller and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
There are some downsides to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded, which is closer to the extreme end of our metric than the average for this group of strollers. Additionally, it is not able to see clearly in the back seat when a car seat is installed. Lastly, the front tray release is sometimes difficult to operate, especially after long-term use. Despite these limitations, we think this is a great double stroller that can keep up with your family for many years to come.

We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder is very high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend to reach it.
