The Benefits Of Double Pushchair At A Minimum, Once In Your Lifetime
Buying a Double Pushchair For Twins Or Two Siblings Close in Age?

If you're expecting twins or two children close in age, a double pushchair gives the flexibility you need for your growing family. Choose from tandem models or side-by-side configurations like the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is narrow enough to fit in standard doorways.

Many models can be used with a baby car seat and have reclined seats. Some models can even be converted to single mode, as with the egg2 Pushchair that is loved for its design and versatility.

Side by Side

The side-by-side buggy is the most popular choice for families with twins, or siblings of different age. They typically have two fixed seats and one canopy. They're also wider than inline buggys to let both children see the same thing. They're easy to navigate, and some come with front and rear suspensions for better handling over bumps or over the kerb when turning.

They can be more expensive than other double buggies however they have a better resale price, especially when they're a popular brand. They're also great for jogging, and can handle rough terrain, while the seats provide plenty of space for your children to relax. These buggies come in a range of colors and styles to suit your family's tastes.

Certain models come with additional accessories to help keep your baby snug. These can include baby blankets and seats, liners, and head supports. They may also have pockets to store snacks and toys. Parents can also find an infant buggy with an adult console to keep important items in one place.

The 2023 version of the popular buggy has an updated look with a larger sun canopy, and new logos. It's a stylish option for parents who value their image and is compatible with iCandy child car seats. It's easy to assemble although Kerry found that it took a long time to get the parts out of their boxes. The packaging was clever and well-labeled making it easier to understand what to expect out of each part.

It's a little heavier than other double buggies, but it's still fairly light for an inline model. It's also extremely versatile and it can be used with two or more infant car seats. It can be converted from a single car seat to an entire tandem in just a single click.

The Vista v2 from UPPAbaby is another top pick for double strollers. It's ideal for busy parents. It's extremely easy to maneuver through tight spaces and can tackle the tough terrain with ease. It comes with a large basket, a recline that is independent on both seats, and a 5-point cushioned harness to keep your kids safe.

Tandem

This clever frame expands in size, allowing an additional seat to be added without the need for compromise in space. This is a great option for twins, as it can accommodate two carrycots or car seat. It's also a great option for road trips. It's a bit heavier than some of its competitors and can feel long when pushing in double mode, but it's got plenty of storage space, including a roomy shopping basket. The iCandy Peach has a sleek elegant design that is popular with parents who are a bit glam. Its reclining main seat also can be adjusted into four different positions, and it will expand with your child's weight up to 25kg. The quick-release Velcro fasteners make it simple to add a second seat. This model can also be used in tandem mode, with one child seated on top of another. It's a great option when you have a newborn who you don't want to disturb in their sleep.

This configuration places the seats one on top of the other which makes it more difficult for toddlers and their parents to get distracted when they are out and about. This type of pushchair features an upholstered seat that can recline completely, making it suitable for infants. A lot of models have higher and a more upright seat for children who are older. Based on the design, it is possible to set them with the intention of facing each other or the world. With a tandem pushchair, it's more streamlined to fit through doorways that are narrow, however it may be a challenge to negotiate kerbs and stairs with two children.

A fantastic option for families with special needs, this versatile pushchair is an ideal solution for children with disabilities that benefit from having a younger sibling to play with and encourage. It's not inexpensive, but it's constructed to last. There's also plenty of storage space to meet your needs. It comes with a range of accessories that allow you to customize the buggy to suit your family, including rain covers and liners.

Lightweight

The most double pushchairs that are lightweight are agile, compact and easy to use. They're usually made of a sturdy aluminium frame, but some also have air-filled wheels that allow them to slide over even rough surfaces. They also come with a single-handed fold as well as handy shoulder straps that make them more convenient to carry. Find additional accessories like a sunshade rain cover, and foot muff.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double stroller that comes at low cost. It is a travel system that can be used as a lightweight stroller and also a fully-functioning travel system. A carrycot can be added to allow it to be suitable for use from birth. It has an aesthetically pleasing side-by-side design with the two seats recline independently. This allows for the ideal position for infants and toddlers. It comes with a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and a toddler seat that is fully padded and adjustable.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It can accommodate twins or a baby as well as a toddler, and is compatible with a wide range of car seats. It has a stylish and sleek frame, with large wheels at the back to withstand rough terrain. It's ideal for jogging. The double mode could make it a bit long, and there is no storage beneath the seat.


When comparing double pushchairs, think about the weight of each frame, seat and suspension. The heavier the buggy, the harder it'll be to push, particularly over uneven surfaces. Make sure to check the dimensions of the folding, and see if it's possible to remove the seat to make it smaller. Check for features like a simple one-handed fold which test-run tester Kirstie described as "genius" and a useful strap that you can sling over your shoulders.

You can also choose a tandem double stroller, which places the children one behind the other. It's not as maneuverable as a side-byside, but it's still a viable option for many families and is suitable for older toddlers. Certain tandems have recliner seats that let children lie down or recline depending on their mood.

Confortable

If you're the parent of twins or two siblings close in age, having the best double pushchair can make outings a whole lot easier. There are many options for comfortable ones on the market. Whether you want to buy a side-byside model that can accommodate a carrycot and seat or a tandem with an adjustable rear and front seat, there's sure to be a suitable option for your family.

Look for seats that have multiple reclining positions and adjustable calfrests. They are usually controlled by one-handed buttons located at the rear of the seat. (Though in Push Chairs And Prams can be fiddly for small-handed parents). Some of the best double pushchairs also offer a large UPF 50+ sun canopy, with magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extender to protect your children from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

You can save money by purchasing the pushchair that can convert from single mode to dual mode as your child grows. The egg2, as an example, is a stylish option that can be used right from birth with the included baby or toddler carriers and even comes with a RumbleSeat as an additional feature for older siblings. The reclining seats as well as the spacious carrycots were especially well-loved by home testers who loved the possibility of it growing with your family.

On the other side, if you're looking for a low-cost option that will last from birth until toddlerhood, try the iCandy Venus. It includes a seat as well as a footmuff, but it can be combined with the brand's newborn cocoons (available separately for a price of just PS59) to turn it into a twin pram suitable for twins or toddlers. Our labs loved how simple it is to change between configurations and found the instructions to be clear and straightforward - although it may take some time to get it all out of the box.

Some double pushchairs will only allow you to place your children side-by-side. They are generally oriented towards the world however there are some exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet that can be configured for both front and parent facing seating (though this can increase the overall width of the chassis). Tandems are generally easier to maneuver over kerbs, however they can be difficult to navigate through narrow aisles and doorways.
