A double pushchair is a fantastic option if you love long walks with your toddler and you are planning to have another child. There are many choices to choose from.

The majority of tandem buggies can adapt to various configurations. Some tandem buggies feature seats that can be reversed to allow siblings to face each other, or you.

Size

If you're purchasing a double pushchair right from the start, it's worth bearing in mind that these are usually larger than single buggies. You should make sure that your buggy can fit into the doors of your home and is capable of easily moving between stairs and kerbs.

Double strollers come in two different designs: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be a great option for parents with twins, while side-byside strollers can be used by children of different ages. They are often converted into single-to-double pushchairs by adding a seat or carrycot to the frame.

Most tandem buggies are built with seats facing one another. They also offer a variety of seat configurations permitting your children to view each other while they ride. If your children are old enough to get along (or at least not fight over who is the best seat!) You may discover that they're more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing one another.

A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings that need to be seated side-by-side is the iCandy Venus. This attractive and affordable buggy also has the added benefit of being able to carry an infant car seat which means it can grow with your family. To make sure your newborns are cozy and warm in their cocoons iCandy also comes with additional accessories that other brands charge for separately, like fleecy liner.

Egg2 is a great alternative for families who are growing. This sleek pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single or in a double thanks to its versatile frame that has adaptors available to fit a seat or a carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market however it does come with unique characteristics that differentiate it from competitors, including a large shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies are usually heavier and bulkier. If you're planning to buy one that you intend to keep for a long period of time, keep this in mind. They do come with more storage space and a bigger basket. They also typically feature a parent-facing seat with an extendable sunshade and the peekaboo window, aswell with seats that recline independently. Some have an adjustable leg and foot rest, which helps with any discomfort that is caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.

The most well-known double buggy styles include side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children seated side-by-side, giving them the same view. This can prevent sibling rivalries over seating. They're not foolproof and children may still punch or kick each other while riding. Side-by-sides are a classic model, featuring two fixed seats that are affixed to the same frame of a stroller. They may not offer as many configurations and are ideal for infants who are able to sit on their own but don't require the back support provided by an infant car seat.

If you're looking for a light double from birth, our lab experts like the Cybex Venus. This innovative model can be expanded width-wise to convert from mono to twin mode, allowing either two or one carrycot and/or infant seats. It's also compact when folded, and features a spacious shopping basket, as well as rear and front suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The seats, including the RumbleSeat are padded, comfortable, and have adjustable footrests and leg rests. They also have a an ample UPF 50+ canopy that offers plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is another good value option. Similar to the Venus, it's a side-by-side pushchair that can be set up to fit your family. It takes a single infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (though this limits the usability to twins). The seat can recline independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most nimble handling among double buggies with test drivers reporting it's easy to move through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The seat padding and fabrics are comfortable for both kids, plus the UPF 50+ canopy is wide enough to provide real shade. It also offers a cute peekaboo view. Our test participants also loved that the seat reclines at various angles. The only drawback is that the fold isn't as compact as some other models, but our lab experts believe it is easy to open and close.

Double buggies are larger, heavier and more expensive, but are ideal for families with two children of similar age (generally younger than 4). They're likely to be used for many years, so choose the best brand you can count on to last for a long time and that will keep its value well.

Tandem buggies start life as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that allow you to add another seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, while others - such as this one from Leclerc - can switch to a side-byside configuration when your children are ready for it.

While a side-by-side is generally larger than other types of double buggy It can be a bit easier to navigate through kerbs, as the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable for avoiding sibling squabbles as children sharing the same seat can kick or punch one another while riding.

A front-facing tandem could be an ideal alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children. It can also lessen the likelihood of sibling fights because your children aren't directly facing eachother. Some children may be a bit secluded when a tandem faces towards the front, since they don't get the same view.

The egg2 is a sleek, modern product with an affordable price. Our test subjects liked how easy it was to push, but they would like to have more storage. They also wanted the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn, or as the combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats or car seat(s) for twins. It's also the most flexible of our double buggies, which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favourite since 2009. It's not the cheapest double stroller on the market however it's competitively priced and has a high resale value.

Stores

A double pushchair can simplify your life for parents with more than one baby. There's a broad selection of double strollers on the market from tandems to side-by-sides and tandems in different styles and colours. But, you must be aware of your family's lifestyle and the features that are important to you prior purchasing a product. Evaluating your requirements will help you narrow down your choices and choose the best double pram for you.

A quality double buggy should be agile and easy to maneuver. It should be lightweight. This is particularly important if you are living in an urban area where you require a double-buggy that is able to navigate through busy streets and fit through doorways that are narrow for shopping or on lunch runs.

The best double buggies feature suspensions that reduce the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces, and recline options for when your little one is looking to sleep. Both seats should have adjustable foot and leg rests, a UPF 50+ canopy, with a peekaboo window, and comfy straps and buckles.

Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a double pushchair is how compact it is when folded. Certain double buggies are designed to fold up into an incredibly compact size that is easy to carry and fit in small spaces like cupboards. Others may be slightly bulkier but they'll still be simple to transport and store.

If you're on a tighter budget to work with there are high-quality double strollers that will do the job. For example, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single stroller or a double and comes with a basket that is placed under the seat in a parent-facing position. It is light it folds flat and has a very high resale cost.

The UPPAbaby is a fantastic option for families because it can be used to accommodate two infant car seats and be set up in various ways. It comes with reversible seats to allow your children to face either one another or the entire world, and it can also be equipped with a bassinet suitable for infants.
