Buying a Double Pushchair For Twins Or Two Siblings Close in Age?

Double pushchairs double are perfect for families with twins or children of similar age. Pick from side-byside or tandem models such as the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 that's slim enough to pass through standard doors.

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

Side by Side

Side-by-side 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 a bit wider than inline buggys to let both children be able to see the same thing. They're easy to maneuver, and some have front and rear suspensions to help with handling bumps or over the kerb while turning.

Although they may cost more than other double buggies but they tend to have better resale value, especially if you choose an established brand. They're also ideal for jogging and can tackle rough terrain, and the seats are spacious enough for your children to comfortably sit. They are available in a wide range of colours and designs to match your family's style.

Some models include extra accessories that can help keep your baby comfortable. These can include seat cushions, head supports, and baby blankets. They could also come with pockets to store snacks and toys. Parents can find an infant buggy with a console to keep essentials close at hand.

It can even switch from a single seat to a tandem with a single click, which is a big bonus for growing families.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is another top pick for double strollers, and it's ideal for parents who are busy. It's extremely maneuverable in tight spaces and can handle tough terrain with ease. It also comes with a large shopping basket, a recline that is independent for both seats, and a cushioned 5-point harness to keep your kids secure.

The iCandy Peach is a favourite among image-conscious parents and boasts an incredibly sleek, stylish design. Its reclining seat moves into four different positions, and will increase in size with your children's weight to 25kg.

This configuration places the seats one in front of another which makes it more difficult for toddlers and their parents to be distracted while they're out and out and about. This type of pushchair features padding that allows the seat to fully recline which makes it suitable for newborns.

It comes with a variety of accessories that allow you to personalize the buggy to meet your family's requirements for example, rain covers or lines.

Lightweight

The best lightweight double strollers are small easy to maneuver and agile. They're typically made of a sturdy aluminium frame, but some also have air-filled wheels that help them move over rough surfaces. Some models feature an easy fold that can be folded with one hand and shoulder straps that make them more convenient to carry. You can also look for other accessories like a sunshade rain cover, and foot muff.

If you're looking for a light double buggy that comes with a fantastic price, then the Cybex Mios is worth considering. It straddles two categories as it's a complete travel system as well as a light buggy that is suitable starting at birth with the use of the carrycot. It features a side by side design and both seats recline separately. This offers the perfect positioning for babies and young toddlers. It features a spacious UPF 50+ canopy, with peekaboo windows, and the toddler seat is cushioned and has adjustable foot and leg rests.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another top contender. It can be used to carry twins or a baby and a toddler. It is compatible with a variety of car seats. It features an elegant and stylish frame with large rear wheels that can handle rough terrain, and it's also suitable for jogging. It's a little long when used in double mode, though there's no storage space underneath the seat.

When comparing double pushchairs, think about the weight of each seat, frame and suspension. The heavier the pushchair, the harder it'll be to push, especially over uneven surfaces. Also, check the dimensions for folding and whether or not you can remove the seats, making it smaller. Consider features such as one-handed folding, which Kirstie was a home-based tester at the time, described as "genius" or straps that can be worn over your shoulder.

Alternatively, you can opt for a tandem pushchair that places children one behind the other. It's not as maneuverable as a side-by-side, however it's still a viable alternative for families of all sizes and is suitable for older toddlers. There are also tandems that have reclining seats that allow children to lie down or sit down depending on their mood and requirements.

Confortable

Whether you're a parent of twins or two siblings close in age, having the right double pushchair can make outings significantly simpler. There are a variety of comfy options on the market. There are many options for families, whether you're seeking a side by side model that can fit both a carrycot and a seat, or a tandem with a front and rear seat that can be interchanged.

In addition to buckles, straps, padded straps and headrests, search for seats that have multiple recline positions and adjustable Calf rests. Typically, these are operated with single-handed buttons accessible from the back of the seat (though in our testing this could be a little fiddly for parents with small hands). Some of the top double pushchairs also offer an extensive UPF 50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extender to shield your children from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

One of the best ways to save money is to invest in an adjustable pushchair that can be converted from single mode to double mode as your children develop. The egg2, for example, is a fashionable option that can be used from birth using the baby or toddler carrier and even comes with the RumbleSeat additional option for older siblings. Its reclining seats as well as its spacious comfortable carrycots are loved by testers at home who love the way it can grow with your family.

If you're looking for an affordable option that will last through toddlerhood and beyond the iCandy Venus is a great choice. It comes with a footmuff and seat, but can be converted into a twin-sized stroller by using the brand's new Cocoons (available at a price of just PS59). Our labs were impressed by how easy it is to switch between different configurations and found the directions clear and simple - though it may take some time to get it all out of the box.

Some double pushchairs only allow the children to be seated in a row and are usually world facing. However there are some notable exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which can be configured to be front and rear facing (though this can increase the overall width of the chassis). Kerb popping is generally more straightforward with a tandem, but the narrow doorways and shopping aisles can prove a challenge at times.
