Side-by-Side

The Thule Urban Glide 2 double buggy for twins, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options.

Although they're lightweight off road double buggy pushchairs side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which seat. If they are at different heights, a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are better for children with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one parent cup holder and padding for the legs of little ones.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less luxurious than our other top-rated doubles however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's "genius". It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast.

As they're made with quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for years without showing any wear, which means they have a an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy was designed for families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children from different age groups, and as a triple tandem, it can be able to handle the rough terrain.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles and makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adapted to the changing requirements of the family. They often start out as single buggies, but come with adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) a car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This versatile tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with a large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats when in the parent-facing positions. It is a breeze to maneuver due to its low weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Its reversible seats mean that you can switch them around to face either direction, and the clever way that it attaches a second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many.
