There are many things to think about when choosing a double buggy. First, make sure it will fit through your doorway and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is an exciting possibility, but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. Adding another child to the family means redesigning living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, purchasing a new double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or require something smaller there are plenty of excellent options out there. Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that competitors cost extra for. It folds very neatly into place to take up a small amount of space in your boot. It is easy to move and it rolls well, as per the test subjects. It may feel a little long when used in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are great to keep your kids together but they tend to be bigger than a single buggy, which can make them difficult to navigate through kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width, is the slimmest on the market. It is easy to get through doors and into public transportation. It is compatible with a variety of car seats and can expand with your family. You can use it as mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to be seated together.

The adjustable height handle is great for steering and the suspension makes light work of rough surfaces. It's a great option for older kids, since it has a seat elevated to give them a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight than other models, but it's still a great option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's important to choose a model that feels at ease to push. Choose a handle that has padding and a grip shaped to your height. Also, a large basket with many compartments and pockets. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth checking how easily it folds and can be stored.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some incredible new double buggy with car seat buggies that make traveling with two children much simpler. The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose model that can be used to accommodate twins or one baby and a toddler with both seats/carrycots facing either in the direction of forward or reverse. It can also accommodate a third kid using piggyback' boards (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light frame with swivel wheels and suspension make it easy to move around town and on rougher terrain.

Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a small footprint so they're easy to slide through doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with the seats still attached. They require more effort to push them over kerbs and can be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem, but can also be used as a single buggy due to its clever frame that expands widthways. It also has a height-adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you are planning to use public transportation frequently you might want to consider a double pram stroller-buggy with large wheels. They are more for rough or uneven surfaces. Find out how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, and also the length of the buggy folded to determine if it can fit in your car. If you live in a small town or village with narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy in which the child sits behind the other, instead of directly in front of them, since this will make it easier to navigate narrow spaces.

A lot of the top double buggies can accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, car seats and seats. This makes them a great option for families with twins or siblings that are close in age, but it's worth checking the specs of any model you're considering to make sure it's suitable for your needs.

There are two kinds of double buggy - twin buggy from birth that is where your children sit together, or tandem, where one seat is in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main advantage that children can play together, rather than fighting over who should sit in front. However, twin buggy tend to be larger and can be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly shorter however, they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable and may require dismantling to fit into the car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a common feature on the majority of double buggies. So, ensure that your model will let you adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the best. Make sure you check the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline each seat is able to achieve. Also, check if the seats can be adjusted independently so that you can adjust them to your child's growth. Be sure to check the weight limits and whether both come with a sun canopy or an hood to protect them from wind and rain.
