Double pushchairs are ideal for families with twins, or infants and toddlers. Double pushchairs can seat two children in one seat, and a carrycot can be added if necessary.

They can be arranged in a variety of ways and can fit through the majority of hallways and doors. They're a bit bigger than side by side buggies, but they're more robust and can be used on kerbs.

There are two types of double pushchairs: tandem as well as side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies have fixed seats that sit side-by-side, and they are suitable for twins or children of different ages. However they are generally wider than single pushchairs and might be difficult to fit through some doors or narrow paths. In addition, they can be a bit long and heavy to push, especially when children are in car seats at the front.

Tandem buggies are usually more versatile as they offer various seating options and options, such as the possibility to have either of the seats facing either in the direction of forward or backwards. They're more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs, however they are more convenient to fold and move. Many of them have an enormous basket that can be accessed even when the seats are reclined fully.

Another important factor to consider is whether the double pushchair is equipped with a front wheel that is locked. This will allow you to traverse difficult terrains and transitions while also keeping your children secure and comfortable. You should also consider the amount of storage space that is available and if it is easily accessible, as this will be very useful when you have lots of shopping to complete with two kids.

Check how the buckles and straps are to operate when purchasing a double stroller that comes with a car seat. Some buckles are simple and only require one hand for operation, while others can be more complicated and require two hands. Find out if it comes with a padded strap for the crotch and an adjustable shoulder height. These features are vital for keeping your child safe.

Folding is simple

It is important to consider how easy it is to fold and store a double pushchair that includes a car seat. The best lightweight double stroller double strollers are quick and easy to collapse, even with one child in each. They are also compact, making them ideal for city living or parents who have limited storage.

There are two kinds of double pushchairs - tandem and side-by-side. Side-by-side strollers are usually smaller than single strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver through narrow doors and walkways. They can be heavy and long, which makes them difficult to push up a hill, or on the kerbs. Some models include a second seat under the chassis, which can be ideal for shopping or older children who love to sit and take a look around.

Tandem pushchairs can be wider and longer than side-by-side models. They are extremely adaptable and can be adapted for use with the majority of infant car seat. Certain double buggy brands offer a rumble-seat and bassinets for families growing. Some of the best-rated double buggy brands have a wide range of configurations.

The weight of the double buggy is also crucial, particularly if it's going to be used by a baby in a carrycot. Some of the top double strollers have a large capacity for both seats, and some let you add a second hand double buggy seat to the frame.

Check for features such as recline options, reversible seats and adjustable leg rests to ensure your children are comfortable. Some of the best double strollers will have a parent tray built in, which is a great spot to store your keys or phone. They'll typically have at least two cup holders, and a spacious basket to stash all your items. There are models that have suspension and a foot break, which can make pushing the twins much easier, especially on uneven terrain.

Easy to store

Choose a double stroller that folds in a compact manner. They're typically a little wider than single to double stroller buggies, but they can fit through standard doorways and take up less room in your car or in your boot. Some models even include a carry bag to make storage much easier.

The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an excellent alternative. The stroller has the side-by-side seating layout, with a variety of seating options including two infant car seats. (Car seats and adapters are available separately) and bassinet. It also comes with a large storage basket, rain and UPF 50 canopies, telescoping handlebar, and comfortable seats.

There are plenty of other options to consider too. Jeep's TwinRoo+ is an excellent option for outdoor enthusiasts as it can be used as an individual buggy or as a double buggy. It comes with air-filled tires and a great suspension. It can also be used for jogging. However, some parents find that the padded back isn't very supportive and that the cup holders for the child's seatback aren't sturdy enough.

Another excellent choice is another option is the Joovy Twin Xpand Car Seat Frame Double, which is similar in design to some of our more expensive award winners. It is small and can be used to accommodate infant car seats as well as toddler car seats that can be converted to bassinets. This makes it perfect for twins and kids of different ages. It can even hold an additional seat by adding an additional rumble seat (sold separately).

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an affordable option that is like our award winners. It also has a third seat that can be paired with a rumble-seat (sold separately). It features adjustable, reclining chairs and a cup holder for the parent. It only has a weight limit of 50 lbs per seat. This means it is not suitable for tall children.

Comfortable seats

A quality double pushchair with car seat will provide comfortable seats for your children. The seats should be padded and the harnesses must be easy to use. The straps must be easy to adjust to height, and the buckles should not require two hands to fasten. They must be durable and strong enough to withstand repeated use. If the buckles are difficult to operate, it may be unsafe. They should be replaced. Seats should be able recline easily, and come with a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window. The reclining feature is great for babies who need to sleep or older toddlers who like to sit up and observe the world around them.

Tandem buggies typically start as a single buggy and have adapters to add an additional seat or car seat to the frame. They generally have a narrower footprint than side-by-side strollers, however, they might be too big for certain doorways. These buggies can also be extremely heavy, and are generally difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Side-by-side buggies, on other hand are usually smaller than tandem models. They are less difficult to navigate and can accommodate older twins. However, they are more expensive and might not fit through all doors. The double bundle from Joovy is a great example of a design that can have the seats facing one another either inwards or outwards. It can be used with car seats for infants and comes with a bassinet, too.

Most of the models we tested had a single step procedure for attaching and detaching the car seat from the frame. This is a major plus for parents who are constantly on the on the go and don't want to play around with multiple steps. Certain models, such as the Doona or the BOB Revo Flex 3.0 Combo, have two-step attachments, which involves clicking into place and securing the. This extra step increases the likelihood of the car seat being installed incorrectly. We also found that some strollers were having difficulty adjusting the crotch strap and shoulder height, and buckles on the car seat were at times difficult to operate.
