Double pushchairs come in two types: side-by-side and tandem. Side-by-side buggies have fixed seats that are positioned in a row, side-by-side. they can be suitable for twins or children of different age groups. However, they tend to be wider than single pushchairs and can be difficult to squeeze through some doors or narrow paths. They can also be heavy and long to push, particularly if the children in the car seats are in the front.

Tandem buggies are more flexible because they can be set up in many different ways. One or both seats can be oriented either way or backwards. They are more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs, however they are more convenient to fold and move. Many of them also have large shopping baskets that can be accessed even when the seats are fully reclined position.

Another important factor to consider is whether the double pushchair has a locking front wheel. This will make it easier to navigate tricky terrain and changes, while also ensuring that your children are safe and comfortable. Take a look at the storage space and see if it is accessible. This will be useful when you have to do lots of grocery shopping while having two children.

Examine how easy the buckles and straps are to operate when buying a double stroller and car seat.

They are also compact, which makes them ideal for urban living or parents with a limited storage space.

This makes them easier to maneuver through narrow doorways and walkways. They can be heavy and long, making them difficult to push up a hill, or on kerbs. Some models include an additional seat underneath the chassis, which is useful for shopping or older children who love to sit up and look around.

Tandem pushchairs are generally larger than side-by-side models, and can be quite long as well. They are extremely flexible and can be made to use with the majority of infant car seat. Some double buggy brands also offer a rumble-seat and bassinets for families growing. The top rated double buggy brands provide a huge range of designs, and some even have seats that are reversible, allowing you to alter the seating direction according to your needs.

Another thing to think about is the weight of your double buggy, especially if you're looking for one that can fit a newborn in the carrycot. The best smallest double buggy pushchairs have an ample capacity for both seats, and some will even allow you to add a third seat to the frame (although this isn't recommended for all infants).

To ensure your child is comfortable, look for features such as reversible seating, recline options, and adjustable legrests. Some of the best double pushchairs will also have an integrated tray for parents which is the perfect place to keep your mobile phone and keys. The majority of double pushchairs come with at minimum two cupholders as well as a large basket to store all your items.

Find double strollers that fold compactly. These are typically a little bigger than single buggies but they can fit through standard doors and take up less room in your car or in your boot. Some models come with a carrying bag to make storage simpler.

The UPPAbaby V2 Double is a great option. The stroller features a side-by seat layout and comes with a variety of seating options with two infant car seats (car seats and adapters sold separately), as well as the bassinet attachment. It also comes with a huge storage basket, rain and UPF 50 canopy, telescoping handlebar and comfortable seats. You can add a game to the cart, allowing an additional child to join in the fun.

There are many other options. Jeep's TwinRoo+ is an excellent option for outdoor enthusiasts as it can be used as an individual buggy or double buggy. It has great suspension and air-filled tyres. It can even be modified to running, which isn't always the case with double pushchairs. Some parents complain that the rumble seat's with padded backs aren't comfortable, and the cup holders on the child's seatback aren't sturdy enough.

The Joovy twin stroller side by side Xpand Car Seat Frame Double is another excellent option. It is similar in style to some of the more expensive award winners. It is compact and can accommodate both infant car seats as well as toddler seats that can be converted to bassinets. This makes it suitable for twins as well as children of different ages. It can even accommodate a third seat with an extra rumble seat (sold separately).

A budget pick is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, that is affordable and comparable in style to some of our top awards winners. It also has an additional seat that can be paired with a rumble seat (sold separately). It features reclined, adjustable chairs as well as a cup holder for the parent. It has a limited weight capacity of 50 pounds per seat, which means it is not suitable for very tall children.

Comfortable seats

A quality double pushchair with car seat will offer comfortable seats for your children. The seats should be cushioned and the harnesses are easy to use. The straps should be easily adjustable to height, and the buckles need not require two hands. They should be durable and sturdy enough to withstand repeated use. If the buckles are difficult to operate, they may be unsafe and need to be replaced. Seats should be able to recline easily and have a large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo window. The reclining feature is great for infants who prefer to sleep or older toddlers who prefer to sit up and look at the world around them.

Tandem buggies are typically made as a single stroller however, they have adapters that allow you to add another seat. They generally have a narrower footprint than side-by-side strollers, however they could be too wide for certain doorways. These buggies are also heavy and difficult to maneuver between kerbs.

On the other hand side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than tandem models. They are simpler for twins to move and can accommodate older siblings. However, they are more expensive and might not be able to fit through all doors. The double bundle from Joovy is a good illustration of a model that can have the seats facing each other, inwards or outwards. It can be used with infant car seats and comes with a bassinet, too.

The majority of the models that we tested only required only one step to attach and remove the car seat from its frame. This is a huge benefit for parents who are constantly on the on the go and don't want to juggle multiple steps. Some models, such as the Doona and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, have a two-step attachment that involves placing the attachment in place and then attaching straps. This extra step increases the chance of the car seat being fitted incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch or shoulder straps, and a few buckles for car seats are difficult to operate.
