Whether you're having twins or two children close in age, a best double buggy pushchair gives the flexibility you need for your growing family. Choose from side-by-side configurations or tandem models like the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 that's narrow enough to fit through doors that are standard.

Many models can be used with a baby car seats and come with reclining seats. Some even convert to single mode, like with the egg2 Pushchair that's appreciated for its style and versatility.

Side by Side

The side-by-side buggy is an ideal option for families with twins or siblings of various age groups. These typically offer 2 fixed seats with a single canopy and they're usually wider than an inline buggy to give both children the same view. They are simple to maneuver and even come with front and back suspension for better handling when crossing kerbs or bumps.

They can be more expensive than other double buggies however they offer a higher resale price, especially when they're a popular brand. These buggies are also great for jogging and can take on any terrain. The seats offer plenty of room for your kids to sit comfortably. You can find these buggies in a variety of designs and colours to complement your family's style.

Some models come with additional accessories that can help keep your baby comfortable. These can include head supports, and baby blankets. Some may include pockets for storing toys and snacks. Parents can also find a buggy with an adult console to keep important items in one place.

The popular buggy's 2023 model features a fresh look, a larger sun canopy, and fresh logos. It's a stylish option for parents who are conscious of their image and is compatible with iCandy child car seats. It's also simple to put together, although Kerry found it did take some time to take all of the parts out of the boxes. The packaging was well-labeled and smart and made it easy to identify what each piece would look similar to.

It's heavier than other double buggies, but still quite light for an inline model. It's also incredibly versatile, and you can use it with two or one infant car seats. It can be converted from a single car seat to a tandem with just a single click.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is another top choice for double strollers, and it's perfect for busy parents. It's incredibly maneuverable in tight spaces and can tackle difficult terrain with ease. It also comes with a large shopping basket, an independent recline for both seats, and a cushioned 5-point harness to keep your kids secure.

Tandem

The innovative frame of this pushchair can be expanded width-wise, allowing you to add an additional seat without compromising on space. It's a great option for twins from birth and can accommodate 2 car seats or carrycots also and is a great travel system for road trips. It's a bit heavier and longer than some of its rivals, but it offers a lot of storage space including an enormous shopping basket. The iCandy Peach is a favourite for parents who are conscious of their image and has an incredibly sleek, stylish design. Its reclining main seat also moves into four different positions, and it'll expand with your child's weight up to 25kg. The addition of a second seat is easy with the quick-release Velcro fasteners, and this model can be used in tandem mode, with one child on the other. It's an excellent option if you have sleepy newborns who you don't want to disrupt their sleep.

This configuration places the seats one in front of another which makes it difficult for toddlers and their parents to be distracted while out and about. This type of pushchair has an upholstered seat that can recline completely, making it suitable for babies. Some models have a higher, more upright seat in the back for older children. It's often possible to configure them to face one another or to face the world, depending on the style of the buggy. It's easier to get through narrow doorways with a tandem pushchair but it can be hard to nip up kerbs and stairs with two kids with you.

This versatile pushchair is an excellent choice for families with children who have special needs. It's a great solution for disabled kids who can benefit from having a younger sibling to play with and encourage. It's not expensive, but it's made to last. There's also plenty of storage for all your needs. It comes with a range of accessories that will allow you to customize the buggy to meet your family's requirements for example, rain covers or liner.

Lightweight

The best double strollers that are lightweight are small, easy to maneuver and agile. They're usually made of a sturdy aluminum frame, and some come with air-filled wheels that allow them to move over rough surfaces. They may also feature a one-handed fold and handy shoulder straps that make them more convenient to carry. You can also consider adding accessories such as a foot muff, a rain cover or a sunshade.

If you're after a lightweight double buggy that has a reasonable price, then the Cybex Mios is worth considering. It is both a full-functioning travel system and a lightweight buggy, and can be used starting at birth with the use of a carrycot. It has the side-by-side design and both seats recline separately. This offers the perfect position for infants and toddlers. It comes with a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and a toddler seat that's fully padded and adjustable.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another top contender. It can be used to carry twins or a baby as well as a toddler, and is compatible with a range of car seats. It's a stylish and sleek frame, with large wheels on the back to handle rough terrain. It's also great for jogging. It's a bit long when used in double mode, though there's no storage space under the seat.

When comparing different double pushchairs, think about the weight of each seat, frame and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is, the more difficult to push, particularly over uneven surfaces. Then check the folding dimensions and whether or not you can remove the seats, which makes it smaller. Look for features like an easy one-handed fold which home tester Kirstie described as "genius" and a convenient strap that you can sling over your shoulders.

You can also opt for a tandem double pushchair, which places children behind each other. It's not as maneuverable, but still an ideal choice for many families. It may be better suited to older toddlers. There are tandems with reclining seats, which give children the flexibility to lie down or sit down based on their moods and needs.

Confortable

The right double pushchair can make your outings easier regardless of whether you have twins or two kids of similar ages. There are a variety of comfortable options available on the market. There are many options for families, no matter if you're looking for a side by side model that can fit the carrycot as well as seats, or a tandem with a front and rear seat that can be interchanged.

Make sure you choose a seat with various reclining positions and adjustable calfrests. These are typically controlled by single-handed buttons that are located at the rear of the seat. (Though in our testing it can be fiddly for small-handed parents). Some of the top double pushchairs also offer a large UPF 50+ sun canopy that has magnetic peekaboo windows as well as a handy hood extender to shield your children from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

A great way to save money is to purchase a convertible pushchair which can change from single mode to double as your children grow. The egg2, for example is a fashionable option that can be used with the toddler seat that comes with it or a baby carrier from birth. It can even include a second RumbleSeat for older siblings. The reclining seats and spacious carrycots were adored by test subjects at home who loved the possibility of it growing with your family.

If you're looking for an affordable option that will last to toddlerhood and beyond the iCandy Venus is a great choice. It comes with a footmuff and seat, but it can also be converted into a twin buggy-sized pram by using the brand's newborn Cocoons (available at PS59 per piece). Our labs loved how easy it is to switch between different configurations and found the instructions to be clear and simple - though it takes some practice to get it all out of the box.

Some double pushchairs allow you to seat your children in a row and are generally oriented towards the world. However, there are a few notable exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which can be configured both for front and parent facing (though this will increase overall width of the chassis). Kerb popping is usually more straightforward with a tandem, but the narrow doorways and shopping aisles can prove difficult at times.
