Size

If you're purchasing a double pushchair right from the start, it's important to keep in mind that they are generally larger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that the buggy is able to fit through the doorways of your home and is able to easily maneuver across kerbs and stairs.

This stylish and affordable buggy comes with the added bonus of being able to take an infant car seat, so it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with additional accessories, like fleecy liners to ensure that your baby stays warm and cozy in their cocoons.

Another great option for expanding families is the Egg2. This sleek pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents.

Style

Double buggies tend to be larger and heavier. If you are planning to buy one that you will use for several years take this into consideration. However, they do provide more storage space, usually with a bigger shopping basket. They typically also come with a parent-facing seat with an extendable sunshade as well as a the peekaboo window, aswell as seats that recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable leg and foot rest, which helps with any discomfort caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

The most popular double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems place the children in a row, which gives them both the same view. It can also aid in avoiding sibling fights over who gets to sit where. However, they're still not 100% secure, and children are able to punch or kick each other while riding. The side-by-side model is more conventional, with two fixed seats positioned on a single stroller frame. They don't offer as many configurations and are generally recommended for infants who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't require the back support of a car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are seeking a light, double Buggy with carrycot from birth. This innovative model can be transformed from mono to twin by expanding in width.

Another option that is a good value is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Similar to the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that is able to be configured to fit your family. It takes only one infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third passenger (though it limits the use to twins). The seat reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best handling among double buggies. Testers noted that it was easy to move through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are both suitable for children. In addition, the UPF 50+ canopies are large enough to provide shade, and also have an adorable peekaboo feature. Our testers also appreciated that the seat reclines at various angles. The only downside to this model is that it's not quite as compact as other models. However our lab experts reported that it could be opened and closed with ease.

Double buggies weigh more, are bulkier, and more expensive, but they're an excellent investment for families who have two children of the same age (generally younger than 4). Select a brand that can last for a long time and keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally one-person pushchairs, but they come with adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others - such as this one from Leclerc can be changed to a side-byside configuration when your children are ready to do so.

While a side-byside is typically wider than other types of double buggy it is able to maneuver up and down kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable to prevent sibling rivalries; kids in the same seat can punch or kick each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-byside model for older children and is less susceptible to sibling squabbles, as your children aren't directly facing each one another. It's important to note that some children may feel isolated or lonely in a front-facing tandem, because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.
