Buying a Double Pushchair For Twins Or Two Siblings Close in Age?

double to single buggy pushchairs are great for families with twins or children of similar ages. Select from tandem models or side-by-side designs like the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is narrow enough to fit through standard doors.

Many models can be used with a baby car seat and have reclined seats. Some even convert to single mode, such as with the egg2 Pushchair that's loved for its design and versatility.

Side by Side

Side-by-side is the most popular choice for families with twins, or siblings of different age. They usually have 2 fixed seats and one canopy. They're also a bit more spacious than inline buggy models to let both children be able to see the same thing. They're easy to maneuver, and some have front and rear suspensions for better handling over bumps or over kerbs when turning.

They can cost more than other double buggies however they offer a higher cost of resales, especially when they're a well-known brand. They're ideal for jogging, and can handle rough terrain. The seats are spacious enough for your children to comfortably sit. These buggies come in a range of colors and styles to fit your family's tastes.

Certain models come with extra accessories that will help to keep your baby snug. These can include baby blankets and seats, liners, and head supports. They could also come with pockets for storing snacks and toys. Parents can even get a buggy with a console for parents to keep essentials handy.

The popular buggy's 2023 model has a new look with a larger sun canopy, and fresh logos. It's a stylish choice for parents who are conscious of their image and is compatible with iCandy car seats. It's easy to put together although Kerry found that it took a while to take the components out of their boxes. The packaging was well-labeled and efficient which made it easy to understand what to expect from each component.

It's heavier than other double buggies, however, it's still light for an inline model. It is also very versatile and can be used with either one or two infant car seats. It can even change from a single to a tandem in one click, which is a big benefit for families that are growing.

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic double stroller for parents who are busy. It's easy to maneuver and can cope with rough terrain. It also comes with a large shopping basket, an independent recline for both seats, and a cushioned 5-point harness to keep your children secure.

Tandem

The clever frame of this pushchair expands widthways and allows you to add another seat without compromising on space. It's a great choice for twins from birth, and will take two car seats or carrycots as well which makes it a great travel system for road trips. It's a bit heavier and longer than a few of its competitors, but it offers a lot of storage space including a large shopping basket. The iCandy Peach is a favourite among image-conscious parents and boasts an extremely stylish, sleek design. The reclining seat moves into four different positions, and will expand with your child's weight up to 25kg. The quick-release Velcro fasteners make it simple to add a second seat. This model can be used in tandem mode, with one child on the top of another. This is an excellent option if you want to avoid disturbing your newborn baby.

The seats are placed one in front of another which makes it difficult for toddlers and their parents to get distracted while they're out and about. This type of pushchair typically comes with a cushioned main seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns. Some models have a taller and more upright seat in the back for older children. It's often possible to configure them to be facing one another or to face the world depending on the design of the buggy. It's much easier to maneuver through narrow doors with a tandem pushchair however it can be a challenge to navigate kerbs or stairs with two kids in the back.

This multi-purpose pushchair is an excellent choice for families with special needs children. It's a great option for disabled kids who can benefit from having a younger sibling that they can play and encourage. It's not expensive, but it's made to last. There's plenty of storage space to meet your requirements. It comes with a range of accessories that will allow you to customize the twin buggy from birth according to your family's requirements for example, rain covers or liners.

Lightweight

The best lightweight double strollers are small, easy to maneuver and nimble. Some have air-filled tires to assist them in gliding over rough surfaces. They also come with a one-handed fold and handy shoulder straps that make them easier to carry. Consider adding extras like a foot muff, a rain cover or a sunshade.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double stroller that has low cost. It straddles two categories as it's a complete travel system and a lightweight buggy, and can be used from birth, with the addition of the carrycot. It features a side-byside design and both seats recline independently making it a perfect position for toddlers and infants. It features a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and a toddler seat that is fully cushioned and adjustable.

Another top contender is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It can carry twins, or a baby and a toddler, and it is compatible with a variety of car seats. It's an elegant and sleek frame that has large wheels on the back to handle rough terrain. It's also great for jogging. The double mode could make it a bit long, and there is no storage beneath the seat.

When comparing different double pushchair from birth pushchairs, consider the weight of the frame, seat and suspension. The heavier the buggy, the harder it'll be to push, particularly on uneven surfaces. Make sure to check the dimensions of the folding, and see if it's possible to remove the seat to make it smaller. Look for features like an easy one-handed fold which test-run tester Kirstie described as "genius" and a handy strap that you can sling over your shoulders.

You can also choose a tandem double pushchair that places children in a row behind one another. It's not as maneuverable as a side-byside, but it's still a great option for many families and could be more suitable for older toddlers. There are also tandems that have reclining seats which allow children to sit up or lie down depending on their moods and needs.

Comfortable

Whether you're a parent of twins or two kids close in age, having the right double pushchair will make outings a whole lot simpler. There are many comfortable options available on the market. Whether you want to buy a side-byside model that can accommodate a carrycot and seat or a tandem model with an interchangeable front and rear seat, there's sure to be a suitable option for your family.

Look for seats that have various reclining positions, as well as adjustable calfrests. Often, these will be controlled via easy-to-use one-handed buttons accessible from the back of the seat (though in our tests this could be a little fiddly for parents with small hands). Some of the top double strollers also have a large UPF50+ sun canopy, a magnetic peekaboo window and a handy hood extension that shields your child from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

One way to save money is to purchase a convertible pushchair which can convert from single mode to double mode as your children develop. The egg2, for example, is a stylish option that can be used from birth with the included baby or toddler carrier and even comes with a RumbleSeat second add-on for older siblings. Its reclining seats as well as its spacious comfortable carrycots are well-received by home testers, who love how much it can expand with your family.

On the other the other hand, if you're searching for a low-cost option that will last from birth until toddlerhood, check out the iCandy Venus. It includes a seat and footmuff, but can also be used with the brand's newborn cocoons (available separately at PS59 each) to make it a twin buggy from birth pram suitable for twins or infants/toddlers. Our labs were impressed by the ease of use to switch between configurations. They also found the instruction to be simple and clear however it could take some time to master.

Some double pushchairs allow the children to be seated in a row and are usually world facing. However there are some notable exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which can be configured with both front and parent facing (though this can increase the overall width of the chassis). Tandems are usually easier to maneuver over kerbs, however they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow aisles and doorways.
