When comparing double pushchairs, take into consideration the weight of each seat as well as the frame and suspension. The heavier the buggy is, the more difficult it will be to push. This is especially the case 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 more compact. Look for features such as a simple one-handed fold, that home tester Kirstie described as "genius" and a handy strap that you can wear over your shoulders.

Alternatively, you can opt for a tandem double pushchair that places children one behind the other. It's not as agile however it is a great option for many families. It might be better suited for older toddlers. You'll also find some tandems with reclining seats which allow children to lie down or sit down based on their mood and requirements.

Comfortable

A good double pushchair will simplify your travels, whether you have twins or two kids with similar ages. There are plenty of options for comfortable ones on the market. There are many options for families, no matter if you're looking for a side by side model that can hold the carrycot as well as an additional seat, or a tandem with an rear and front seat that can be interchanged.

Make sure you choose a seat with several recline positions as well as adjustable calfrests. These are often controlled by single-handed buttons that are located at the rear of the seat. (Though in our testing this could be a little difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the best double pushchairs also come with an enormous 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 buy a convertible pushchair which can change from single mode to double as your children grow. The egg2, as an example, is a fashionable option that can be used from birth with the included toddler or baby carrier and even comes with an RumbleSeat additional option for older siblings. Its reclining seats and large, comfy carrycots are particularly appreciated by testers at home who love how much it can grow with your family.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a budget option that can last from birth to toddlerhood, consider the iCandy Venus. It includes a seat as well as a footmuff, but can be combined with the brand's newborn cocoons (available separately at PS59 each) to turn it into an infant pram that can be used by twins or infants/toddlers. Our labs were impressed by the ease of being able to switch between the different configurations. They also found the instruction to be simple and clear however it might require some time to master.

Some double pushchairs allow you to seat your children side by side and are generally world-facing. However there are some notable exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Lightweight Double Pushchair Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up to be front and rear facing (though this will increase overall chassis width). Kerb popping is generally easier with a tandem but getting through narrow doors and aisles of shopping can be difficult at times.
