Double pushchairs are great for families with twins or children with similar ages. Select from tandem models or side-byside configurations such as the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is narrow enough to fit standard doors.

Many models also come with recliners that can be laid flat and are compatible with infant car seats. Some models can be converted to single mode. The egg2 Pushchair is a popular choice because of its design and flexibility.

Side by Side

The side-by-side buggy is a popular option for families with twins or siblings of different age.

They're easy to navigate, and some come with front and rear suspensions to allow for better handling over bumps or over the kerb when turning.

They may cost more than other double buggies, but they offer a higher selling price, particularly if they are a popular brand. These buggies are also great for jogging and can take on any terrain.

When comparing double pushchairs, think about the weight of each seat, frame and suspension. The heavier the buggy heavier, the more difficult it will be to push. This is especially in the case of uneven surfaces. Check the dimensions of the folding and whether or not you can remove the seats, making it smaller. Check for features like a simple one-handed fold that home tester Kirstie described as "genius" and a convenient strap to sling over your shoulders.

You can also opt for a tandem double pushchair, which sits children behind each other. It is not as maneuverable however, it's still a great option for many families. It could be better suited for older toddlers. There are also tandems that have reclining seats which give children the flexibility to sit up or lie down based on their moods and needs.

Some of the top double pushchairs also offer an extensive UPF 50+ sun canopy with windows that are magnetic and an easy-to-use hood extender that can protect your children from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

Some double pram buggy pushchairs will only allow you to put your children side-by-side. They are generally oriented towards the world however there are a few exceptions, such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet that can be configured for both front and parent facing seating (though this can result in an increase in the overall width of the chassis). Kerb popping is usually more straightforward with a tandem, but getting through doorways and narrow shopping aisles can prove an issue at times.
