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

Whether you're having twins or two children close in age, a double pushchair offers you the flexibility you need for your growing family. Select from tandem models or side-by-side configurations like the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is small enough to fit standard doorways.

Many models are compatible with infant car seat and have reclining seats. Some can even convert to single mode, as with the egg2 Pushchair that is appreciated for its style and versatility.

Side by Side

The side-by-side buggy is a classic option for families with twins or siblings of various age. They usually have two fixed seats with a single canopy, and are usually larger than an inline buggy to give each child the same view. They are simple to maneuver and even have front and back suspensions to help with going over bumps or kerbs.

They may cost more than other double buggies but they have a better resale price, especially when they're a popular brand. They're ideal for jogging and can tackle rough terrain, and the seats are spacious enough for your kids to sit comfortably. They are available in a wide range of designs and colours to fit your family's style.

Some models come with additional accessories to keep your baby comfortable. These may include head cushions, seat supports and baby blankets. Some of them may include pockets to store toys and snacks. Parents can get a buggy that has a console to keep important items close by.

The popular buggy's 2023 model features a new design with a larger sun canopy, and new logos. It's a stylish option for parents who are image-conscious and compatible with iCandy child car seats.

However, the packaging was well-labeled and efficient making it easier to understand what to expect out of each part.

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

It's a great option for sleepy babies who you don't want to disturb during their sleep.

This configuration places the seats one in front of another which makes it more difficult for toddlers and their parents to be distracted when they are out and about. This type of pushchair usually features a padded seat that is able to recline completely and is suitable for infants. A lot of models have an elevated and more upright seat for children who are older. In accordance with the model it is possible to position them to face eachother or the world.

Lightweight

The most lightweight smallest double buggy strollers are small, easy to maneuver and agile. Some models have air-filled tires to assist them in gliding over rough surfaces. They can also have an easy fold with one hand and shoulder straps to make them more convenient to carry. Consider adding extras like an ankle muff, a sunshade or rain cover.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double buggy with carrycot stroller that has low cost. It straddles two categories as it's a complete travel system and a light buggy, and is suitable starting at birth with the use of a carrycot. It features a side-byside design and both seats recline independently providing the ideal position for toddlers and infants. It has a generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, and the toddler seat is padded with adjustable foot and leg rests.

Another popular option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It can carry twins or a baby as well as a toddler, and it is compatible with a variety of car seats. It has a stylish and sleek frame that has large wheels at the back to handle rough terrain. It's also ideal for jogging. The double mode can make it a bit long, and there's no storage beneath the seat.

When comparing different double stroller with car seat pushchairs, think about the weight of the frame, seat and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is, the more difficult it will be to push, particularly over uneven surfaces. Check the folding dimensions, and then see if you can take off the seat to make it more compact. Look for features like a simple one-handed fold, which test-run tester Kirstie described as "genius" and a handy strap to sling over your shoulders.

You can also select a tandem double stroller (Read A great deal more) which puts the kids one behind the other. It's not as maneuverable as a side-by-side, but it's still a good option for families with multiple children, and may be more suitable for older toddlers. Some tandems have reclining seats that allow children to lie down or sit up according to their mood.

Comfortable

If you're a parent of twins or have two siblings close in age, having the perfect double pushchair will make outings significantly easier. There's a huge choice of comfortable options available on the market. There are plenty of options for families, whether you're seeking a side by side model that can hold both a carrycot and a seat or a tandem model with seats in the front and back that can be interchanged.

In addition to padded straps, buckles and headrests, search for seats with multiple recline positions and adjustable calf rests. Most of the time, they will be operated with one-handed buttons that are accessible from the back of the seat (though in our testing, this can prove difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the best double strollers come with a large UPF50+ sun canopy, magnetic peekaboo window and a handy hood extension to shield your child from harmful UV radiation.

Convertible Doubles

One way to save money is to purchase a convertible pushchair which can convert from single mode to double as your children grow. The egg2, for example, is a stylish option that can be used right from birth with the included baby or toddler carrier and also comes with an RumbleSeat second add-on for older siblings. Its reclining seats and spacious, comfy carrycots are particularly appreciated by testers at home who appreciate how it can expand with your family.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that can last into toddlerhood and beyond the iCandy Venus is a great choice. It comes with a seat and footmuff, but can be combined with the brand's newborn cocoons (available separately for just PS59 each) to make it a twin pram that is suitable for twins or babies/toddlers. Our labs were impressed by the ease of use to switch between the different configurations. They also found the directions to be easy and simple however it might take some time.

Some double pushchairs will only allow you to put with your children in a row and are typically world facing however there are some exceptions like the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet which can be configured for both front and parent facing seating (though this can result in an increase in the overall dimensions of the chassis). Kerb popping is typically easier with a tandem but getting through narrow doors and aisles of shopping can be difficult at times.
