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

If you have twins or two kids close in age, a double pushchair gives you the flexibility you require to accommodate your growing family. Select from tandem models or side-byside configurations such as the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is small enough to fit through standard doors.

Many models also have recliners that lie flat and are compatible with infant car seats. Some models can be changed to single mode. The egg2 Pushchair is a favorite for its style and flexibility.

Side by Side

The side-by-side buggy is an ideal option for families with twins or siblings of different age groups.

This clever frame can be expanded in width, allowing for a second seat to be added without compromising space. This is a great choice for twins as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots. It's also a great option for roadtrips.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another top contender. It can accommodate twins, or a baby and a toddler. It is compatible with many car seats.

The double mode makes it a little long, and there's no storage space underneath the seat.

When comparing double pushchairs, consider the weight of each seat, frame and suspension. The heavier the buggy, the harder it'll be to push, particularly over uneven surfaces. Be sure to look at the dimensions of the folding and if you can remove the seat to make it smaller. Check for features such as a one-handed folding system, which Kirstie who was a home tester at the time, described as "genius" or a strap that can be slung over your shoulder.

You can also choose a tandem double stroller which places the children one behind the other. It's not as agile however it is a great option for many families.

Thankfully, there's a wide choice of comfortable options available that are available. If you're looking for a side-by-side model that can accommodate a carrycot and seat or a tandem model with an adjustable rear and front seat, there's sure to be the perfect choice for your family.

Find seats with several recline positions and adjustable calfrests. These are typically controlled by one-handed buttons accessible from the rear of the seat. (Though in our testing this can be a bit fiddly for small-handed parents). Some of the best double pushchairs also come with an extensive UPF 50+ sun canopy, with magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extender to shield your children from harmful UV radiation.

Convertible Doubles

You can save money by investing in the pushchair that can convert from single mode to dual mode as your child grows. The egg2, for example, is a chic option that can be used from birth using the baby or toddler carrier and even comes with an RumbleSeat as an additional feature for older siblings. Its reclining seats and large, comfy carrycots are particularly appreciated by home testers, who love the way it can grow with your family.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that can last from birth to toddlerhood, try the iCandy Venus. It comes with a footmuff and seat, but it can also be converted into a twin-sized stroller by using the brand's newborn Cocoons (available at PS59 per piece). Our labs were impressed by the ease of being able to switch between different configurations. They also found the directions to be easy and simple, although it may require some time.

Some double pushchairs will only allow you to place with your children in a row and generally face the world however there are exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet that can be configured to allow both front and parent facing seating (though this can result in an increase in the overall size of the chassis). Tandems are usually easier to maneuver around kerbs, but it can be a struggle to navigate through narrow doors and aisles.
