Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that other brands charge extra for and is very compact and folds up to take up little space in your boot. It is easy to move and it rolls well, according to testers. It can feel a bit long when used in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies work well to keep children in a single space however they can be a bit wider than a single stroller. This makes it difficult to move between kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width, is the tiniest available. It is easy to get through doors and onto public transportation. It's compatible with many car seats and can grow with your family. You can use it as a tandem or mono buggy when your children are old enough to be seated together.

The height-adjustable handle is great for steering and the suspension can take care of slick surfaces. It's a great choice for older kids, as the seat is elevated in stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as light as other models, however it's still a great choice.

It is essential to choose the right double buggy that is easy to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket with many compartments and pockets. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds and can be stored.

Easy to maneuver

There are some incredible new double buggies out there that make getting out and about with two children much easier. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can accommodate twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both seats/carrycots facing either backward or forward and even a third seat with the 'piggyback' board (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension makes it easy to maneuver around town and over rougher terrain.

Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a compact footprint so they're easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport and often you can put them away with the seats still in place. However, they do require some muscle to push them over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great choice as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single stroller thanks to its unique frame that expands widthways and an adjustable height handle, making it really easy to steer with just one hand.

If you plan to use public transport frequently, think about whether you're going to need a double buggy for twins buggy with big wheels as these tend to be more tolerant of uneven or rough surfaces. Find out how easy it will be to fold and unfold, as well as the width of the buggy folded to determine if it's going to fit in your car. If you reside in a tiny town or village and have narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other, instead of directly in front of them, since this will make it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Storage is readily available

Double buggies aren't required for every family, but they can make outings easier for those with infants and toddlers. If you're looking for a lightweight double pushchair model that's easy to maneuver look into the selection of double buggies that are side-by-side.

They're an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Some even permit you to convert the buggy into a running jogger, making them ideal for running and exercise.

A lot of the top double running buggy buggies can be used with various combinations of carrycots, car seats and seats. They are a great choice for families with twins or siblings of similar age. However, it is crucial to look up the specifications of the model you are interested in.

There are two kinds of double buggys that are tandem and twin. In tandem the seat is placed behind the other. A twin buggy has the main advantage that your children can play together, rather than fighting over who sits in front. Twin buggys can be wider and make it more difficult to maneuver through doorways and aisles at the grocery store.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly shorter than single buggies, however they are still longer. They are also less stable and may require dismantling to fit into your car's boot. Recline-based seats are nowadays a standard feature on the majority of double infant stroller buggies, so ensure that your model will let you adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the best travel double stroller. Examine the padding of the straps and the amount of recline each seat can achieve. Also, make sure that the seats can be adjusted separately so you can adapt to your child's needs. Check the weight limit and whether they both have a hood or sun canopy to shield from wind and rain.

Consider a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are ideal for toddlers who want to walk, but still require an extra ride. They're also perfect for infants and newborns. Some carriers can also be used with a car seat for children, giving you more flexibility.

Some parents feel that a side by side double buggy is the best option. However there are a few innovative models available, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the lightest double buggy side by side available on the market.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another good option. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It starts out as a single pushchair, but you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame with adaptors, which gives you an array of seating arrangements. It's smooth to steer, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were impressed by how easy it was to fold. You just pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the entire thing collapses in half in just a few seconds.

Buying a double buggy is an investment, however, you'll be able to keep it for a long time and also enjoy a decent resale value. When comparing prices, it's important to remember that buying a name brand model can allow you to purchase additional accessories and upgrades later on.
