Choosing a Double Pushchair

A double pushchair offers parents the option of taking their children side-by-side or together. This is ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age.

Be aware of your family's budget as well as needs when choosing a double stroller. Double buggies range from light to all-terrain models, with many designs and configurations.

Size

A double pushchair is an important purchase and the size of your family will play a significant part in the decision-making process. However, there are plenty of options on the market that are compact and lightweight when space is a problem.

We suggest you take measurements of the entrances, aisles and public spaces where you plan to use the pushchair. You can buy a cardboard cutout of the new childs pram to see how it will fit in these spaces prior to making the final decision.

You should also consider the location you intend to put the pushchair in storage, as it may not be convenient to store it in the car's boot for prolonged periods. If you intend to travel with public transport, it's crucial that the double stroller folds up into a compact size. It is also essential to be able to get on and off trains, buses and trolleys.

Double pushchairs and strollers are designed to carry two children side-by-side and the majority are world-facing (with the exception of the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo and the Mountain Buggy Duet). There are a few models available where one or both seats can be reversed to face you (eg. the Babyzen YOYO+ Twin) however, they are usually reserved for families who have twins or extremely close siblings.

Many of the top-rated double pushchairs travel systems can be used with different Infant carriages car seat and toddler seats.

The fashionable and practical side-by-side double pushchairs like the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo offer sleek design and are suitable for infants from birth to toddlers. They can be used with two carrycots, and come in a variety of configurations including the option to connect an infant carrier that is only one. This makes them a great choice for families with twins or infants who are very close.

Style

It's important to think about how your children will fit in a double stroller. This will depend on their height, age, and needs as well as to think about the design of the pushchair as well as its ease of use. It is worth reading user reviews to get a feel for what people think of and dislike about the products they've purchased.

There are two main types of double strollers that you can pick from. The majority of side-by-side strollers have children facing the world (although some models, like the Bugaboo Donkey or babiie Pram Mountain Buggy Duet, allow the user to switch this). Tandem pushchairs are more upright and feature one child in the back and another one in front. They're not as compact and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads however they're a great choice for older toddlers as they can sit up and look around them.

For families looking for an easy-going, lightweight and cost-effective double pushchair newborn, the Cybex Aton 2 is a excellent choice. It can seat children close to each other, so they can talk and sit or play together and it has room for two car seats, if you need them.

The seat and the carrycot feature five-point harnesses and adjustable leg and feet rests. The UPF 50+ canopy can be extended to provide real shade, and also has an option to peek inside to let kids take in the view while they are on the go. The frame isn't designed for rough terrain, but it copes well with urban streets and shopping aisles.

It's easy to fold up and set up and also comes with a storage basket beneath the seats. It's more expensive than some of the lighter double buggies but it has numerous configurations that can meet different needs and is a good option for older toddlers. For older children who are more mobile, you can include an exercise board to provide them with additional stability when they stand up. It can even convert into a single-buggy by replacing one of the seats with a side-basket if you don't need both children to ride in it for any length of time.

Budget

A double pushchair is a great investment for parents to be as well as parents of two children. While they're more expensive than single strollers, you can purchase an excellent quality model that will last for many years. Before making a purchase, consider your family's priorities and needs. Consider things like the age of your children, the terrain you will be navigating, your lifestyle and other features that are essential to you.

If your children were born within a very short period, you might prefer a side-by-side style so that the smaller child can be seated next to the older one to provide comfort and bonding. If you reside in a city and plan to use public transportation often, you might require a compact, lightweight double buggy. It should be easy to fold and can be tucked away into elevators and narrow doors.

A tandem pushchair lets your older child (or twins) to sit behind the younger one. Certain models let you choose whether your children face each other or the world, allowing them to explore their surroundings independently. Tandems can be a little more cumbersome to steer and can be difficult to get to and from kerbs, but they are much easier to fit into narrow doors and aisles.

Some models are designed to provide flexibility and can be converted to a single stroller if you don't need the second seat. Both the UPPAbaby V2 Double and Joovy Graphite Caboose Ultralight are examples.

It is also important to consider the amount of space you will need to store things. Some double pushchairs feature large undercarriage baskets, whereas others have smaller pockets of storage or have no storage at all. If you intend to use your double pushchair for frequent shopping or for long distance walking travelling, you may want to choose one that has a spacious storage area.

Safety along with convenience and ease of cleaning are also important. You'll want a pushchair that has easy-to-clean fabric and wheels that can be washed in the machine. Make sure that the buckles can be unfastened and fastened easily particularly by a child.

Test-driving

There are many things to consider when selecting a double buggy, like the weight, fold size wheels, wheel type and folding mechanism. Make sure you choose a brand with a good reputation, since this will increase the resale value when you are ready to move.

Side-by-side doubles are smaller when folded, and have a bit more ease of moving up and down kerbs than tandem models. However, they may not fit through all doorways and could prove a problem for families with larger numbers.

The Cybex Xeon 3 has a elegant, lightweight design that works just as well when two children are in the seat as it does when only one child is. It also has the option to use the seat in a single-mode with a shopping basket beside it, a great solution for parents who have limited storage space. Our test-driver at home Sophie found it easy to steer even with two children in the seats. She also loved the fact that you can fold it with the seat removed, which makes it much more compact.
