Why We Enjoy Double Pushchair (And You Should Too!)
Choosing a Double Pushchair

Double pushchairs allow parents to transport their children side-byside or in tandem. This is ideal for twins or siblings who are similar in age.

Take into consideration 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 a major investment and the size of your family will play an important factor in the selection process. There are a variety of options that are lightweight and compact available for those with limited space.

We recommend that you measure the aisles and doors in your home, as well as any public areas where you expect to use the pushchair. You can purchase a cardboard cutout of your new pram to see how it will fit into these spaces before making your final decision.

You must also think about where you'll store the pushchair, as it may not always be convenient to store it in your car's trunk for extended periods. If twin pushchair pushchairsandprams plan to travel with public transport, it's important that the double stroller folds into a small size. It should also be easy to get on and off buses, trains and trolleys.

The majority of double strollers and pushchairs were designed to carry 2 children side-by-side. (The Bugaboo Donkey 5 and Mountain Buggy Duet are exceptions). There are a few models where one or both seats can be reversed to face you (eg. The Babyzen YOYO+ twin is a popular choice for families with twins or close siblings.

A lot of the top double pushchairs can be customized to work with various infant car seats and toddler seats. For instance, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is compatible with two car seats, and comes with the ability to reversibly seat so that a child can sit in front of their sibling or look out to explore the world around them.

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo is a stylish and practical double pushchair that has a streamlined look and is suitable for children of all age groups. They can be used with two soft carrycots and have a range of configurations that include the ability to attach an infant carrier with a single strap. This makes them a great choice for families with twins or infants who are close.

Style

When selecting a double pushchair it is crucial to consider how your children are likely to fit into them. It is important to think about their age, height and needs. But you also need to think about the design and the ease of use. You should read the reviews of the products to get a sense of what people's opinions are.

There are two primary types of double strollers to choose from. The majority of strollers with side-byside seating have children facing the world (although some models, like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet allow the user to switch this). Tandem pushchairs are more upright and include one child in the back, and another on the front. They're not as compact and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads, but they're a good choice for older toddlers as they can sit and observe the world around them.

For families looking for an easy-going, lightweight and affordable double pushchair then the Cybex Aton 2 is a good choice. It allows children to sit together and play or talk. There is also room for a second car seats if required.

The seat and the carrycot are cushioned and comfortable, with five-point harnesses, crotch pads, and adjustable foot and leg rests. The UPF 50+ canopy is extendable to provide shade and also has an option to peek inside to let kids enjoy the view while they're on the move. The frame isn't designed for a rough terrain, but it can withstand urban streets and shopping aisles.

It's easy to fold and put together and it also has an storage basket underneath the seats. It's more expensive than some of the lighter double buggies, but it offers numerous configurations that can meet different requirements and is a great option for older toddlers. It can be fitted with a running board for mobile older kids to give them extra stability when they're standing up. You can convert it into one single buggy when you no longer require to carry both children.

Budget

If you're expecting a baby or have two young children, a double pushchair could be a great investment. They're more expensive, but a high-quality double stroller is durable for several years. So, before you buy, evaluate your family's needs and priorities taking into consideration factors like the age of your children, terrain you plan to navigate, lifestyle and features that hold the highest importance to you.

If your children were born within a short time span, you may prefer a side by side style to ensure that the child who is younger can be seated next to the older one to provide comfort and bonding. If you reside in a city and intend to take public transportation often, you might want a lightweight, compact double buggy. It should be easy to fold and fit in elevators and narrow doors.

A tandem pushchair is ideal for twins or babies who were born closer together, as it lets your older child be seated behind the younger one. Some models also provide the option to facing each other or world facing so your children can explore their surroundings independently of each other. Tandems can be slightly more difficult to steer and can be difficult to maneuver to and from kerbs, but they are more easily tucked into narrow doors and aisles.

Certain models are designed for flexibility and can be changed back to a single stroller if you don't need the second seat. Both the UPPAbaby v2 Double and Joovy graphite Caboose Ultralight are examples.

Another thing to think about is the amount of storage space you will require. Some double pushchairs feature a spacious undercarriage basket while others have smaller pockets of storage or have no storage at all. If you plan to use your double pushchair for frequent shopping or for long distance walking traveling, you may want to choose a model that has a spacious storage area.


Other important factors include safety, convenience and the ease of cleaning. You'll want a pushchair with a fabric that is easy to clean and wheels that can be washed by machine. Check that the buckles can be unfastened and fastened easily particularly by children.

Test-driving

When choosing a double buggy there are a variety of aspects to take into consideration, including the weight, fold size and type of wheels. Be sure that the brand you select is reputable for quality, as this will increase the value of resales when you're ready to move on.

Side-byside doubles are less bulky when folded and have a bit more ease of getting up and down kerbs than tandem models. However, they may not be able to fit through all doorways and may be a struggle for families with larger numbers.

The Cybex Xeon 3 is a elegant and light option that handles just as well with two children as it does with just one. It can also be used it in single mode, with a basket positioned next to it. This is a great choice for parents with a limited storage space. Sophie, our home tester, was able to maneuver it even with two children in the seats. She also liked that it folds easily with the seat removed. This makes it easier to store.
