When comparing double pushchairs, think about the weight of each frame, seat and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is, the more difficult it will be to push, particularly over uneven surfaces.

Confortable
A double pushchair that is well-designed can simplify your travels no matter if you have twins or two children of similar age. Thankfully, there's a wide selection of comfortable options on the market. There are a variety of options for families, no matter if you're seeking a side by side model that can fit both a carrycot seat and an additional seat or a tandem model with an rear and front seat that can be switched.
In addition to buckles, straps, padded straps and headrests, search for seats that have multiple recline positions and adjustable calf rests. Typically, these are controlled via easy-to-use one-handed buttons accessible from the back of the seat (though in our tests, this can prove difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the best double strollers also come with a huge UPF50+ sun canopy, a magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extension to shield your child from harmful UV radiation.
Convertible Doubles
One of the best ways to save money is to invest in a convertible pushchair which can change from single mode to double mode as your children grow. The egg2, for instance, is a stylish choice that can be used in conjunction with the included toddler seat or baby carrier from birth. It even offers a second add-on RumbleSeat for older siblings. Its reclining seats as well as its spacious, comfy carrycots are particularly appreciated by test-run testers at home, who love how much it can expand with your family.
On the other side, if you're looking for a low-cost option that can last from birth until toddlerhood, try the iCandy Venus. It includes a seat as well as a footmuff, but it 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 infants/toddlers. Our labs loved how easy it was to switch between the different configurations. They also found the directions to be simple and clear however it could require some time to master.
Some double pushchairs allow the children to be seated together and are generally oriented towards the world. However, there are a few notable exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which can be configured with both front and parent facing (though this will increase overall chassis width). Kerb popping is usually simpler with a tandem, however getting through narrow doors and aisles for shopping can be an issue at times.
