Double strollers are available in two different styles: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages, and can be transformed into a single-to-double stroller by adding seats.

Most tandem buggies have seats that face one another and are available in a variety of configurations. This allows your children to observe each other while riding.

It's not the cheapest double stroller, however it does come with some unique features which set it apart from other strollers. One of them is the large basket that is placed behind seat when in parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies Be aware of this in mind if looking to purchase a model that will last many years. They have more storage space, and a larger basket. They also typically feature a parent-facing seat with an extendable sunshade as well as a the peekaboo window, aswell as seats that recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable leg and foot rest, which helps with any discomfort caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

Side-by-sides, and tandems are the most sought-after types of double buggy . Tandems place the children side by side with each other, giving them the same view and may help avoid sibling arguments over who should sit where. However, they're not foolproof, and kids may punch or kick each on the other while they're riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional design, with two fixed seats that are affixed to a single-wide stroller frame. They may not have the same number of configurations, and are ideal for infants who are able to sit on their own but do not need the back support that comes with an infant car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are looking for a lightweight, double from birth. This clever model expands widthways in order to change from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or one carrycot or infant seats. The compact folding design includes an ample shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and a large shopping bag for a smoother ride. The seats, including the RumbleSeat, are padded and comfortable, as well as adjustable foot and leg rests. They also come with an ample UPF 50+ canopy, which provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a similar value product. It's a side-by-side pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can configure it to meet your needs. It can accommodate only one infant car seat, and you can add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional passenger (though this limits the use to twins). The seat reclines independently, and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most nimble handling among double buggies, with test drivers reporting it's easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The seat padding and fabrics are a comfortable fit for both children and adults and adults, and the UPF 50+ canopy is long enough to provide real shade. It also offers a cute peekaboo view. The seat reclines in a variety of positions, which our testers loved. The only drawback to this model is that it's not as compact as other models. However, our lab experts said it could be opened and closed with ease.

Double buggies are larger, heavier and more expensive, but they're ideal for families who have two children of the same age (generally less than 4 years old). Select a brand that can last for many years and keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally one-person pushchairs, but they come with adaptors that allow you to add an extra seat or carrycot or (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame.

A side-byside double buggy is typically wider than other types however, it's more maneuverable over kerbs because the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to prevent sibling rivalries; kids in the same seat can punch or kick each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem can be a good alternative to a side-by-side model for older children. It can also lessen the possibility of sibling rivalries since your children aren't directly facing eachother. It's worth noting that some kids may feel isolated or lonely when they're in a front-facing tandem since they don't have the same view of the world around them.
