There are two primary types of double pushchairs: tandem as well as side-by-side. Side-by side buggies are designed with fixed seats that can be set side-by-side. They are suitable for twins or children that are different ages. However they are generally bigger than single pushchairs, and may struggle to fit through some doors or down narrow paths. In addition, they can be a bit long and heavy to push, particularly when the children are in car seats at the front.

Tandem buggies are typically more versatile as they offer a range of seating configurations and options, such as the possibility to have either of the seats facing in the direction of forward or backwards. They tend to be more expensive than side-byside pushchairs, however, they are easier to fold and maneuver. Many of them come with an enormous basket which can be opened even when the seats are reclined fully.

This will help you to navigate tricky terrain and transitions, while also ensuring that your children are safe and comfortable.

Examine how easy the straps and buckles are to operate before purchasing a double stroller and car seat.

There are two types of double pushchairs namely side-by-side and tandem. Side-by-side strollers are generally smaller than single strollers, which makes them ideal for maneuvering in narrow entranceways and narrow walkways. They can be heavy and long, which makes them difficult to climb up a hill or on the kerbs. Some models come with a second seat under the chassis, which can be beneficial for shopping or children who like to sit and take a look around.

Tandem pushchairs tend to be wider than side-by-side models, and they can be quite long too. They are however extremely versatile and can be adapted to fit with the majority of infant car seats. Some models also come with the option of a rumble-seat and bassinet attachment for families that are growing. The best rated double buggy brands can offer many different designs, and some even have reversible seats so you can alter the seating direction to meet your requirements.

Another factor to consider is the weight of your double buggy with carrycot buggy, particularly if you're looking for one that can accommodate babies in a carrycot. Some of the best double pushchairs have a high capacity for both seats and some will even allow you to add a third seat to the frame (although this isn't recommended for all infants).

The stroller features a side-by seat layout, and offers a variety of seating options that include two infant car seats (car seats and adapters are sold separately), as well as an attachment for a bassinet.

The Jeep-branded TwinRoo+ is a good choice for outdoor lovers because it can be used as an individual or double buggy, with a pair of Rumble seats (extra kit required). It has air-filled tires and a fantastic suspension. It can also be adapted to running. Some parents feel that the rumble seat's padding on the back isn't that supportive and that the cup holders for the child's seatback aren't sturdy enough.

Comfortable seats

A double pushchair that also includes the car seat is a great option for children. The seats should be cushioned, and the harnesses should be easy to use. The straps should be simple to adjust to height, and the buckles shouldn't require two hands to fasten. They should be durable and sturdy enough to withstand the repeated use. If the buckles can be difficult to operate, it may be unsafe. They should be replaced. Seats should be able to recline easily and have a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The recline feature is used by babies to sleep or older toddlers to look around the world around them.

Tandem buggies usually start out as a single buggy, and have adapters to add a second seat or infant car seat to the frame. They are smaller in size than strollers that are side by side but are too large for some doorways. These buggies are also heavy and difficult to maneuver between kerbs.

Side-by-side buggies, on other hand are usually more compact than tandem models. They are easier for twins to move and can be adapted to older siblings. However, they are more expensive and may not be able to fit through all doors. The joovy double bundle is an excellent example of a model which can have the seats facing one another, inwards or outwards. It can be used to make infant car seats, and includes bassinet.

The majority of the models we tested only required one step to attach and detach the car seat from its frame. This is a huge benefit for parents on the move and don't have the time to play around with numerous steps. Certain models, like the Doona and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, have a two-step attachment that involves clicking in place and putting on straps. This extra step provides a margin for error and increases the risk that the car seat will be set up incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch or shoulder straps, and some car seat buckles could be difficult to operate.
