It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market but it does have some unique characteristics that differentiate it from competitors, including the large shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you are planning to buy one that you will use for several years, keep this in mind. However, they do offer more storage space, often with a larger basket for shopping. These seats are also equipped with a parent facing seat and a sunshade that could be extended, and an open window. They could also have seats that recline independently. Some have an adjustable leg and foot rest that eases any discomfort that is caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

Tandems, side-by-sides and tandems are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-by-side and sharing the same view. This can help avoid sibling fights over seating. They're not foolproof, and children can still kick or punch one another when they are riding. Side-by-side is more traditional and has two fixed seats mounted on a single stroller frame. They might not have as many configurations and are generally best for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't require the back support of an infant car seat.

This clever model expands widthways to convert from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or one carrycot or infant seats. It's also compact when folded and comes with a large shopping basket, as well as front and rear suspension for a more comfortable ride. The seats include the RumbleSeat are cushioned, comfortable, and have adjustable footrests 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 different good value option. It's a two-in-one pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can configure it to meet your requirements. It takes one car seat for infants, and you can add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third passenger (though this limits the usability to twins). The seat reclines independently, and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most nimble handling of double buggies, with test drivers reporting it's easy to move between kerbs.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are comfortable for children. In addition the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to provide shade and the cute peekaboo feature. The seat reclines in multiple positions,, which our testers appreciated. The only downside to this model is that it isn't quite as compact as other models. However our lab experts stated that it was easy to open and close.

Double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies, but they're a must-have for families with two children that are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that is designed to last for many years and keep its value.

Tandem buggies start life as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that let you add a second seat, carrycot, or (in certain cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others, like this one made by Leclerc, can be converted into a side-by-side layout once your children reach the age of.

While a side-by-side is typically wider than other double buggy types, it can be easier to maneuver through kerbs, as the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to avoid sibling fights; kids in the same seat could kick or punch each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem could be a good alternative to a side by side model for older children. It can also lessen the chance of fighting between siblings as your kids are not directly in front of each other. It's important to remember that some kids may feel lonely or disengaged in a front-facing tandem, as they won't have the same view of their surroundings.

The egg2 is a sleek, modern product with competitive pricing. Our testers loved how easy it is to push, but they would prefer it had more storage and that the handlebars were a little more ergonomic. It's suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn or in a combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/car seat(s) for twins - it's the most flexible of our double buggies, which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009.
