This stylish pushchair, that is popular among parents who are a bit glam, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller due to its adaptors that permit you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the cheapest double stroller, but it does have some unique features which make it stand out from other strollers. One of them is a large basket that sits behind the seat when it's in the parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies are usually heavier and bulkier. If you plan to purchase a buggie that you intend to be using for a long time take this into consideration. However, they do provide more storage space, usually with a larger basket for shopping. They also come with a child-facing seat as well as a sunshade which can be extended, and an open window. They may also have seats that recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable foot and leg rests which eases any discomfort caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed with the children seated side-by-side with the same perspective. This helps avoid sibling fights over where to sit. However, they're still not foolproof, and kids are able to punch or kick each on the other while they're riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional format, with two fixed seats that are affixed to one frame for a stroller. They don't offer the same number of configurations and are typically recommended for infants who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't require the back support of a car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are seeking a light, double from birth. This innovative model can be expanded width-wise to convert from mono to twin mode, taking either two or more carrycots and/or infant seats. The compact folding design includes a large shopping basket, front and rear suspension, and a large shopping bag for a smoother ride. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are comfortable and padded and come with adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as generous UPF 50+ canopies that offer plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a different good value option. It's a side by side pushchair, just like the Venus. You can configure it to meet your needs. It can accommodate a single infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional passenger (though this limits the use to twins). The seat can recline independently and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best maneuverability among double buggies. Testers reported that it was easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are comfortable for kids. In addition, the UPF 50+ canopies are large enough to provide shade and the cute peekaboo feature. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at various angles. The only issue is that the fold isn't as compact as other models, however our lab experts believe it opens and closes easily.

Double strollers are typically heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies. However, they're a great investment for families with two kids who are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that will last for a long time and will not lose its value.

Tandem buggies are initially an individual pushchair, but they have adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in some cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others - like this one from Leclerc - can switch to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

While a side-byside is generally wider than other double buggy types, it can be easier to move up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to avoid sibling fights; kids in the same seat may kick or punch each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older kids and is less susceptible to squabbles between siblings, since your children don't face each one another. Some children may feel excluded in a tandem that is facing towards the front, since they don't have the same perspective.

The egg2 is sleek, modern design and an attractive price. Our test participants liked how simple to push, but they wished it had more storage. They also wanted the handlebars were more comfortable.
