How Double Pushchair Became The Hottest Trend In 2023

Buying a Double Pushchair For Twins Or Two Siblings Close in Age?

Double pushchairs are perfect for families with twins or children with similar ages. Select from side-by-side or tandem models such as the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 that's narrow enough to fit through standard doorways.

Many models also have recliners that can be laid flat and can be used with infant car seats. Some even convert to single mode, like with the egg2 Pushchair which is loved for its design and versatility.

Side by Side

The side-byside buggy is the classic choice for families with twins, or siblings of different ages. They usually have 2 fixed seats and one canopy. They are also more spacious than inline buggy models to allow both children to be able to see the same thing. They're easy to navigate, and some come with front and rear suspension to provide better control over bumps or over the kerb while turning.

While they can cost more than other types of double buggies, they tend to have better resale value, especially if you choose a popular brand. They're also great for jogging, and can handle rough terrain. The seats provide plenty of space for your children to relax. They are available in a variety of colours and designs to complement your family's style.

Certain models come with additional accessories to help keep your baby comfortable. These can include head supports, and baby blankets. They may also have pockets for storing snacks and toys. Parents can also find an infant buggy with an adult console to keep the essentials in their reach.

The 2023 version of this cult buggy comes with a new look and a larger sun canopy and brand new logos. It's a stylish choice for parents who are image-conscious and compatible with iCandy child car seats. It's also easy to put together but Kerry found that it took quite a while to get all the components out of the boxes. The packaging was well-labeled and efficient which made it easy to know what to expect from each component.

It's a little heavier than other double buggies but it's still quite light for an inline model. It is also very versatile and can be used with one or two infant car seat. It can be converted from a single car seat to a tandem with just a single click.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a great cheap double pushchair stroller for busy parents. It is easy to maneuver and can handle rough terrain. It comes with a huge basket, independent recline on both seats, and a 5-point strap that is padded to keep your children safe.

Tandem

The innovative frame of this pushchair is able to expand widthways, allowing you to add a second seat without compromising on space. This is a great option for twins since it can accommodate two carrycots or a car seat. It's also a great option for road trips. It is a little larger and heavier than some of its rivals, but it provides plenty of storage space including a large shopping basket. The iCandy Peach is a favourite among parents who are obsessed with their image and has an incredibly stylish, sleek design. Its reclining main seat also moves into four different positions, and it will grow with your children up to 25kg. The quick-release Velcro fastenings make it easy to add an additional seat. This model can also be used in tandem mode, with one child on the other. This is an excellent option for parents who want to keep from the baby from being disturbed.

The seats are placed one in front of another which makes it more difficult for toddlers and their parents to get distracted when they are out and out and about. This type of pushchair usually features a padded seat that is able to recline completely and is ideal for babies. Some models come with an elevated and more upright seat for children who are older. Based on the design, it is possible to set them up facing each other or to the world. With a tandem pushchair, it's more streamlined to fit through narrow doors, but it might be difficult to get around kerbs and stairs with two children.

A great option for families with special needs This versatile pushchair is a nifty solution for disabled children who benefit from having another child to play with and encourage. It's not expensive, but it's made to last. There's plenty of space for all your requirements. It comes with a range of accessories that will allow you to customize the buggy to meet the needs of your family like rain covers or lines.

Lightweight

The most lightweight double strollers are compact, easy to maneuver and agile. They're usually made of a sturdy aluminum frame, and some have air-filled wheels that help them move over rough surfaces. They also come with a single-handed fold as well as handy shoulder straps that make them easier to carry. You could consider adding additional accessories like an ankle muff, a sunshade or a rain cover.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double stroller that comes at low cost. It straddles two categories as both a full-functioning travel system as well as a light buggy that is suitable from birth with the addition of a carrycot. It is a side-by-side model and both seats recline independently, offering an ideal positioning for toddlers and babies. It comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out, and the toddler seat is fully cushioned with foot and leg rests that can be adjusted.

UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another top contender. It can carry twins, or a baby and a toddler. It can be used with a variety of car seats. It has an elegant and stylish frame with large back wheels that can withstand rough terrain, and it's also suitable for jogging. The double mode can make it a little long, and there's no storage space underneath the seat.

When comparing double pushchairs take into consideration the weight of each seat, as well as the frame and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is, the more difficult to push, particularly over uneven surfaces. Then check the folding dimensions and whether or not you can remove the seats, which makes it more compact. Look for features like a one-handed folding, which Kirstie was a home-based tester at the time, described as "genius", or a strap you can sling over your shoulder.

You can also select a tandem double stroller, which puts the kids one behind the other. It's not as easy to maneuver as a side-by-side, however it's still a viable option for many families and could be more suitable for older toddlers. You'll also find some tandems with reclining seats, that allow children to lie down or sit down based on their mood and needs.

Comfortable

The right cheap double pushchair pushchair can simplify your travels regardless of whether you have twins or two children with similar ages. There are a variety of options for comfortable ones on the market. There are plenty of options for families, whether you're searching for a side-by- side model that can hold both a carrycot and an additional seat, or a tandem with a front and rear seat that can be swapped.

Make sure you choose a seat with multiple reclining positions, as well as adjustable calfrests. Often, these will be controlled via easy-to-use single-handed buttons accessible from the back of the seat (though in our labs this could be a little fiddly for parents with small hands). Some of the top double pushchairs also come with an enormous UPF 50+ sun canopy with windows that are magnetic and an easy-to-use hood extender that can protect your children from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

A great way to save money is to buy an adjustable pushchair that can convert from single mode to double mode as your children develop. The egg2, for example, is a chic option that can be used from birth with the included baby or toddler carriers and even offers a RumbleSeat second add-on for older siblings. The reclining seats and spacious carrycots were especially well-loved by the home testers who adored the possibility of it growing with your family.

If you're looking for a low-cost option that can last into toddlerhood and beyond the iCandy Venus is a great choice. It includes a footmuff as well as a seat, but it can be converted into a twin-sized pram by using the brand's infant Cocoons (available at a price of PS59 per piece). Our labs liked the ease of use to switch between the different configurations. They also found the directions to be clear and straightforward, although it may take some practice.

Some double umbrella stroller pushchairs allow you to sit your children side-by-side and are generally oriented towards the world, but there are exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up for both front and parent facing seating (though this can result in an increase in the overall size of the chassis). Kerb popping is typically simpler with a tandem, however the narrow doorways and aisles for shopping can be an issue at times.
