Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they're not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can also be difficult to climb up curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place, because that's the way you'll use it the most. Examine the ease with which it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or using the front wheels that rotate. You should also check the brakes, as they can be difficult to use if both child seats have been connected.

Comfort

There's a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. Typically, they can carry both children side-by-side but some can convert into single pushchairs (although this is usually involving taking off one seat). They are generally larger than a single stroller, but they provide an excellent value and versatility.

In our recent double stroller reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a variety of things including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also rated how easy it was to take the car seat into and out, and if it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight double buggy from birth stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and includes an open window that can be seen from the outside, and both seats recline into multiple positions with just the press of a button. One seat can be made to lie flat so that a newborn can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

Other excellent features on this model include the padded handlebar, cup pouch and holder as well as the simple braking system and the reversible seating liner that is naturally antibacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test participants also appreciated the fact that you can fold it with one hand, which is a big benefit when you have two young children to keep an eye on.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, but they can offer maximum flexibility as they are usually designed to fit into narrow doors and aisles. They can be a burden to push and difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps balance the overall load.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair is an ideal addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a newborn. It can keep your children content by keeping them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy may also be a great option for those who plan to take it on public transport because it is more convenient to fit in the available space.

Some models are ultra flexible that allow you to switch back to single mode as soon as your child is old enough to use a stroller. This lets you avoid buying an entirely new stroller.

It can be used with a stroller seat and a rolling suitcase for the parents and children, allowing you to travel light and still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an entirely different type of double stroller than the competition, but it comes with the same features that you'll find in our top-rated choices. It folds easily and can fit through the majority of doors. The basket under the carriage is also taller and makes it easier to load groceries. The back seat is covered to keep your youngster warm in winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, which makes it difficult to navigate shopping aisles or narrow footpaths. However, it is more maneuverable on rough terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer through tight turns, particularly if your heavier child is in the front seat.

A double pushchair that is inline, however is a better choice for the majority of families. It is typically used as a twin pram if your children are younger, but can also convert to a tandem when they're older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.
