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 it will be to push. This is especially the case on uneven surfaces. Be sure to look at the dimensions of the folding and then see if you can take off the seat to make it smaller. Look for features like a one-handed folding system, which Kirstie, a home tester at the time described as "genius", or a strap that can be worn over your shoulder.

Confortable

If you're the parent of twins or two kids close in age, having the perfect double pushchair will make outings significantly simpler. There are plenty of comfy options on the market. If you're looking to purchase an side-by-side model that will accommodate a carrycot and a seat or a tandem that has an interchangeable front and rear seat, there's bound to be a suitable option for your family.

In addition to buckles, straps with padding and headrests, you should look for seats with multiple reclining positions and adjustable Calf rests. They are usually operated by a single-handed button located at the rear of the seat. (Though in our labs it can be difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the top double strollers also have a large UPF50+ sun canopy, a magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extension that shields your child from harmful UV rays.

Convertible Doubles

One way to save money is to invest in an adjustable pushchair that can be converted from single mode to double mode as your children grow. The egg2, for example is a fashionable option that can be used in conjunction with the toddler seat that comes with it or a baby carrier from birth and comes with a second RumbleSeat for older siblings. Its reclining seats and large, comfy carrycots are particularly well-received by test-run testers at home, who appreciate how it can expand with your family.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that can last into toddlerhood and beyond the iCandy Venus is a great choice. It comes with a seat and footmuff, but it can be combined with the brand's newborn cocoons (available separately at PS59 each) to transform it into a twin pram that is suitable for twins or toddlers. Our labs were impressed by how easy it was to switch between configurations. They also found the directions to be simple and clear however it could require some practice.

Some double pushchairs permit you to seat your children in a row and are generally world-facing. However there are some notable exceptions like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up both for front and parent facing (though this will increase overall width of the chassis). Kerb popping is usually more straightforward with a tandem, but getting through doorways and narrow aisles of shopping can be an issue at times.
