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

If you're expecting twins or two children close in age, a double pushchair will give the flexibility you need to accommodate your growing family. Choose from tandem models or side-byside configurations such as the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is small enough to fit through standard doorways.

Many models also come with recliners that can be laid flat and are compatible with infant car seats. Some models can be changed to single mode. The egg2 Pushchair is a well-loved choice because of its design and versatility.

Side by Side

Side-by-side strollers are an ideal option for families with twins or siblings of different age. They usually have 2 fixed seats and a single canopy. They're also a bit wider than inline buggys to allow both children to observe the same things. They are simple to maneuver and even have front and back suspensions for better control when traversing kerbs or bumps.

Although they may cost more than other double buggies but they tend to have a higher resale value, especially if you choose a well-known brand. They're ideal for jogging and can withstand rough terrain. The seats offer plenty of space for your kids to sit comfortably. Buggies are available in a variety of colours and designs to complement your family's style.

Some models come with additional accessories that can help keep your baby comfortable. These accessories can include head supports and baby blankets. They may also have pockets for storing snacks and toys. Parents can get an infant buggy with a console to keep essentials close at hand.

The 2023 version of this popular buggy features a fresh design with a larger sun canopy and fresh logos. It's a chic option for parents who want to look their best and is compatible with iCandy car seats. It's easy to put together although Kerry found that it took some time to take the components out of their boxes. The packaging was clever and well-labeled making it easier to know what to expect from each component.

It's heavier than other double buggies, but it's still fairly light for an inline model. It's also extremely versatile and can be used with two or more infant car seats. It can also switch from a single to a tandem in one click and is a huge bonus for growing families.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a great double stroller for parents who are busy. It's easy to maneuver and is able to handle rough terrain. It also comes with a large shopping basket, independent recline for both seats, and a padded 5-point harness to keep your children secure.

Tandem

This innovative frame can be expanded in size, allowing the possibility of a second seat being added without compromising space. It's an excellent choice for twins as young as birth and can take 2 carrycots or car seats as well, making it a fantastic travel system for road trips. It's a bit heavier than its rivals and may feel long when pushing in double mode, but it's got plenty of storage, including a spacious shopping basket. The iCandy Peach is a favourite among image-conscious parents and boasts an incredibly sleek, stylish design. Its seat can be adjusted into four different positions and will grow with your child up to 25kg. It is simple thanks to the quick-release Velcro fasteners, and this model can be used in tandem mode, with one child on the other. It's an excellent option when you have a newborn that you don't want to disrupt their sleep.

The seat is placed one in front of the other in this arrangement, so it can be difficult for toddlers to keep from distracting one another while out and about. This type of pushchair typically features a padded seat that is able to recline completely, so it's suitable for infants. Many models will feature a higher, more upright seat in the back for older children, and it's usually possible to set them to be facing each other or world facing depending on the design of buggy. It's easier to navigate narrow doors with a tandem pushchair, but it can be hard to get up kerbs and staircases with two children in tow.

This multi-functional pushchair is an excellent choice for families with children who have special needs. It's an excellent option for disabled kids who can benefit from a younger sibling with whom they can play and encourage. It's expensive, but the sturdy design is made to last, and there's plenty of storage space for all the things you'll require. It comes with a range of accessories to enable you to customize the buggy to suit the needs of your family, such as rain covers or liner.

Lightweight

The best lightweight lightest double stroller strollers are compact easily maneuverable and nimble. Some come with air-filled tires that assist them in gliding over rough surfaces. Some models have one-handed folds and shoulder straps, making them easier for you to carry. Look for additional extras like a sunshade rain cover and foot muff.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double stroller with a low price. It's a traveling system that can be used as a lightweight stroller as well as a functional travel system. A carrycot can be added to allow it to be suitable for use from the time of birth. It is a side-by-side model and both seats recline independently providing the ideal position for babies and toddlers. It has a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and a toddler seat that's fully padded and adjustable.

Another top contender is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It can carry twins, or a baby and a toddler, and it is compatible with a variety of car seats. It has sleek and stylish frames with big back wheels that can withstand rough terrain, and it's also suitable for running. The double mode could make it a bit too long, and there's no storage beneath the seat.

When comparing double pushchairs, be aware of the weight of each seat, as well as the frame and suspension. The heavier the buggy 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. Check for features such as a one-handed folding mechanism, which Kirstie was a home-based tester at the time, described as "genius", or straps that can be slung over your shoulder.

Alternatively, you can opt for a tandem double pushchair, which sits children behind each other. It's not as easy to maneuver as a side-byside, but it's still a good alternative for families of all sizes and is suitable for older toddlers. There are also tandems with reclining seats, which allow children to lie down or sit down based on their moods and needs.

Comfortable

If you're a parent of twins or two kids close in age, having the right double pushchair can make getting out significantly simpler. Thankfully, there's a wide variety of comfortable choices on the market. If you're looking for a side-byside model that can accommodate a seat and carrycot or a tandem model with an interchangeable front and rear seat, there's bound to be a perfect option for your family.

In addition to padded straps, buckles and headrests, search for seats that have multiple recline positions and adjustable calf rests. Typically, these are controlled via easy-to-use one-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 come with an extensive UPF 50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extender to protect your children from harmful UV radiation.

Convertible Doubles

One of the best ways to save money is to buy a convertible pushchair that can be converted from single mode to double push chair as your children develop. The egg2, for instance is a chic option that can be used with the toddler seat that comes with it or a baby carrier from birth. It even offers a second add-on RumbleSeat for older siblings. Its reclining seats and large, comfy carrycots are particularly appreciated by test-run testers at home, who appreciate how it will grow with your family.

On the other side, if you're looking for a budget option that will last from birth to toddlerhood, try the iCandy Venus. It includes a seat as well as a footmuff but can be combined with the brand's newborn cocoons (available separately for just PS59 each) to transform it into an infant pram that can be used by twins or babies/toddlers. Our labs loved how simple it is to switch between configurations and found the instructions clear and easy to follow - even though it takes some practice to master it out of the box.

Some double pushchairs permit you to place your children in a row and are generally world-facing. However there are some notable exceptions, such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up with both front and parent facing (though this can increase the overall width of the chassis). Tandems are generally easier to maneuver through kerbs, but they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow aisles and doorways.
