Double pushchairs are available in two main kinds: tandem and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are made with fixed seats that can be placed side-by-side. They are suitable for twins or children that are of different age groups. They are a bit wider than single pushchairs and can be difficult to fit through doors or narrow pathways. In addition, they can also be long and heavy to push, especially when children are in car seats in the front.

Tandem buggies are usually more flexible, as they come with the option of a variety of seating arrangements with the option to have one or both of the seats facing forward or backwards. They’re more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs but can be easier to fold and move. A lot of them come with an enormous basket that can be used even when the seats are reclined fully.

Side-by-side strollers are generally smaller than single strollers, making them ideal for maneuvering through tight doorways and narrow walkways. However they can also be long and heavy, making them be difficult to push up hills or on kerbs. Some models have a second seat under the carriage, which is great for shopping or for older children who prefer to sit and watch their surroundings.

Tandem pushchairs may be larger and longer than side-by-side models. However, they are extremely adaptable and can be made to fit with the majority of infant car seats. Some models also come with an rumble seat as well as a bassinet attachment for growing families. Some of the best-rated double buggy brands offer a wide range of configurations.

Another thing to think about is the weight of your chosen double buggy, particularly when you’re trying to find one that can hold babies in a carrycot. Some of the top double strollers come with a huge capacity for both seats and some allow you to add an additional seat to the frame.

A double pushchair with the car seat is a great choice for children. The seats must be padded, and the harnesses should be easy to use. The straps must be adjustable for height and the buckles need not require two hands. They should be strong enough to withstand the repeated use. If the buckles are difficult to operate, they could be dangerous. They should be replaced. Seats should be able recline easily, and have large UPF 50+ canopy that has a windows that peek out. The recline feature is perfect for infants who prefer to sleep or older toddlers who want to sit and watch the world around them.

Tandem buggies are generally built as a single buggy, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat. They are smaller in size than strollers that are side by side, but may still be too large for some doorways. They can also be heavy and difficult to move between kerbs.

Side-by-side buggies, on other hand are usually more compact than tandem models. They are simpler for twins to handle and can also accommodate older siblings. They are more expensive, and they may not pass through all doors. The joovy qool double-bundle is an example of a two-by-side model that can be set up with the seats facing in, one another or facing forward. It can be used to make infant car seats, and includes an infant bassinet.

The majority of the models we tested had a one-step procedure for attaching and removing the car seat from the frame. This is a huge benefit for parents on the go and don’t have time to mess with several steps. Certain models, such as the Doona or the BOB Revo Flex 3.0 Combo have a two step attachment that requires pressing into place and strapping on. This extra step provides a margin for error and increases the chance that the car seat will be set up incorrectly. We also found that some strollers were having difficulty in adjusting the crotch strap or shoulder height, and the car seat buckles were sometimes difficult to operate.
