How Double Pushchair Has Become The Most Sought-After Trend In 2023

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

Double pushchairs are great for families with twins or children of similar age. Select from side-by-side or tandem models like the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 that's slim enough to pass through standard doorways.

Many models also have recliners that lie flat and can be used with infant car seats. Some models can even be converted to single mode. The egg2 Pushchair is a favorite because of its design and versatility.

Side by Side

Side-by-side strollers are an excellent option for families with twins or siblings of various age. These typically offer 2 fixed seats with a single canopy, and they're usually wider than an inline buggy to give both children the same view. They're easy to maneuver, and some have front and rear suspensions to provide better control over bumps or over the kerb while turning.

They may cost more than other double buggies, but they offer a higher selling price, particularly when they're a well-known brand. They are also ideal for jogging, and can take on any terrain. The seats offer plenty of space for your children to relax comfortably. Buggies are available in a variety of colours and styles to match your family's taste.

Certain models come with extra accessories to help keep your baby comfortable. These include baby blankets and cushions for seats, liners and head supports. They may also have pockets for storing snacks and toys. Parents can even get an infant buggy with an adult console to keep essentials handy.

The 2023 version of this cult buggy features a fresh design, a bigger sun canopy, and new logos. It's a stylish choice for image-conscious parents and is compatible with iCandy car seats. It's also easy to assemble but Kerry found it did take quite a while to get everything out of the boxes. However, the packaging was clever and well-labeled which made it easy to determine what you can expect from each piece.

It's heavier than other double buggies however, it's still light for an inline model. It's also extremely versatile, and it can be used with two or one infant car seats. It can be transformed from a single car seat to a tandem with just a single click.

This is an excellent option if you want to avoid disturbing your sleepy newborn.

The seat is set one ahead of the other in this arrangement, so it can be difficult for toddlers to keep from distracting each other while you're 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. A lot of models have an elevated and more upright seat for older children. Depending on the style, it is possible to position them with the intention of facing each other or the world.

Lightweight

The best lightweight Double Single Pushchair strollers are small, easily maneuverable and nimble. They're typically constructed of a sturdy aluminum frame, and some come with air-filled wheels to help them move over rough surfaces. They can also have a one-handed fold and handy shoulder straps to make them easier to carry. Look for additional extras like a sunshade, rain cover and foot muff.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double stroller with low cost. It straddles two categories as it is a fully-functional travel system and a lightweight buggy that can be used from birth with the addition of a carrycot. It has an aesthetically pleasing side-by-side design with the two seats recline independently. This provides the ideal positioning for babies and young toddlers. It has a generous UPF 50+ canopy, with peekaboo windows, 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 accommodate twins, or a baby with a toddler. It is compatible with many car seats. It features a stylish and sleek frame with large wheels at the back that can handle rough terrain. It's also ideal for jogging. It's a little long when in double mode, though there's no storage space under the seat.

When comparing double pushchairs, be aware of the weight of each seat, as well as the frame and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is, the more difficult to push, particularly on uneven surfaces. Check the folding dimensions, and then see if you can take off the seat to make it more compact. Look for features like a one-handed folding system, which Kirstie was a home-based tester at the time described as "genius" or a strap that you can sling over your shoulder.

Alternately, you can opt for a tandem pushchair, which sits children one behind the other. It is not as maneuverable however, it's still a great option for many families. It may be more suitable for older toddlers. There are tandems that have reclining seats which give children the flexibility to lie down or sit down depending on their moods and needs.

Confortable

If you're a parent of twins or two kids close in age, having the best double pushchair will make outings significantly simpler. There are plenty of comfy options on the market. There are plenty of options for families, no matter if you're searching for a side-by- side model that can fit both a carrycot and seats or a tandem model with a front and rear seat that can be swapped.

In addition to buckles, straps, padded straps and headrests, look for seats with multiple recline positions and adjustable Calf rests. These are often controlled by one-handed buttons accessible from the rear of the seat. (Though in our labs this can be a bit difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the top double stroller sale strollers also have a large UPF50+ sun canopy, magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extension that shields your child from harmful UV radiation.

Convertible Doubles

One of the best ways to save money is to invest in an adjustable pushchair that can be converted from single mode to double as your children grow. The egg2, as an example, is a stylish option that can be used right from birth with the included baby or toddler carriers and also comes with the RumbleSeat as an additional feature for older siblings. The reclining seats and large carrycots were adored by the home testers who adored the possibility of it growing with your family.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a low-cost option that will last from birth to toddlerhood, check out the iCandy Venus. It comes with a seat and 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 liked the ease of use to switch between different configurations. They also found the instructions to be clear and straightforward however it might require some time.

Some double pushchairs only allow the children to be seated together and are generally oriented towards the world. However, there are a few notable exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up both for front and parent facing (though this will increase overall chassis width). Kerb popping is generally simpler with a tandem, however getting through doorways and narrow aisles of shopping can be difficult at times.
