double buggy with carrycot pushchairs are perfect for families with twins, or infants and toddlers. They can fit both children on the same seat, and also have an additional carrycot if needed.
They typically come with a large number of seat configurations and can fit through most doorways/hallways. They're a little longer than side by side buggies however they're more stable and can even be used on pavements.
Easy to maneuver
There are many factors to consider when choosing the best double stroller for your family. First, you should look at the size and weight of the pushchair, and also the mechanism for folding wheels, as well as the fabrications and wheels. If you can, buy an double stroller with a car seat that is made by a reputable manufacturer. This will guarantee the best price for resales in the future.
There are two primary types of double pushchairs: tandem and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are equipped with fixed seats that are placed side-by-side, and they can be suitable for twins or children of various age. They are a bit wider than single pushchairs and may have difficulty fitting through narrow or narrow spaces. In addition, they can also be heavy and long to push, particularly when children are in car seats in the front.
Tandem buggies are more flexible because they can be set up in various ways. One or both seats can be oriented either way or backwards. They're generally more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs however, they are easier to maneuver and fold. A lot of them have large shopping baskets that can be used even when the seats are in a fully reclined position.
A locking front wheel is a further feature you should look for in a double pushchair. This will help you to negotiate tricky terrain and transitions while ensuring your little ones remain secure and comfortable. Check out the storage space and determine if it is accessible. This will be useful when you have to do a lot of grocery shopping with two children.
If you are considering purchasing a double pushchair that comes with a car seat, you should also check how it is easy to operate the buckles and straps. Some buckles are simple and require only one hand to operate however, others might require two hands for operation. Find out if it comes with a padded strap for the crotch or a height adjustment for the shoulder. These features are crucial to keeping your child safe.
Folding is easy
It's important to think about how it's easy to fold and store a double pushchair that includes car seats. The best double strollers are quick and easy to fold, even with a child in each seat. They are also compact, making them ideal for urban living or parents who have limited storage.
There are two kinds of double pushchairs: tandem and side-by-side. Side-by-side strollers are generally smaller than single strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver through narrow doors and walkways. However, they can be long and heavy, which means they can be difficult to push up hills or on the kerbs. Some models have an additional seat in the undercarriage which is great to shop in or for children who prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.
Tandem pushchairs are typically wider and longer than side-byside models. They are extremely versatile and can be modified for use with any infant car seat. Some models also come with the option of a rumble-seat and bassinet attachment to accommodate growing families. Some of the best-rated double buggy brands have an array of configurations.
Another thing to consider is the weight of your chosen double buggy, particularly when you're trying to find one that can accommodate infants in a carrycot. Some of the best double pushchairs have an ample capacity for both seats and some even allow you to add a third seat onto the frame (although this isn't suitable for all infants).
To ensure your child is comfortable, you should look for features like reversible seats or recline options, as well as adjustable legrests. Some of the top double pushchairs also come with a built-in tray for parents which is the perfect place to keep your mobile phone and keys. They'll usually have at least two cup holders and an ample basket to store all your shopping. You'll find some models with suspension and a foot break which makes moving the twins easier, especially on uneven terrain.
Easy to store
Choose a double stroller that folds easily. They're typically a little bigger than
single double stroller buggies but they can fit through doors that are standard and take up less space in your car or in your boot. Some models come with a carry bag that makes storage is much easier.
The UPPAbaby V2 Double is a great option. This stroller has a side-by-side seat layout and offers multiple seating configurations that include two infant car seats (car seats and adapters sold separately), as well as an attachment for a bassinet. It also comes with a large storage basket with UPF 50 and rain canopies, telescoping handlebar, and comfortable seats. You can add a game to the cart to allow a third kid to join in the fun.
There are many other options. The Jeep-branded TwinRoo+ is a good option for outdoor enthusiasts because it can be used as an individual or double buggy that comes with rumble seats (extra kit is required). It has a fantastic suspension and air-filled tyres, and can be used for running, which isn't always the case with double pushchairs. Some parents complain that the rumble seats with padded backs aren't comfortable, and the cup holders on the seatback aren't sturdy enough.
The Joovy
twin strollers for newborns Xpand Car Seat Frame Double is another excellent choice. It is similar in style to some of the top award winners. It has a compact fold and can be used with toddler and infant car seats that can be altered to serve as bassinets making it ideal for twins or kids with different age groups. It can hold an additional child seat and an additional rumble seat.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly option that is similar in design to our award-winning models. It can also accommodate an additional seat by adding an rumble seat (sold separately) and has the ability to adjust, recline and recline seats and a parent cup holder. It has a weight limit of 50 lbs per seat. This means that it is not suitable for tall children.
Comfortable seats
A double pushchair that is well-designed and has a car seat can provide comfortable seats for your children. The seats should be padded and the harnesses need to be easy to use. The straps should be easy to adjust for height and the buckles shouldn't require two hands to tighten. They must be strong enough to withstand repeated usage. If the buckles are difficult to operate, they may be unsafe and should be replaced. Seats should be able to recline easily and have a large UPF 50+ canopy and the ability to peek into the window. The recline feature is perfect for babies who need to rest and older toddlers who like to sit up and look at the world around them.
Tandem buggies are usually made as a single stroller but they come with adapters that allow you to add a second seat. They typically have a narrower footprint than side-byside strollers, however, they might be too wide for some doorways. They can also be heavy and difficult to maneuver over and down kerbs.
Side-by-side buggies, on other hand, tend to be smaller than tandem models. They are easier to navigate and can be adapted to older twins. However, they are expensive and might not be able to fit through all doors. The joovy Qool double bundle is an example of a side-byside model that can be configured with the seats facing into either facing each other or in the direction of forward. It can be used with infant car seats and comes with a bassinet, as well.
Most of the models we tested had a one-step process for attaching and detaching the car seat from the frame. This is a huge plus for parents who are on moving and don't want to waste time with numerous steps. Certain models, like the Doona and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, come with an attachment with two steps that require pressing in place and then attaching straps. This additional step increases the chance of the car seat being installed incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch or shoulder straps, and a few buckles for car seats could be difficult to operate.
