It can accommodate twins, or a baby and a toddler. It is compatible with many car seats. It features a sleek and stylish frame with large back wheels that can withstand rough terrain, and it's also suitable for running. The double mode could make it a bit long, and there is no storage space underneath the seat. When comparing double pushchairs, take into consideration the weight of each seat, frame and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is, the more difficult to push, particularly on uneven surfaces. Then check the folding dimensions and whether or not you can remove the seats, which makes it smaller. Check for features such as a one-handed folding mechanism, which Kirstie who was a home tester at the time, described as “genius” or a strap can be slung over your shoulder. You can also choose a tandem double stroller which puts the kids one behind the other. It's not as agile, but still an excellent option for families with multiple children. It may be better suited for older toddlers. There are also tandems with reclining seats that allow children to sit up or lie down depending on their mood and requirements. Confortable A good double pushchair will simplify your travels regardless of whether you have twins or two children with similar ages. There's a great selection of comfortable options that are available. If you're looking to purchase a side-by-side model that can accommodate a seat and carrycot or a tandem model with an removable rear and front seat, there's bound to be the perfect choice for your family. In addition to buckles, straps, padded straps and headrests, search for seats with multiple recline positions and adjustable calf rests. These are typically controlled by one-handed buttons accessible from the rear of the seat. (Though in our testing this can be a bit difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the best double pushchair s also offer a large UPF 50+ sun canopy with windows that are magnetic and an incredibly useful hood extension to protect your children from harmful UV rays. Convertible Doubles A great way to save money is to invest in a convertible pushchair which can change from single mode to double as your children develop. The egg2, as an example, is a fashionable option that can be used from birth with the included baby or toddler carriers and also comes with a RumbleSeat second add-on for older siblings. Its reclining seats and large, comfy carrycots are particularly appreciated by test-run testers at home, who love how much it can grow with your family. On the other the other hand, if you're searching for a budget-friendly option that can last from birth to toddlerhood, check out the iCandy Venus. It includes a footmuff as well as a seat, but it can also be converted into a twin-sized stroller by using the brand's new Cocoons (available at a price of just PS59). Our labs were impressed by the ease of being able to switch between the different configurations. They also found the instruction to be easy and simple however it might require some practice. Some double pushchairs only allow you to place your children side-by-side. They are typically world facing however there are exceptions such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet that can be configured for both front and parent facing seating (though this can increase the overall size of the chassis). Kerb popping is typically more straightforward with a tandem, but the narrow doorways and aisles for shopping can be a challenge at times.
