The seat and carrycot have side-by-side positioning, meaning your children can see each other and you can keep an eye on them, which means you're less likely to misinterpret them. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides on the market, so it should pass through most doors and be easily maneuvered around tight corners. However, it does feel long and heavy to push when it's in double mode, and doesn't do as well on uneven or rough terrain like some of our top-quality double buggies.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's an excellent choice for a moderate price.

It's not as large or as well-made as some of the other best-value doubles, but it's a great price overall.

Safety

When buying a double buggy you must ensure that it meets all the important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and if they are equipped with various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Find large storage baskets along with pockets and other items you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.

If you're going to use the buggy mainly around town or on public transport, ensure whether it is light and easy to maneuver. You should also take into consideration the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and if it is easy to fold up and fit into the car boot. If you are using the buggy a lot in villages or small towns, check that the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow streets and doors.

There are many different types of double buggies that are available and side-by-side models are the most popular. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but they offer the advantage of both children being in a position to see. These can be very expensive.

Tandem buggies are another option and these have the children placed next to one another. This can be more comfortable for older children, however it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It is also more difficult to get them through narrow doors and is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs.
