Most tandem buggies are designed with seats facing one another and offer multiple seat configurations, allowing your children to see each other when they ride. However, if your children are of a similar age to get along (or at least not fight over who is the most comfortable seat!) you might discover that they're more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing each other.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, which is popular with parents who are image-conscious, can be used either as an individual stroller or as a double stroller thanks to its adaptors, which allow you to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller on the market however it does come with unique characteristics that differentiate it from other strollers, such as the large shopping basket that sits behind the seat in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you plan to purchase one that you will use for several years take this into consideration. However, they do provide more storage space, typically with a bigger shopping basket. They usually also have a parent-facing seat with a sunshade that can be extended and a windows that peek out, as well with seats that recline independently. Some models come with an adjustable foot and leg rest that can be adjusted to ease any discomfort caused by walking or long periods of sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems have the children positioned on opposite sides with each other, giving them the same view and can help to avoid sibling squabbles over who gets to sit where. But they're not foolproof, and kids are able to punch or kick each one another while riding. Side-by-sides are a more traditional model, featuring two fixed seats that are affixed to a single-wide stroller frame. They may not have as many configurations and are ideal for infants who can sit without assistance but do not need the back support offered by an infant car seat.

It can accommodate either two or one infant seat or carrycots. It's also compact when folded and comes with a large shopping basket, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable and come with adjustable leg and foot rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a two-in-one pushchair, just like the Venus. You can configure it to meet your requirements. It can accommodate a single infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third passenger (though it limits the use to twins). The seat can recline independently, and the City Mini GT2 has some of the most comfortable handling among double buggies. Testers reported that it was easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are comfortable for children. Additionally the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to offer shade and have a cute peekaboo feature. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only downside to this model is that it's not quite as compact as other models. However, our lab experts said it could be opened and closed with ease.

Double buggies are heavier, bulkier and more expensive, however they are ideal for families with two children of the same age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that will last for many years and retain its value.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that let you add an additional seat, carrycot or (in some instances) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others - such as this one made by Leclerc can be changed to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are ready to do so.

While a side-byside is typically wider than other double buggy types, it can be easier to move up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to prevent sibling rivalries and children in the same seat could punch or kick each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem could be an excellent alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children. It can also lessen the likelihood of sibling fights since your children aren't directly facing eachother. Some children might be a bit secluded when a tandem faces toward the rear, as they don't have the same view.

The egg2 is a stylish, modern product with competitive pricing. Our testers loved how easy it was to push, but wished it had more storage and that the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn, or as the combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/car seat(s) for twins. It's also the most flexible of our double buggies which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009. It's not the most affordable double buggy, but it has a competitive cost and an excellent selling.
