There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double buggy. Firstly, check that it will fit through your door and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to welcome another child into the family but there are a number of practical considerations. The addition of a second child to the family will require redesigning living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and acquiring an extra buggy.

If you're looking to purchase twins or simply need something a little more compact there are plenty of options available on the market. Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that competitors cost extra for and can fold up very well to occupy a tiny space in your boot.

They require more effort to push over kerbs, and can be tricky on uneven surfaces.
