There are a variety of factors to think about when choosing a double buggy. First, ensure that it will fit through your doorway and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's thrilling to welcome another child into the family, but there are many practical considerations. The addition of another child to the family means reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, investing in the latest double buggy.

There are plenty of great alternatives available depending on whether you're looking to purchase twins or need something a bit smaller. Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that rival brands charge extra for and can fold up very well to take up a small amount of space in your boot. It is easy to move and it rolls well, according to users. It can feel a bit long when it is in double mode.

Side-byside buggies can be fantastic for keeping your children in a single place but they are typically wider than a single buggy which can make them difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market though and, at 63cm, it's the same size as the single pushchair. It is easy to get through doors and onto public transport. It is compatible with many car seats, and can grow with your family. You can use it as a tandem or mono buggy once your children are old enough to sit together.

The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's a great option for older children, since it comes with a seat that's elevated in a stadium style, giving them an even better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's still an excellent choice.

It's crucial to select the right double buggy that is easy to push. Find a handle with a cushioned grip that is shaped to your height. Also, look for a large basket with lots of compartments and pockets. It's also worth looking into how it's simple to fold and store your buggy when you're not using it.

There are some amazing new double push chair buggies available that make getting out and about with two kids much more enjoyable. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both car seats facing forward or backward, and even a third one with a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension makes it easy to maneuver around town and over rougher terrain.

Other side-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a compact footprint, which makes them easy to fit through doors and on public transport and you can usually store them with the seats still in place. However, they need some more strength to push them over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode with both car seats and seat, but it can also be used to push a single buggy. Its innovative frame expands in width.

If you're planning to travel by public transport a lot, consider whether you'll require a double buggy that has big wheels since they tend to cope better with rough or uneven surfaces. Find out how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the size of the buggy when folded, to see if it will fit into your boot. If you reside in a small village or town with narrow roads, you should consider a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other, instead of sitting directly in front of them, since this makes it easier to navigate tight spaces.

There are two primary kinds of double buggy - twin, where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem, where one seat is placed in front of the other. The primary benefit of twin buggy is that your children can interact without having to take turns or argue over who gets the best place. However, twins tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through the supermarket's doorways and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be slightly shorter however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable and could require dismantling to fit in the car boot. Reclining the seat independently is nowadays a standard feature on a lot of double buggies, so do ensure that the model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's designed as an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add a second seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third) to the frame with adaptors, giving you a wide range of seating arrangements. It's smooth to steer, has a great suspension, and Lab experts were impressed by the ease with which it is to fold. You just pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the whole thing collapses in half in just a few seconds.
