If you are able, buy a double stroller with car seat that is made by a reputable company. This will ensure the best price for resales in the near future.

There are two types of double pushchairs: tandem and side by side. Side-by-side buggies are made with fixed seats that can be set side-by-side. They are suitable for twins or children who are different age. They are larger than single pushchairs and could be difficult to fit through doors or narrow pathways. In addition, they may also be long and heavy to push, especially when the children are in car seats in the front.

Tandem buggies are usually more flexible as they provide various seating options, including the option to have one or both of the seats facing forwards or backwards. They're more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are easier to fold and maneuver. Many also come with an enormous shopping basket that is accessible even when the seats are in a fully reclined position.

A front wheel that locks is another feature you must look for in a double pushchair. This will help you to negotiate tricky terrain and transitions while ensuring your little ones remain safe and secure. Take a look at the storage space and determine if it is easily accessible. This will be useful when you have to do a lot of grocery shopping with two children.

When buying a double pushchair with car seat, you should also consider how it is easy to use the buckles and straps.

There are two primary types of double pushchairs: side-by-side and tandem. Side-by-side buggys tend to be narrower than single strollers, which makes them ideal for maneuvering in tight doorways and narrow pathways. They can be heavy and long, making them difficult to push up a hill or on kerbs. Some models come with a second seat in the undercarriage, which can be handy for shopping or for older children who like to sit and watch their surroundings.

Tandem pushchairs can be wider and longer than side-byside models. They are extremely versatile and can be adapted for use with most infant car seat. Some double buggy brands also include a rumble seat and bassinets for families that are growing. Some of the best-rated double push chair (cool training) buggy brands provide an array of configurations.

Another thing to think about is the weight of your chosen double buggy, especially in the case of one that can hold babies in the carrycot. Some of the top double strollers have ample capacity for both seats, and some even allow you to add a second seat to the frame.

It has air-filled tires as well as a great suspension. It can also be adapted for running. However, some parents complain that the rumble seat's cushioned back isn't as supportive and that the cup holders on the back of the seat aren't sturdy enough.

Another option that is a great choice is the Joovy twin umbrella stroller Xpand Car Seat Frame Double It is similar in design to some of our higher-end award winners. It is compact and can be used to accommodate infant car seats as well as toddler seats that can be converted to bassinets. This makes it perfect for twins as well as children of different age groups. It can even accommodate an additional seat by adding an additional rumble seat (sold separately).

A good budget option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, which is affordable and similar in design to some our higher-end award winners. It also can accommodate three seats with the option of a rumble chair (sold separately) and has an adjustable, reclining seats and a parent cup holder. It only has a weight limit of 50 pounds per seat. This means it is not suitable for tall children.

Comfortable seats

A good double pushchair with car seat will offer comfortable seats for your children. The seats should be padded and the harnesses easy to use. The straps should be simple to adjust for height, and the buckles shouldn't require two hands to tighten. They must be durable and strong enough to withstand repeated use. If the buckles can be difficult to operate, it could be unsafe. They should be replaced. The seats should be capable of recline and come with UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The reclining feature is great for babies who need to nap and older toddlers who want to sit and watch the world around them.

Tandem buggies are generally built as a single buggy, but have adapters that allow you to add a second seat. They generally have a narrower footprint than side-by-side strollers however, they might be too wide for some doors. These buggies can also be very heavy, and they are often hard to manoeuvre between kerbs.

On the other hand, side-by-side buggies are often smaller than tandem models. They are easier to navigate and can accommodate older twins. However, they are more expensive and might not be able to pass through all doors. The double bundle from Joovy is a good example of a design which can have seats that face each other either outwards or inwards. It can be used with infant car seats and comes with a bassinet, too.

The majority of the models that we tested only required one step to attach and detach the car seat from its frame. This is a huge benefit for parents who are constantly on moving and don't want to muddle through by completing multiple steps. Some models, such as the Doona or the BOB Revo Flex 3.0 Combo, come with an attachment with two steps, which involves clicking into place and strapping on. This extra step increases the risk of the car seat being fitted incorrectly. We also found that some of the strollers double had difficulty in adjusting the crotch strap or shoulder height, and the buckles for car seats were often difficult to operate.
