Choosing a Double Pushchair With Car Seat

Double pushchairs are great for families with twins, or an infant and toddler. They are able to accommodate both children on the same seat, and also have the option of a carrycot, if required.

They can be configured in various ways and can fit through the majority of hallways and doors. They're a little bit longer than side-by-side buggies but are more sturdy and can be used on kerbs.

Easy to Manoeuvre

When it comes to choosing the ideal double pushchair for your family, there are a few things that you should consider. First, you must look at the size and weight of the pushchair, and also the mechanism for folding wheels, fabrications, and wheels. If possible, try to purchase a double pushchair and car seat from a reputable brand, as it will provide the highest resale value in the future.

There are two primary types of double pushchairs: tandem as well as side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies come with fixed seats that are placed in a row, side-by-side. they are suitable for twins or children of different age groups. However they are generally bigger than single pushchairs, and can be difficult to squeeze through some doors or narrow roads. In addition, they can also be long and heavy to push, especially when children are in car seats in the front.

Tandem buggies provide more flexibility, as they can be set up in various ways. One or both seats can be set forward or backwards. They are more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs, however they are more convenient to fold and maneuver. Many of them come with an enormous basket that can be used even when the seats are reclined.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is whether the double pushchair has a locking front wheel. This will make it easier to navigate difficult terrain and transitions and will ensure that your little ones remain safe and comfortable. You should also look at the amount of storage space that is available and if it is easily accessible, as this will be very useful when you have lots of shopping to do for two children.

Find out how easy the buckles and straps are to operate when buying a double stroller with car seat. Some have simple buckles that only require one hand for operation some buckles are more complicated and require two hands. Find out if the buckle has an padded strap for the crotch or a height adjustment for the shoulder. These features are crucial to keeping your child safe.

Easy to fold

It's important to think about how easy it is to fold and store a double pushchair which includes car seats. Even with children in every seat, the best double strollers fold down quickly and easily. They are also compact, making them ideal for city living or parents with a limited storage space.

There are two kinds of double pushchairs, tandem and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggys tend to be narrower than single strollers, making them ideal for manoeuvring in tight doorways and narrow walkways. However, they can be long and heavy, making them be difficult to get up hills or onto kerbs. Certain models include an additional seat in the undercarriage, which is useful to shop or for children who like to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Tandem pushchairs tend to be wider than side-by-side models, and can be quite lengthy too. They are extremely versatile and can be adapted for use with the majority of infant car seats. Some models also come with an rumble seat as well as a bassinet attachment for families that are growing. The top rated double buggy brands can offer an array of designs, and some even have seats that can be reversible so you can change the seating direction according to your preferences.


Another thing to consider is the weight of your chosen double buggy, particularly in the case of one that can hold babies in a carrycot. The best double pushchairs have a high capacity for both seats and some will even allow you to add a third seat onto the frame (although this isn't suitable for all babies).

Be sure to look for features like recline options, reversible seating and leg rests that can be adjusted to help your children get comfortable. Some of the best double strollers will have a parent tray built in it, which is a great spot to keep your keys and phone. They'll typically have at minimum two cup holders as well as an ample basket to store all your shopping. You'll find some models with suspension and a foot break, which can make moving the twins easier, particularly over uneven terrain.

Easy to store

Choose double strollers that fold compactly. They are generally a bit bigger than single buggies but they can fit through standard doorways and take up less space in your car or boot. Some models even come with a carry bag to make storage much easier.

An excellent option is the UPPAbaby Vista Double. It has a side-by-side seat layout, and offers a variety of seating options with two infant car seats (car seats and adapters sold separately), as well as the bassinet attachment. It also comes with a huge storage basket with UPF 50 and rain canopy, telescoping handlebar and comfortable seats. You can also add a riding board to let a third child join in on the fun.

There are a variety of other options to consider too. The Jeep-branded TwinRoo+ is a good option for outdoor enthusiasts because it can be used as a single or double buggy with a pair of rumble seats (extra kit needed). It has a fantastic suspension and air-filled tyres. It can be used for running, which isn't always the case with double pushchairs. However, some parents find that the padding on the back isn't that comfortable and the cup holders on the back of the seat are flimsy.

Another great option is another option is the Joovy Twin Xpand Car Seat Frame Double that is similar to the design of some of our higher-end award winners. It folds down compactly and can accommodate both toddler and infant car seats that can be modified to serve as bassinets making it ideal for twins or children with different age groups. It can also hold a third child seat with an additional rumble seat.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an affordable option that's similar to our award-winning models. It also has room for a third seat with a rumble seat (sold separately) and features an adjustable, reclining seats and a parent cup holder. It has a weight capacity of 50 pounds per seat, which means it might not work for children who are taller than.

Comfortable seats

A double pushchair with the car seat is a good choice for children. The seats should be cushioned and the harnesses easy to use. The straps should be simple to adjust to height, and the buckles should not require two hands to fasten. They must be durable and strong enough to withstand the repeated use. If the buckles are difficult to operate, they could be unsafe and must be replaced. The seats should also be able to recline easily and come with UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The reclining feature can be used by young babies to nap or older toddlers to observe the world around them.

Tandem buggies are generally built as a single buggy, but have adapters that let you add an additional seat. They have a smaller footprint than side by side strollers but are too large for some doorways. These buggies can also be very heavy, and are typically difficult to maneuver between kerbs.

On the other hand side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than tandem models. They are easier for twins to maneuver and can also accommodate older siblings. However, they are more expensive and may not be able to be able to pass through all doors. The joovy double bundle is a good example of a design that can have the seats facing one another, inwards or outwards. It can be used with car seats for infants and comes with a bassinet, too.

Most of the models we tested featured a one-step procedure for attaching and removing the car seat from the frame. This is a huge benefit for parents who are constantly on the move who don't want to muddle through by completing multiple steps. Some models, such as the Doona and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, come with a two-step attachment that involves pressing in place and then attaching straps. This extra step increases the likelihood of the car seat being fitted incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch or shoulder straps, and some buckles for car seats are difficult to operate.
