The egg2 is a sleek and stylish buggy that can be used for either a single or double buggy. It comes with 2 carrycots/seats. It has 5 reclining positions for maximum comfort and is ideal for rougher terrain.
Side-by-Side
Parents who want to keep their children in close proximity and within view ought to consider twin pushchairs. They are also smaller than tandem strollers and easier to maneuver. However, they may not fit through some doors or hallways, so it’s important to check the dimensions.
The best twin pushchairs for side-by-side use are made from durable materials and have many features that allow you to adjust to your growing family. Most of them feature seats that recline to near flat and can be adjusted in different positions. This includes two different lying flat positions designed specifically for infants. There’s also plenty of storage space for your equipment and shopping. Some have a huge shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in a parent-facing mode, giving you easy access to items that your children require during your outings.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is a good example of an excellent side-by-side tandem pushchair. It’s the slimmest twin pushchair available and has a footprint that’s about the same size as the footprint of a single buggy. It’s also incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver over different terrains, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. It also comes with a large sun canopy and UPF 50+ fabric for maximum protection from the elements.
Another top side-by-side twin pushchair is Cybex’s Wave that has an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. It can be used as a double buggy since birth (and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots), and it even has a handy one-click fold that our Lab experts appreciate. Our test subjects also found it comfortable for children to ride in, and the seats are spacious with lots of legroom.
The UPPAbaby Vist v2 is a well-liked option for families with two babies or toddlers. It can be used with two infant car seats and is designed to grow along with your children. The two seats can be transformed into a stand-and sit configuration for older siblings. The seats can also recline to almost flat and have an enclosed cover that zips in for extra protection. The one-click folding system is simple and the suspension helps it to handle bumps and lumps.
Lightweight
The Graco DuoRider is a lightweight twin pushchair with an easy fold that will not make your car heavier.

It’s worth looking into a light twin pushchair that comes with additional accessories such as sunshades and rain covers to make life easier, especially when traveling. Parents will appreciate the convenience of cup holders as well as snack trays.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a stylish, compact city buggy. It’s great for public transport as well as shopping aisles. It can be used to transport twins, a baby and a toddler, or even three kids with the assistance of a ‘PiggyBack’-style board (sold separately for the price of PS120). It has front suspension to take on rougher surfaces as well. Its one-handed, stand-alone fold is easy to use and our lab experts appreciate the speed of its opening and closes. It also has a generous basket, with front and rear suspension to make it easier to maneuver on terrain that is difficult. The only downside is that its fabric isn’t as luxurious as the other options we’ve looked at. But, it’s still a affordable twin stroller.
Tandem
A popular option for twins and larger families, tandem twin pushchairs are a single pushchair that can be modified to hold two carrycots or infant seats, or a combination of both. This model is used by many double travel systems and is compatible with a wide range of car seats. This kind of pushchair is usually larger than a side-by-side model but it is easier to fit through doorways and on to public transport, particularly that have a step-through frame. A heavier weight may make it feel less stable as you go up kerbs and may require dismantling in order to fit into cars, however.
Some tandem buggy frames can also be used as a single frame with a ‘rumble seat’ added to the front, behind or underneath – perfect for growing children of different age groups. One such example is the iCandy Peach, which offers 16 seating options and an easy fold when it’s not in use. The Joolz Geo is another smart alternative for those who live in cities, while the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used with twins or a toddler and baby, with its “piggyback” feature that is added.
The iCandy Wave is also a great twin pushchair. It can be used either as a single with an infant in front, or as a double facing the parent with both children facing towards the rear. It is easy to fold in a single click and compatible with a variety of car seats. However, you’ll need to purchase adapters for those not made by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport is a stylish tandem stroller newborn with narrow dimensions that enable you to maneuver through tight spaces and shopping aisles and its all-wheel suspension and single swivel front wheels makes it a great off-roader for those rainy days out. The pushchair isn’t as light like other models, but it’s a budget-friendly option and comes with a variety of extras that rival brands sell separately. The seat is of a good height to ensure that children of a certain age can sit comfortably.
Convenient
Twin strollers (sometimes called tandem or duo strollers) are great for families that need to transport two kids of a similar age. Most twin strollers have side-byside seating, however some come in different configurations to allow you to select the most comfortable one for your family.
The Graco DuoRider is a great example. It features a single hand fold and comes with a variety of features for comfort that will please both children and parents. You can alter the recline, calf support, and canopy to meet your needs, which makes this an excellent choice for moms who are looking for a comfortable double pushchair.
It can be used with two car seats or carrycots. In mono mode, it is more compact and easy to maneuver through doorways and public transport. The iCandy Wave is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and can be customized by adding a variety of accessories to fit your individual style.
The innovative frame that expands in width and allows the seats to be placed and removed with just a single click was a huge success with our lab experts. They also appreciated how spacious it was, with a large shopping basket as well as rear and front suspensions to ease the way over bumps and uneven surfaces. They did find it slightly long in twin mode and, when using the two carrycots or seats both children have to face forwards, which may be an issue for some.
The Joolz Urban Glide is another great option for jogging that can be adjusted for use with just one or two kids in car seats. It has a big canopy that can be extended to give adequate coverage and it has a peekaboo feature, which both kids will love. It’s heavier than other models, but our lab experts noticed that it moved smoothly. It also offered plenty of storage in its undercarriage.
