From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They can be side-by-side or convertible models that are inline.

Stability

If you have twins or children close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations that it can be a challenge to choose the right one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or fit a third seat when you add on a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable, double tandem pushchair though?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for transporting children of the same age. They aren't easy to navigate through narrow doors or aisles of shopping. In this situation you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother depending on their setup.

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they're not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can be a challenge to lift up curbs and they could have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place, since that's how you'll be using it the most. Test how easy it is to maneuver and steer the vehicle, especially in tight turns or with the front wheels that can swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes as well, as they can be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.

One seat can be made to lie flat so that babies can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, which makes it harder to navigate crowded footpaths or narrow shop aisles.
