The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for transporting children of the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow doors and shopping aisles. In this situation, you may be better off with a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which put one behind the next, are more manageable but still not as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can also be difficult to get up curbs and could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats seated, since that's how you'll use it the most. Check the ease with which it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, especially in tight corners or using the front wheels that can swivel. You should also test the brakes, as they might be difficult to use if both child seats have been attached.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller that can do it all look no further than the Phil & Teds Sport Double.

One seat can also be made to lie flat, so babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot attached above it.

Other excellent features on this model include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup holder and pouch as well as the simple braking system and the reversible seat liner that is naturally antibacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it with one hand, which is a big benefit when you have two young children to watch.

Side-by-side models tend to be more expensive than tandem buggies, however they offer the most flexibility because they are designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors.

It's easy to fold and fits through many doors. The basket that is under the carriage is also taller which makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is also covered, which means your child will be warm during winter.

A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in stores or busy walking routes. However, it is easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, especially when your child weighs more.

An inline double pushchair on the other hand is a better choice for most families. It can usually be used as a twin pram if your children are young, but can also convert into a tandem once they're older. Some of these models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can be used with two i-Size vehicle seats, giving you maximum flexibility and value for money.
