Stability

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children of the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver around narrow doorways and shopping aisles. In this case it is best off with a stadium-style model such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to face you or each other depending on the configuration.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs, but they're not as stable as single strollers double strollers and car seats. They can be difficult to climb up from curbs, and they may not have as much storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

In order to get a good feeling for the stability of a double, it is important to test it out with both seats on because that is the way you will be using it the most often. Check the ease with which it is for you to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes too because they may be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double pram stroller stroller is a great example for lightweight and comfortable double stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with a peekaboo feature. Both seats can be reclined to different positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be made to lay flat so a newborn can sleep on the carrycot over it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo which naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other side is an excellent feature. The fact that it can be folded in just one hand is an amazing feature, especially when you're responsible for two children.
