It is a great suspension model and air-filled tyres. It can even be adapted to running, which isn't always the case with double pushchairs. However, some parents find that the rumble seat's padding on the back isn't that comfortable and the cup holders for the child's seatback are flimsy.

A thule double stroller twin pushchair from birth that also includes a car seat is a great choice for children. The seats must be padded and the harnesses must be easy to use.

They typically have a narrower footprint than side-by-side strollers however, they might be too wide for some doorways. They can also be quite heavy and typically difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Side-by-side buggies, on the other hand are usually smaller than tandem models. They are simpler for twins to handle and can be adapted to older siblings. However, they are expensive and may not fit through all doors. The joovy double bundle is an excellent example of a model which can have seats that face each other, inwards or outwards. It can be used with infant car seats and includes a bassinet too.

The majority of the models that we tested only required one step to connect and remove the car seat from its frame. This is a major plus for parents on the move and don't have the time to juggle several steps. Some models, such as the Doona and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, feature an attachment with two steps that require clicking in place and putting on straps. This extra step increases the likelihood of the car seat being set up incorrectly. We also observed that a few strollers had trouble making adjustments to the crotch strap as well as shoulder height, and the car seat buckles were sometimes difficult to operate.
