When comparing different off road double buggy pushchairs, think about the weight of the frame, seat and suspension.

Look for seats that have several recline positions, as well as adjustable calfrests. These are often operated by a single-handed button located at the rear of the seat. (Though in our tests, it can be fiddly for small-handed parents). Some of the best double strollers also come with a large UPF50+ sun canopy, magnetic peekaboo windows and a handy hood extension that protects your child from harmful UV radiation.

Convertible Doubles

You can save money by purchasing a pushchair that converts from single mode to dual mode as your child develops.

Our labs loved how simple it is to change between configurations and found the instructions clear and easy to follow - even though it can take some practice to get it all out of the box.

Some double pushchairs permit you to seat your children in a row and are generally world-facing. However there are some notable exceptions like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which can be configured with both front and parent facing (though this will increase overall chassis width). Kerb popping is usually easier with a tandem but getting through narrow doors and shopping aisles can prove an issue at times.
