If you're looking to purchase twins or simply require something smaller, there are lots of options available out there. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that rival brands cost extra for. It is very compact and folds up to take up a small amount of space in your boot.

The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market though and, at 63cm, it's the same width as the single pushchair. It's easy to pass through doors and into public transportation. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will adapt to your growing family - it can be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are ready to sit side by side.

The suspension is great for rough terrain, and its adjustable height handle makes steering simple. It's great for older children, as the seat is elevated in a stadium style.

It can also accommodate a third child with a piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension makes it easy to manoeuvre through town and on rough terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-byside model that's extremely lightweight and has a tiny footprint. They can be easily moved around with the seats on. However, they do require a bit more muscle to get over kerbs, and can be trickier on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem, but can also be used as a single buggy due to its clever frame that can be expanded widthways, and an adjustable height handle, which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you reside in a tiny town or village and have narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy in which the child sits behind the other instead of sitting next to them, as this makes it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Many of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a wide range of of seats, carrycots and car seats. They are a great option for families with twins, or siblings with similar ages. But, it's essential to verify the specifications of any model you're interested in.

There are two kinds of double buggy: tandem and twin. In tandem the seats are placed on top of the other. The primary benefit of a twin buggy is that your children will be able to interact instead of having to take turns or argue over who gets the prime spot. However, twins tend to be wider and may be difficult to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly shorter however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable when bouncing up kerbs, and may require dismantling to fit in your car boot. Recline-based seats are now a fairly standard feature on most double buggies. So, ensure that the model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for parents and children are the most comfortable. Look out for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat can do and if the seats are adjustable independently so that you can adjust to your child's needs as they develop. Check the weight limit, and if they both have a hood or sun canopy that protects from rain and wind.

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another smart choice that gives you more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It starts out as a single pushchair, but you can add a second seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame using adaptors, which gives you a wide range of seating options. It's smooth to steer, has a great suspension, and Lab experts really liked the ease of fold. You just pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire thing collapses in half in a matter of seconds.
