Double buggies have become essential infrastructure for modern families, transforming chaotic outings into manageable adventures. After hands-on testing with children from newborns to four-year-olds, we've identified the top models that balance comfort, manoeuvrability, and storage.
The Joie Estrella stands out for its cavernous basket—twice the size of most rivals—and easy-access design. Its seats recline to 15 positions with a single pinch motion, and the whole buggy folds in seconds. Suitable from birth without a bassinet, it prioritises convenience over frills.
Bugaboo's Donkey 5 Duo, favoured by royalty and celebrities, offers side-by-side seating for twins or close siblings. At 74cm wide, it fits through standard doorways and allows seats to face each other, encouraging interaction. Its premium build inspires confidence, even on chaotic days.
Other tested criteria included steering ease, one-hand folding, strap safety, and adaptability for small cars or narrow hallways. Whether you choose side-by-side, in-line, or convertible designs, the right double pram can be a parental lifeline.
