\n| UPPAbaby Vista V2 + RumbleSeat<\/td>\n | Side-by-side, modular single-to-double<\/td>\n | Vista from around \u00a3900, RumbleSeat sold separately<\/td>\n | Full-size bassinet plus an add-on second seat for a growing family<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nHow Do Our Top Double & Tandem Pushchair Picks Compare in Detail?<\/h2>\n1. Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo Complete, from around \u00a31,530<\/h3>\nThe Donkey 5 is the pushchair a lot of growing families end up wanting once they’ve compared everything else, because it genuinely expands from a single pushchair into a full side-by-side double, and the newborn side takes a proper flat carrycot. Storage is huge, the ride is smooth on kerbs and pavements alike, and the build quality feels every bit as premium as the price suggests.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> converts from single to double, excellent carrycot for newborns, huge underseat basket. Cons:<\/strong> a serious investment, and at close to 80cm wide it needs a generous doorway. Price:<\/strong> from around \u00a31,530, though it’s frequently discounted.<\/p>\n2. Out n About Nipper V6 Double, typically \u00a3800-\u00a3900<\/h3>\nBuilt by the brand best known for rugged all-terrain single buggies, the Nipper V6 Double keeps that same DNA in tandem form. Both seats recline independently, so a sleeping newborn and an awake toddler can each be comfortable at the same time, and the air-filled tyres make it genuinely usable on parks and gravel paths, not just pavements.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> purpose-built for newborn plus toddler, independently reclining seats, capable off tarmac. Cons:<\/strong> longer than a single buggy, so it needs more room to turn in tight shops. Price:<\/strong> typically \u00a3800-\u00a3900 depending on colour and bundle.<\/p>\n3. Mountain Buggy Duet V4, typically \u00a3650-\u00a3700<\/h3>\nThe standout pick if your hallway or front door is the deciding factor. The Duet V4 is a side-by-side pushchair engineered to be exactly as wide as a single buggy at 63cm, so you get equal seating for both children without the usual doorway headache that comes with side-by-side designs.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> genuinely narrow for a side-by-side, suitable from birth with the compatible carrycot, same manoeuvrability as a single. Cons:<\/strong> still an investment piece, and two full-size seats mean it’s not the lightest to fold and lift. Price:<\/strong> typically \u00a3650-\u00a3700.<\/p>\n4. Baby Jogger City Select 2, from \u00a3899 (2in1 bundle)<\/h3>\nA modular system rather than a fixed double, which suits families who aren’t sure yet whether they’ll need two seats permanently. It starts life as a single 2-in-1 pram system, and a second seat unit can be added on when a toddler needs to hop back in alongside a new baby.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> highly configurable, works as a single or double, multiple seat positions. Cons:<\/strong> the second seat is sold separately, so the full double setup costs more than the headline price. Price:<\/strong> from \u00a3899 for the 2in1 bundle, with the second seat unit sold separately.<\/p>\n5. Hauck Duett 2, typically \u00a3250-\u00a3300<\/h3>\nA tandem built specifically around the newborn-plus-toddler scenario rather than same-age twins. The front seat converts to take a newborn from birth, and the rear seat is designed to be added once your second child is around 6 months and sitting up unaided.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> genuinely affordable for a tandem, front seat is birth-ready, lightweight aluminium frame. Cons:<\/strong> the rear seat isn’t usable from birth, so it’s not the right pick for twins. Price:<\/strong> typically \u00a3250-\u00a3300.<\/p>\n6. Ickle Bubba Venus Max Double, mid-range<\/h3>\nA dependable side-by-side option with two independently adjustable seats, each rated from birth up to 15kg. It comes with a full-length raincover and footmuffs as standard, which is a nice touch for a pushchair at this price point.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> equal seating for both children, generous shopping basket, well equipped out of the box. Cons:<\/strong> as a side-by-side it’s wider than a tandem, so check your doorway before buying. Price:<\/strong> mid-range, sitting between the budget tandems and the premium convertibles on this list.<\/p>\n7. Joie Evalite Duo, \u00a3199 (RRP \u00a3240)<\/h3>\nOne of the lightest and most compact tandems around at just 10kg, with a one-hand fold that makes it genuinely easy to get in and out of a car boot. It’s also among the narrowest options here, which makes it a sensible pick for anyone regularly navigating tight London pavements or older housing stock.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> very light for a double, compact fold, budget-friendly price. Cons:<\/strong> smaller seats than the premium options, and the rear child sits lower. Price:<\/strong> \u00a3199, reduced from an RRP of \u00a3240.<\/p>\n8. Graco Stadium Duo, typically \u00a3150-\u00a3200<\/h3>\nThe most affordable genuine double pushchair on this list, and still a sensible choice rather than a compromise. At just 56.5cm wide it steers almost exactly like a single pushchair, and the stadium-style seating raises the rear seat slightly so the back child isn’t staring at the front seat’s headrest all day.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> the narrowest and most affordable option here, stadium seating for a better rear view, accepts two infant car seats for travel system use. Cons:<\/strong> doesn’t feel as plush or padded as the pricier picks. Price:<\/strong> typically \u00a3150-\u00a3200.<\/p>\n9. UPPAbaby Vista V2 + RumbleSeat, Vista from around \u00a3900<\/h3>\nNot a fixed double out of the box, but one of the most popular “grows with your family” systems in the UK. The Vista starts as a single pram system with a full-size bassinet, and the RumbleSeat clips on as a genuine second seat once you need it, whether that’s for a toddler alongside a new baby or two under three.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> premium bassinet for newborns, RumbleSeat adds real flexibility, strong resale value. Cons:<\/strong> the RumbleSeat is an additional cost on top of the Vista itself. Price:<\/strong> Vista from around \u00a3900, with the RumbleSeat sold separately.<\/p>\n |

<\/a>Before you start comparing individual models, it’s worth understanding the two fundamentally different ways a double pushchair can be built, because this decision matters more than any single spec on the page.<\/p>\n
