Why we chose it

We chose the Baby Jogger City Mini Double as the best side-by-side double pram as it is extremely well reviewed across a number of websites and has a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia from nearly 100 online reviews.

Baby Jogger is a popular brand for prams and the City Mini Double is a fantastic choice if you prefer your kids next to each other.. Despite having room enough for two, it's incredibly compact and able to fit through standard doorways. It also features a quick-fold system that makes life easy when it's time to get back in the car or stow the pram away at home.

The Baby Jogger City Mini Double can be adjusted to near flat so it is suitable for newborns. It also comes with a SPF 50 sun cover and is ideal for the active parent who likes to squeeze a bit of exercise into their day.

We chose the UPPAbaby Vista as the best tandem double pram as it has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating on Product Review from nearly 300 online reviews. It was also selected as a Product Review winner for 2019.

This attractive looking pram is ideal for a growing family with a full-size reversible toddler seat. However, what makes it such a great option is the fact that it allows both children to have a full view, rather than one stuck behind the other. It also features an effective storage basket, not often possible on a tandem pram. It is easy to apply the brake, it folds in a flash and comes with an extendable sun canopy.

This model will see you through many different stages and at a time when you have a lot of extra luggage, it will make your life just that little bit more easy-going and super stylish.

For this category, we selected the Redsbaby Jive 3, which has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating on Product Review from over 2,500 online reviews.

This pram converts easily from a single version to a lightweight tandem double, which means you can still push your tired toddler around, even with a newborn in tow. It comes with a bassinet attachment that fits underneath that has been approved for overnight sleeping.

The pram is easy to manoeuvre over multiple terrains with front wheels that either swivel or can be locked in place. The streamlined design allows easy folding to pop in the car or pack away at home. It offers an extra large canopy to protect kids against sun and wind, as well as a host of accessories such as a baby bag and reversible liner.

This is the perfect pram to consider when baby number two is on the way as it will keep both children happy and comfortable, despite their age gap.

Why we chose it

We chose the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand KONA double stroller as it has been highly reviewed across a number of websites with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on Amazon America from 140 online reviews.

This lightweight, streamlined pram is ideal for a growing family as it offers multiple uses. While it can be used as a single pram, it can later accommodate a child in the stroller with a sibling sitting on the bench or standing. Strong in build, it is able to hold two children of up to 22.7kg each. Plus there's plenty of room for storage with an extra large expandable basket that carries up to 13.6kg of all those necessary bits and pieces or grocery shopping you do along the way.

The pram is designed to offer your little ones comfort, with multi-position reclining and superior padding. It also has a long removable canopy with sun protection for those hot summer days.

Overall, this is the ideal double pram when one of your kids is a growing toddler, looking for a little more independence in life.

Why we chose it

For the best double pram for twins, we chose the Babybee LUNA as it has a 4.9 out of 5 star rating on Product Review from over 220 online reviews. It has also been selected as a Product Review winner for 2020.

This is a great choice for parents of twins as it offers extra-large side-by-side seats so they can see each other as well as where they're going. However, each seat can be adjusted according to each child, in case they have different napping habits. It's incredibly easy to manoeuvre and fit into shops, cafes and supermarkets, plus public transport. It is also compact and folds up easily to fit into the boot of the car.

Many online customers have commented on the functionality, ease and comfort of this pram, particularly being a double side-by-side version. One parent of twins said that this pram made a huge impact on their life as it's comfortable for the babies, it lays flat when folded and travels well on all surfaces. Not only that, they found it affordable and stylish to look at.

Seating options

Double strollers have three seating options: side-by-side, tandem and a single seat with a toddler add-on. Sit-and-stand strollers are also available for those with a baby and a child old enough to stand for the duration of the journey.

The right seating option for you depends on the age gap between your kids.

• If you have twins or kids less than one year apart: Side-by-side or tandem stroller.
• If your kids are more than one year apart: Side-by-side, tandem, single seat with toddler add-on or sit-and-stand stroller.

Type	Suitable for	Pros	Cons
Side-by-side	2 babies 2 toddlers 1 baby + 1 toddler	Allows you to see both kids at once Fits in most car boots Both seats are the same, which eliminates sibling squabbles over wanting to get the "best" seat	Wide and heavy Difficult to move through narrow aisles and doors Hard to carry up steps onto a kerb
Tandem (or inline)	2 toddlers 1 baby + 1 toddler	Narrower than side-by-side models Easy to move through doors and supermarket aisles	Most models don't fit in smaller car boots Difficult to see into the back seat Not suitable for newborn twins
Single seat with toddler add-on	2 toddlers 1 baby + 1 toddler	Can be used with or without the toddler seat attachment	Unsuitable for newborns, as toddler seats can't fully recline Can be heavy and bulky with the added toddler seat Tips over more easily than other stroller types
Sit-and-stand	1 baby + a 3-5 year-old	Narrow Lightweight Easy to maneuver and fit into a car	Has smaller wheels that are not suitable for bumpy surfaces or rough terrains Older sibling may be unhappy to stand the whole time

Stroller types

Once you have chosen your seating style, you need to decide which type of double stroller suits your needs and lifestyle best.

Type	Best for	Pros	Cons
All-terrain	Durability	Suitable for neighbourhood strolls, hiking trails and bumpy surfaces	Heavy and bulky Expensive
All-purpose	Balance	More durable than umbrella strollers	Not as sturdy as all-terrain models
Jogger	Active parents	3-wheel design makes it easy to go running with the kids	Expensive Not as many choices available
Umbrella	Travel	Compact, foldable and lightweight Fits easily in a car boot	Less durable Unsuitable for newborns and bigger preschoolers
