# Best Double Pushchairs UK | Clever Mum > Best double and twin pushchairs in the UK — side-by-side and tandem models compared for twins, siblings, boot fit and pavements. * [ Home ](/) * › [ Reviews ](/reviews) * › Best Double Pushchairs UK Best-of buying guide # Best Double Pushchairs UK [ HW ](/authors/hannah-wright/) By [ Hannah Wright ](/authors/hannah-wright/) · Reviews Editor Published 12 August 2026 Quick answer — What is the best double buggy for twins in the UK? The best double pushchair for most UK twins or close-age siblings is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 if you want side-by-side flexibility and resale, or the Joie Evalite Duo if you need a tandem that actually fits a pavement and a boot. Expect £300–£1,800. Measure the door, the boot and the aisle of your supermarket before you buy a side-by-side. Who should skip this Skip this if you have one child — a single plus a board or a second compact is cheaper. Skip it if your hallway cannot take 75cm of width.

Side-by-side (twins at the same height, wider) versus tandem (front-and-back, longer, narrower) is the decision that matters. Most UK terraces and Tesco aisles punish width; most UK boots punish length. Measure both. ## What is the best double pushchair in the UK? The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is the best side-by-side for twins you will keep for years — it expands from single to double and holds resale. The Joie Evalite Duo is the best tandem for most budgets and most boots. The Out n About Nipper Double is the one if you actually walk trails, not just the school run. There is no double that is both narrow and short; you pick a problem. ## Should you buy side-by-side or tandem? Side-by-side is fairer for twins (same view, same weather) and a nightmare in shop aisles and on buses. Tandem fits doors and is lonelier for the child in front or back. If your hallway is under 80cm, tandem. If you want both children looking out and you have a wide boot, side-by-side. Close-age siblings often prefer tandem so the older one can climb in last. ## Can you convert a single pushchair instead? Sometimes. The iCandy Peach and a few others convert with kits; most singles do not, whatever the forum thread says. A ride-on board is for a toddler who can stand, not a second baby. If a second baby is likely within two years, it is cheaper to buy a convertible or a dedicated double now than to own two full-size singles. See the [single pushchair guide](/best/best-pushchairs-uk/) for convertibles. ## Who should skip a double altogether? Skip it if the age gap is over about two and a half years — a single plus a compact or a carrier is lighter and cheaper. Skip a side-by-side if you live in a terrace with a 70cm door. Skip the category if you mostly drive and the children will sit in car seats; a double that only does the supermarket car park is a lot of money for a short walk. **How we chose**Width, length, from-birth options for two, boot reality and whether owners still use it at 18 months. Commission never affects the order. Prices checked 12 August 2026. ## Which products made the shortlist? Best overall ### 1.Bugaboo Donkey 5 From £1,345 9.5 /10 The expandable side-by-side that starts as a single and grows a second seat when you need it. Expensive, wide, and the double UK parents still sell on for serious money. The basket between the seats is the feature you will brag about. #### Pros * +Single-to-double without buying a second chassis * +Best-in-class resale in the double category * +Carrycots and seats mix on the same frame #### Cons * –Wide — measure every door * –Premium price before the second-seat kit [ Check price at Bugaboo* ](/out/bugaboo-direct/) [ Check price at John Lewis* ](/out/john-lewis-nursery/) [ Check price at Natural Baby Shower* ](/out/natural-baby-shower/) [ Check price on Amazon* ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Bugaboo+Donkey+5+pushchair&tag=clevermum0c-21) Best tandem value ### 2.Joie Evalite Duo From £300 9.2 /10 The tandem most UK twins actually end up in: narrow enough for a pavement, light enough to lift into a boot, from-birth rear seat, and a price that does not require a second mortgage. It is not a Donkey. It does the school run. #### Pros * +Narrow tandem that fits doors and buses * +From-birth rear seat on the standard spec * +Light for a double — boot-friendly #### Cons * –Front seat is not as plush as premium tandems * –Not a trail pram [ Check price at Argos* ](/out/argos-baby/) [ Check price at Boots* ](/out/boots-baby/) [ Check price at Kiddies Kingdom* ](/out/kiddies-kingdom/) [ Check price on Amazon* ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Joie+Evalite+Duo+tandem+pushchair&tag=clevermum0c-21) Best all-terrain ### 3.Out n About Nipper Double From £599 9.1 /10 The British side-by-side that treats a canal towpath as a normal Tuesday. Air-filled tyres, a proper basket, and a width you must measure. If you walk, this is the double; if you mostly drive, it is overkill. #### Pros * +Genuine all-terrain wheels and suspension * +Built for British weather and paths * +Strong UK spare-parts story #### Cons * –Wide side-by-side — not a bus pram * –Heavier than the Evalite [ Check price at Out n About* ](/out/out-n-about/) [ Check price at Natural Baby Shower* ](/out/natural-baby-shower/) [ Check price on Amazon* ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Out+n+About+Nipper+Double+pushchair&tag=clevermum0c-21) Best premium tandem ### 4.iCandy Orange Twin From £1,199 9 /10 iCandy's twin tandem with the brand's usual carrycot story and a narrower footprint than a Donkey. The one you buy if you want two carrycots, a boutique fold and you have already measured the boot twice. #### Pros * +Two from-birth carrycots in the twin spec * +Narrower than most side-by-sides * +iCandy resale and accessory ecosystem #### Cons * –Long tandem — measure the boot with the shelf in * –Premium price [ Check price at iCandy* ](/out/icandy-direct/) [ Check price at Natural Baby Shower* ](/out/natural-baby-shower/) [ Check price at John Lewis* ](/out/john-lewis-nursery/) [ Check price on Amazon* ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=iCandy+Orange+Twin+pushchair&tag=clevermum0c-21) Best narrow side-by-side ### 5.Mountain Buggy Duet From £699 8.9 /10 A side-by-side that is famously only a little wider than a single — the one people buy when they want twins side-by-side without Donkey width. Independent seats, a serious fold, and a cult following among UK twins groups. #### Pros * +Side-by-side without typical side-by-side width * +Independent recline for each child * +Robust enough for daily miles #### Cons * –Still check every doorway — "narrow" is relative * –Heavier than a tandem lightweight [ Check price at Natural Baby Shower* ](/out/natural-baby-shower/) [ Check price at Kiddies Kingdom* ](/out/kiddies-kingdom/) [ Check price on Amazon* ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Mountain+Buggy+Duet+double+pushchair&tag=clevermum0c-21) Best folding double ### 6.Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double From £450 8.7 /10 A side-by-side with a one-hand fold that actually stands, all-wheel suspension, and a reputation as the double you can still get in a hatchback. Not from-birth without accessories; excellent once both children sit. #### Pros * +One-hand fold rare in doubles * +Suspension that copes with kerbs * +Often discounted on Amazon and nursery sites #### Cons * –Sitting-age unless you add a newborn kit * –Wide for buses [ Check price at Argos* ](/out/argos-baby/) [ Check price at Kiddies Kingdom* ](/out/kiddies-kingdom/) [ Check price on Amazon* ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Baby+Jogger+City+Mini+GT2+Double&tag=clevermum0c-21) ## How did we choose these products? We build every shortlist the same way: we map the whole UK market for the category, weight the specifications that change daily life (not the ones that look good in adverts), cross-reference sustained buyer feedback across multiple retailers, and sanity-check prices across the retailers we link. Retailers cannot pay to appear, and commission never affects rankings. Prices were verified on the "last reviewed" date and will drift — always confirm on the retailer page. ## What UK safety standard should you check? **UK standard: BS EN 1888-1 and -2.** The British/European standard for wheeled child conveyances — stability, brakes, harness strength, folding-mechanism entrapment and durability testing. * ✓ The listing or label cites BS EN 1888 compliance * ✓ A five-point harness with a crotch strap, and brakes that lock both rear wheels * ✓ A UK or EU manufacturer/responsible-person address on the product or box Check live UK recalls before buying: [ gov.uk product recalls & alerts ](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/product-recalls-and-alerts) · Read our guide to [ dangerous baby products sold online ](/baby/dangerous-baby-products-online-uk/) . ## What questions come up most? What is the best double buggy for twins in the UK? The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is the best side-by-side if the budget stretches. The Joie Evalite Duo is the best tandem for most twins on a normal UK pavement and boot. Measure your door before you choose width over length. Is a tandem or side-by-side better? Tandem is better for narrow halls, buses and shop aisles. Side-by-side is better for fairness and for twins who want the same view. You cannot have both narrow and short — pick the constraint that would make you leave the pram in the car. Can I use a double pushchair from birth? Yes if both seats or carrycots are rated from birth and lie flat. Many tandems only have a from-birth rear seat. Check the bundle: two carrycots, or one carrycot plus a lie-flat seat, is what twins actually need in month one. ## Which other buying guides should you read?
