Stability

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow doorways and shopping aisles. In this instance, you might be best to go with a stadium-style model such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to be facing either you or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models, which put one behind the other, are more manageable but still not as stable than single strollers or child car seats. They can also be tough to climb up curbs and could have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a good feeling for the stability of a double, you need to try it out with both seats in use, as this is how you will be using it most often. Check how easy it is for you to maneuver and steer the vehicle, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes as well because they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are in use.
