Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that competitors cost extra for. It is very compact and folds up to take up a small amount of space in your boot.

Side-by-side buggies can be great for keeping your children in a single place but they tend to be bigger than a single buggy which makes them difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same as the single pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and on public transport. It's compatible with all kinds of car seats and can expand with your family - it can be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are old enough to sit side-by-side.

The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height makes steering a breeze.

Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a compact footprint, making them easy to fit through doors and on public transport, and you can often store them with the seats still attached. They require more effort to push them over kerbs, and can be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces.

If you live in an area with narrow streets, consider a cheap double stroller stroller that has the child sits behind their companion, rather than beside them.
