EXPLAINED: 10 best double prams tested by a parenting writer - The Real Truth

I tested each pram for manoeuvrability, ride comfort, quality and price - (Anya Meyerowitz/The Independent)

As every parent knows, life with children (joyous though it is) requires a lot of heavy lifting, both physically and mentally. And nobody knows this better than those who have to push a baby back up the hill from the shops or nursery, all while carrying a sleepy toddler; except perhaps the parent has nearly given themselves whiplash trying to keep their eyes on whichever child isn't strapped into the buggy on a family day out. Enter: the double buggy.

For the modern family, this is not a luxury purchase; it is a critical piece of infrastructure. The right double buggy is the difference between a cherished day out with the family and one we wish we could wipe immediately from memory. Whether navigating crowded city pavements, managing a train carriage with luggage, or simply surviving the daily school run, the functionality of a dual-seater quickly proves its worth as the ultimate parental lifeline.
