Our mum tester, Hannah, said: "Without a doubt, I would recommend this pushchair to other parents. I couldn't believe how easy it was to set up and use. If you are a mum who wants a simple pram for popping out and about this is it. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that more expensive pushchairs have, like deep padding or the ability to use it for just one child. However, it is gentle on the bank balance and comfortable for short journeys. My boys often had naps in the pushchair and did not seem to find it comfortable."

Designed in collaboration with Billie Faiers as part of her signature range, the My Babiie Billie Faires MB11 Grey Chevron Double Stroller is trendy, convenient and affordable. It has the capacity for newborns with adjustable reclining seats so babies can lie flat on their backs and is easy to fold down to store away.

One review said: "We bought this for the odd trip out with two grandkids. It’s ok for the price but a little on the flimsy side but you get what you pay for. Very pleased with it for the price and suits our needs. Kids love it. Nice and light, Folds up and down very easily and takes up very little space when folded."

An easily affordable twin stroller, the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller is a fantastic option.

One customer wrote: "I love this twin stroller! It's so quick and easy to put up and collapse back down - it's even easily manageable to hold a baby in one arm while doing so! It collapses down flat enough to easily fit behind the boot seats of my 7-seater car as well. Good manoeuvrability, comfy for the children. Excellent value for money."

The Red Kit Push Me Double Stroller is lightweight, smart and easy to fold down. Its slimline frame means it easily fits through doorways, which is ideal for public transport and getting the kids where they need to be. It has multi-recline positions too and lockable front swivel wheels.

One review said: "So happy with my purchase. It is a bit wider and struggle to get in and out of the front door. Could not find anything better for the price I paid. Good sturdy stroller." Another customer wrote: "I bought this for my twin boys to take them to school and so far, it's serving the purpose."

Available in different funky designs, the Woosh Double Fairy Tale pram has loads of fantastic features and it also takes up to 22 kg, meaning it's a pram that will truly grow with them. Including pop-off wheels that are easily washable, this double stroller is easy to keep clean. 

One customer wrote: "I am so impressed with this stroller, it's perfect for my twin toddlers! They love the print on it and love when we go for walks now. It's so lightweight and folds down really well making it great for travel and storage. It has lots of storage perfect for days out and it pushes with ease. Cute extras are the bell and little windows in the hoods so I can still see them!"

The Baby Jogger City Mini 2 has a modern, slimline and aesthetically pleasing design. As well as being lightweight, manoeuvrable and compact, it also takes a weight of up to 22 kg. Ideal for running errands around a busy city, it's both a stylish and practical option for getting where you need to be.

One customer review said: "This is the best double stroller I've tried, it's so easy to fold and has lots of space for my nearly 3-year-old so imagine that it will last me another few years. The hoods are huge and offer lots of protection for my 9-month-old. I love the easy to get to pockets on the back of each seat for my purse and phone too. I would definitely recommend this stroller, but it's definitely not a jogging stroller as it doesn't have enough suspension for off-roading"

The Ickle Bubba Venus Double Stroller has a compact, one-step fold technology, UPF 50+ sun canopy, ventilated roll-up fabrics and many more features that make it a great valued double stroller. It also has easy-to-use recline functions and large quilted seats for your children's comfort.

Our parent tester said: "As a mum of almost 2-year-old twin girls, I’ve used a fair few other double pushchairs now and I have to say, the Ickle Bubba Venus double stroller was a pleasant surprise! I think when it comes to any baby/toddler products, price is always an indication as to quality however the lower price point of the Ickle Bubba Venus certainly didn’t equal low quality."

Priding itself on the super slim chassis, the My Child Easy Twin Double Stroller with 2 Carrycots is easy to manoeuvre, fold down and travel with due to the fact it also has available options for adding carrycots or a travel system. Meaning, that you're able to cater to siblings of different ages or even twins, making it so much easier to get around.

One customer wrote: "Got this buggy 5 weeks ago and I'm loving it. It's really easy to get through doorways and around the shops with its narrow frame. My 8 month old twins are really happy in it. Easy to fold and not too heavy to lift. Only downside is there's no bumper bar at the front. Really happy with my purchase. Great value too"
