Best Double & Twin Buggies UK
Double buggies split mainly on configuration — side-by-side versus tandem — and that choice affects both width and how children experience the ride together. Out n About's Nipper Double V6 (£725) and Mountain Buggy's Duet (£699) are both side-by-side designs built deliberately narrow so they still fit through a normal front door, with both children riding forward-facing at the same level — the Nipper adding genuine all-terrain tyres and suspension for parks and off-road use, the Duet a simpler single-action fold aimed at pavement use. Ickle Bubba's Venus Prime (£349.99, the cheapest by a wide margin) takes the same side-by-side layout even wider, without suspension or all-terrain tyres, built for pavements and shops rather than rough ground.
Baby Jogger's City Select 2 (£899) and iCandy's Peach 7 Double (£1548) are both tandem designs with a narrower folded footprint than any side-by-side here — the City Select genuinely modular with over a dozen seating configurations, though the second seat is sold separately, adding roughly £200-240 to the total; the Peach 7 converts from a single to a double within one chassis, at a real premium for its ride quality and finish.
Bugaboo's Donkey 5 Twin (£2100, by far the priciest) is the only buggy here built specifically for twins from day one, with two bassinets included as standard and both children riding side by side at eye level — but it's also the widest here, worth checking against your doorways and gates carefully.

The verdict
For everyday narrow-doorway use, Out n About's Nipper Double V6 is the strongest all-rounder if you want genuine all-terrain capability, or Mountain Buggy's Duet if pavement use is all you need. On a tight budget, Ickle Bubba's Venus Prime covers the essentials for under half the price of anything else here, provided you're not expecting off-road performance. If you want a narrower fold and don't mind buying seats separately as your family grows, Baby Jogger's City Select 2 is the most flexible tandem, and iCandy's Peach 7 Double is worth its premium for genuine ride quality. Only choose Bugaboo's Donkey 5 Twin if you specifically need two bassinets from birth and can accommodate its width.
