Description:

The Britax B-Agile Double pushchair is a light, easy neat folding twin pushchair. It features the same quick fold design as the single B-Agile but it works better! The handlebar is adjustable which makes the B-Agile Double comfortable for parents of differing heights. The B-Agile Double stroller takes one car seat. There is good storage on the B-Agile Twin with easy access from all sides to the basket.

Pros:

Very light and easy to lift and carry. Neat folded and freestands well. Quick fold. One Britax car seat can be fitted. Quick release wheels. Large accessible shopping basket, and two large storage pockets. Locakable swivel wheels.

Cons:

The seating positions are not the best for toddlers.

Description:

The Babystyle Oyster Max is a stylish and smart looking single pushchair with a hidden secret. The Babystyle Oyster Max converts very easily into a tandem for two children with the addition of a second seat kit.The Oyster Max can take a carrycot and a choice of car seats, and in tandem mode, it can take a 2 car seats, 2 carrycots, 2 seat units or any combination of these - so great for twins or siblings. The Babystyle Oyster Max is one of the best tandems we have tested to date - superb to use, easy to manoeuvre and small folded!

Pros:

The Oyster Max is stylish and good looking. It is a single which transforms into a double easily. At approx 59cms wide, its also narrow for a tandem. The main seat can either parent or forward face. The second seat can forward face. The Oyster Max is a great twin option with a choice of two car seats, two carrycots or two seat units, or any combination of these. The Oyster Max works brilliantly and is easy to handle and use. Large storage basket. Great colours! Excellent value for money.

Cons:

The lower seat only has a small recline and a small hood.
The user may kick the carrycot when in the lower position, but users report they adjust their stride.

Description:

The Mutsy Evo is a fantastic pushchair! Lightweight, compact folding, easy to push with a good seat unit. Quality fabrics, a leatherette handle and attention to detail, all make the Mutsy Evo a really excellent pushchair but with a great price tag! The Evo can take a car seat or carrycot which makes it a great travel system suitable from birth.

Pros:

Excellent value for money. Quality fabrics and chassis with some interesting details. Easy to push and manoeuvre. Forward and reverse facing - easy to do. Small fold with the seat left on in either position. 4 position seat including a very upright position. Large basket. Several handle settings including very high and very low! Lined carrycot with mattress. Raincovers included. Seat is suitable from birth, but a carrycot is included. Can take a choice of car seats. A stroller board plus the long handle could make this a very good double option for a baby and toddler.
All round, this pushchair takes a lot of beating! Highly recommended!

Cons:

The basket is a little shallow at the rear - watch for things falling out. The top section of the handlebar is a long way from the pivot. Thus in the lower handle positions, the seat / child feels a long way away. Not an issue with the handle straight or higher.

iCandy Cherry v’s Babystyle Oyster

This is a photoset of the iCandy Cherry side by side with the Babystyle Oyster. For detailed information and reviews ...

Best Buggy rating:

Description:

The Babystyle Oyster Gem is a versatile 3 wheel pushchair which can be a travel system with the addition of a car seat. There is a carrycot option too. The Oyster Gem also has both a reversible multi-adjustable seat unit for a younger baby, plus a larger fitted reclining hammock seat which you swap over for an older child. The Babystyle Oyster Gem can also be customised with colour packs. The Babystyle Oyster Gem has a very small fold which is going to make it a great travel system when space is at a premium, or for carrying upstairs.

Pros:

The Oyster Gem is a small pushchair - small footprint and small fold. There are two seat options - the smaller seat for a 6 month+ baby which can parent or outward face. Once the baby outgrows the small seat, the larger fabricseat can be put onto the chassis outward facing which gives a roomy seat for a growing toddler.
Basket. Can take a carrycot and car seat. Lots of colour choices.

Cons:

3 wheeler which may not suit everyone. The basket is relatively small, but a good size for a small pushchair.
