The Silver Cross Pop Sport Duo is a good looking twin buggy with matching accessories making a great value package. An one hand umbrella fold double side by side stroller. Suitable from birth with independent hoods and reclining seats backs. A practical all round pushchair.
Easy to set up. One handed umbrella fold. Raincover, smart looking footmuffs and head huggers are included in price. Lightweight. Useful pockets on the hoods. Good for shopping, walking on pavements or going across grass in the park. Large hoods.
No middle handle making one handed pushing difficult (eg through a small gap or holding a child's hand). The two small shopping baskets are hard to access particularly with the seats reclined. Supposedly suitable from birth but the seats don't lie completely flat. In theory should fit through a standard door frame (76.2cms) but it depends how well the door opens. Can be bulky to store.

I bought this double for the arrival of my second son – there’s 19 months between the two – as I had a coachbuilt Silver Cross, which is fab, so it’s a brand I trust. It’s easy to fold and fits in a small car boot, with carry handle. Good positioning for new born – flatter than a car seat/travel system and a nice padded seat. Great accessories included – raincover, 2 x footmuff/coseytoe, 2 x headhugger & shoulder pads.
I find that, due to the width of side-by-side, access to places can be limited, which includes getting around inside the shop once you’ve negotiated the door.
My older son is a big boy and I thought the seat looked a bit pokey, but he hasn’t complained and fits surprisingly well (seats on side-by-sides are smaller than single buggies).
The only other issue I found was that the brakes are temperamental/quite difficult to get on properly – I’ve had to run after it in car parks = not good.
The absence of a middle handle has never bothered me, but my mum has commented when using, that it’s easier to have one with 3rd handle.
I thought it good value for money, it’s kept well and I’ve not been disappointed.
