Bombi Twin
“The budget side-by-side that pushes like strollers twice its price”
Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
Nuna DEMI Next
- Stacked seat design puts weight over rear tires, making it push 'a thousand times better' than elongated tandems (Destination Baby & Kids)
- Base $950 price includes both seats, car seat adapters, and rider board for a third child (Destination Baby & Kids)
- Compact footprint navigates tight store aisles that longer tandem strollers cannot (The Stroller Mom)
- Under-seat storage basket completely disappears when using the lower child seat (The Stroller Mom)
- Fold requires fully removing the lower seat, and the folded stroller is heavy at 36 lbs (The Stroller Mom)
- Upper seat canopy cannot fully extend without hitting the child in the lower seat (The Stroller Mom)
Bombi Twin
- Best-in-class push in the budget side-by-side category, outperforming the Zoe Twin and Strolee (The Stroller Mom)
- Holds two infant car seats simultaneously from 15 different brands, rare at this price (The Stroller Mom)
- One-handed auto-fold stands upright on its own for easy trunk loading (The Stroller Mom)
- Heaviest in its budget class at 28 lbs compared to 22-23 lb competitors (The Stroller Mom)
- No lower footrest for older toddlers, kids rest feet on the metal frame bar (The Stroller Mom)
- Does not fit through standard doorways with twin car seat adapters attached (The Stroller Mom)
The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
The Nuna DEMI Next wins because it solved the fundamental problem with tandem double strollers: they handle terribly. Destination Baby & Kids explained the engineering clearly. Traditional tandems like the Cybex Gazelle stack children front-to-back on a long frame, putting a heavy toddler directly over the front swivel wheels. That makes the stroller fight you on every curb and turn. The DEMI Next stacks vertically instead, keeping both children's weight over the rear tires. Gina from Destination Baby & Kids said it pushes "a thousand times better" than the Gazelle as a result.

Bombi Twin
The Bombi Twin wins the value pick because it delivers the best push in the budget side-by-side class at half the price of premium alternatives. The Stroller Mom tested it head-to-head against the Zoe Twin V2 and Strolee Double, and the Bombi won on ride quality right out of the box, no upgrade wheels required.
