Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models - especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width lets them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also have other important features that help them stand out, including generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and the clever fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double pram and pushchair-buggy is the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles effortless.

Flexibility

A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and keep them safe while you go to the grocery store or in the park. They also come with a wide selection of seating options, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow, and some even have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great illustration. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors let you change from a single seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as windows that peek out from both seats and a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. They are perfect for narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They come with a large basket and come with all the accessories you could require, such as rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and Www.pushchairsandprams.Uk leg rests, as well as an integrated cup holder for a single parent. Testers love how the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten using just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be, and stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a "PiggyBack" board) this is a fantastic option for families that are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well as in the city. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for kids between the ages of 6 and 6.
