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 news is that this extra width lets them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other key features that make them stand out, like generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles cups with a single parent holder, a smart fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy side by side buggy is the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be cognizant of weight, since it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering tight shops and supermarket aisles simple. With a price of just over P1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

A well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the park or shopping. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can alter them as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great illustration. It can be used to hold two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert a single seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats as well as the standing fold is quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great for navigating narrow aisles and doors.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater twin pushchair and may be a bit longer to pass through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened or unfastened in one hand. The handle is easy to turn making it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on kerbs and in the city too. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.
