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 enables them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests but still offers plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops simple. It's also super-affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and a baby. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit into small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep track of your children and keep them safe when you're out at the supermarket or park. Many have a variety of seats so that you can adjust them as your child develops. Some permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors let you change from one seat to a double seat in a matter of seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great for narrow doors and aisles. They also can easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras, such as liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver up and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a one-seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.
