What to Look For in a Compact double pram pushchair Buggy

Kerry says this side-byside is light enough to pass through the majority of doors and be used with two car seats or carrycots. It folds up self-standing and handy carry straps for easy schlepping.

It's also lightweight to carry and wheel up and down stairs. The canopies are large and have peekaboo windows.

Size

A spacious shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions are essential features to look out for in a double seat stroller buggy. You might also want to think about whether it's a traveler or if you can add an infant car seat or carrycot. These are important considerations when you have to take your kids on public transport or longer journeys.

If you're looking for a compact double buggy that converts to single buggy that you can use from the beginning take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2. This side-by-side model has an innovative frame that can be expanded so that it can accommodate two children. The seats have a recline option and can be set up independently, giving you the choice of one child leaning back relaxing for a nap, while the other one gazes out at their surroundings. The seat comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy that has the option of a peekaboo window as well.

Another great option for infant twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side twin pushchair available and only 63cm wide so can fit through the majority of doors. It can also take two car seats or a carrycot. It also has lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies are popular among parents of twins or parents with a baby and toddler. They have a bigger footprint than single-seaters and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is an extremely popular tandem that can expand with your family. It offers 30 different seating options. It can be used with twins or a baby and a toddler or even three kids if you add iCandy's "PiggyBack" board (which you can purchase separately). It is equipped with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs easy to navigate. It can be used in single or nipper double buggy mode. You can also attach one stroller to the top to store additional items.

Weight

A quality double buggy is lightweight and easy-to-push. It should come with a large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions that allow the child to traverse more difficult terrain, and also be suitable for twins and siblings of different age groups.

Many compact double buggies come with frames that are specifically designed to accommodate infant car seats and come with branded adaptors to match popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are great choices when you are looking to avoid having separate strollers for younger children with medical issues.

They are typically larger than buggies that are side-by-side, and are harder to squeeze into doorways and on public transport. If this is important to you, check the product details to see whether there are alternatives available.

If you're looking to find the tiniest double pushchair on the market take a look at the Mountain Buggy Duet. It's the slimmest side-by-side available, measuring only 63cm in width.

It offers robust engineering and high-quality performance with air-filled tyres, which are all-terrain but equally comfortable cruising around the city.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can accommodate twins or one toddler and one baby or two kids, with a piggy back board (which you need to buy separately). It comes with a self-standing fold and carry strap, making it a breeze to transport and has front and rear suspension to help you cope with rougher terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but less heavy than trifold buggies. This is a great option for older children.

Folding

A good double stroller with car seat stroller needs to be compact for storage. A ideal choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This model is a side by side and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, making it narrower that the standard stroller. This makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transportation, while also making it less necessary to have an additional vehicle.

It's a great option for parents of twins as it can be used with two seats, and car seat adaptors. It can also hold another rider on the buggy's 'piggyback board, and provides an array of configurations that include an elevated stadium seating to give both children views of their surroundings. There's even a handbrake built into the adjustable handlebar which makes it easier to push it up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another great option. It has the most compact footprint side-by-side on the market, measuring 63cm. It is perfect for parents who fret about fitting a double into a door or on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain and be a true off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or two kids who are the same age and each seat can recline independently to make sure the kids are at ease.

The iCandy Peach is a good alternative. It can be utilized in a mono mode, and can accommodate 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot with the option of a toddler seat. It's slightly longer than other doubles but it offers excellent manoeuvrability, particularly on smooth surfaces. It's an excellent option for those looking for a stylish but practical buggy.

There are numerous inexpensive double buggies available, like the UPPAbaby vista 2.

It has a simple self-standing fold as well as a big canopy that provides the kids some protection and also has a peekaboo window. It's also quite light for a thule double stroller stroller, and has a large undercarriage basket that can be used to store your shopping.
