Size

A spacious shopping basket as well as rear and front suspension are essential features to look out for in a double buggy. You may also want to think about whether it's a travel system or if you can add a carrycot or car seat. These are important considerations when you're planning to bring your kids in public transport or on longer journeys.

You should consider the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a small, double buggy you can use right from the time you are born. This side-by-side model features a clever frame that can be expanded so that it can accommodate two children. The seats have the option of recline and can be set up independently, giving you the choice of one child leaning back relaxing for a nap, while the other looks out at the world around them. There is also a huge UPF 50+ canopy and an option to peek inside.

Another great option for newborn twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side twin buggy pushchair on the market and only 63cm in width, it should fit through most doorways. It can also accommodate two car seats or one carrycot and has lay-flat seats that are suitable for babies from birth.

Tandem double buggies are very popular with parents of twins, or parents who have a baby and a toddler. They have a bigger footprint than single double stroller-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 has 30 different seating options. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy can be used for twins, a child and a toddler, or even three children when you add the iCandy 'PiggyBack board' (available separately). It has a soft suspension that makes light work of kerbs. It can be used in mono or double mode. You can also attach one stroller to the top for extra storage.

Weight

A great double buggy should be lightweight and easy to push. It should include an ample shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension to allow the child to maneuver through rougher terrain, and be suitable for twins as well as siblings of different ages.

Many double buggies are compact and include frames that can be used to store infant car seats. They also come with brand-name adaptors that fit the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option. It can accommodate twins or a baby and toddler, or two children using piggyback boards (which is required to be purchased separately). It has a self-standing fold and carry strap, making it super-easy to schlep, and has front and rear suspensions to help you cope with rougher terrain. It's a bit heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo but still lighter than tri-fold buggies and is a great value option for older children.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic choice for storing two strollers. This model is a side-byside and has a smooth fold. The frame expands as you fold it, making it more compact than the standard stroller. This makes it much easier to navigate through doorways and public transport, while it also means you don't need a second car for schlepping the buggy around.

It also offers a great range of configurations that include an elevated stadium seating area that gives each child a view of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake, which allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another good alternative. It has the smallest footprint side-by-side on the market measuring just 63cm. This makes it a great choice for parents who are worried about fitting an extra door for a double buggy from birth on public transport, and it is able to take on rough terrain like an off-roader. It can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or two kids with the same age, and each seat can recline independently to keep the kids comfortable.

One final good choice is the iCandy Peach, which can be utilized in tandem or mono mode and can accommodate a car seat/seats or an infant seat and carrycot. It's a bit longer than other doubles but it offers great maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces. It's a great option for those who are looking for an attractive but practical buggy.
