Size
In general double stroller for twins pushchairs double are generally 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 carry heavier kids 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 as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that can be done with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy is the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo windows and a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops.

Flexibility
A good double pram pushchair buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-by-side models keep your children accounted for and will help you keep your eyes on them as you go to the grocery store or park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations, so you can adapt to your child's needs as they develop, and some come with the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can be used to support two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double stroller with bassinet in merely seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows on both seats as well as a standing fold that's quick and easy to do with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you may need, including rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies usually have your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to pass through doors.

It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy with a windows that peek out, an upholstered toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as an integrated cup holder for one parent.

The handle is easy to turn making it easy to fold. It also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.
