Size

In general double pushchairs are larger 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 lets them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The heavier a double buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight. It's the lightest of our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes navigating tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. It's also affordable at just over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy that converts to single buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for navigating tight spaces, while side-byside models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide selection of seating options which allows you to alter the seat as your children develop, and some offer the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors allow you to change from one seat to a double strollers in merely seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are great for narrow doors and aisles. They also can easily accommodate twins and a large kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They come with a large basket, and come with all the accessories you may require, such as rain covers and liners.

tandem double stroller buggies are usually made with your kids sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a one-seater and can be too big to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've test. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also features a large UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and an upholstered toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as an integrated cup holder for a single parent. Testers are awestruck by how the seats recline individually by squeezing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten with one hand. It's also a doddle to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and can be stored by putting the backrest up for easy access.

This is the perfect choice for families that want to grow with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can carry twins, a toddler and three children with the 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on kerbs and in the city too. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children between the ages of 6 and 6.
