Size
In general double buggy with carrycot pushchairs are generally wider than single models - particularly 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 canopies that come with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.
In terms of price tags, these types of lightweight twin stroller, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy is the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be aware of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. 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 that is well-designed can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are great for navigating narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. Many have a variety of seating configurations, so you can modify them as your child develops. Some allow you to add an automobile seat or ride-on board.
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 convert from a single seat to a double in just seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats and the standing fold is quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow aisles and doors while they can easily hold twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). The basket is generous and comes with all the extras like liners and raincovers.
Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting side-by-side. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver up and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; and an individual cup holder for parents. The testers love how the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten with one hand. It's also simple to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible and also stores with the backrest upright for easy access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) This is a great option for families who are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for youngsters up to the age of six.
