Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models - particularly 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 handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to 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 can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in just a few seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. With a price of just over P1,000 is a very affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you go to the grocery store or park. There are a variety of seats so that you can adjust them as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from a single seat to a double running buggy seat in a matter of seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are perfect for narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). They offer a generous basket and come with all the extras you might require, such as rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single to double stroller-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window, an upholstered toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests as well as cups holder for one parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be secured and removed with just one hand. The handle is easy to turn, making it simple to fold. It also stores with the backrest raised for easy access.
