Size

In general, double pushchair pushchairs double are wider than single models - particularly when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles, a cup holder for 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 well.

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

Weight

The lighter the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue.

A well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and allow you to keep your eyes on them as you travel around the supermarket or park. There are many buggies that come with a range of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children develop, and some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert one seat to a double in just minutes. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). The basket is large and comes with all terrain double stroller the extras, such as raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies typically have children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a one-seater and can be too big to fit through doorways.
