What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says that the side-byside is small enough to fit through the majority of doors and accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It comes with a self-standing folding mechanism and handy carry straps that make it easy to move.

It's also lightweight to carry and wheel up/down stairs. The canopies are spacious with windows and openings that peek out.

Size

Double buggy features that you should consider include the large shopping basket, front and rear suspension and an incredibly sturdy frame. You may want to look at whether it is an e-travel system, or whether a car seat or carrycot is possible to add. Those are important considerations if you need to take your children on public transport or longer journeys.

If you're looking for a compact double buggy that you can use from birth look into the Leclerc Kooper X2. This side-byside model comes with a clever frame that expands widthways so that it can accommodate two children. The seats have an option to recline and can be set up independently, which gives you the choice of one child leaning back and relaxing for a nap, while the other one gazes out at the surrounding. There is also a huge UPF 50+ canopy, as well as an option to peek inside.

Another great option for infant twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest twin umbrella stroller twin pushchair from birth available on the market. It is only 63cm in length and should be able to pass through most doors. It can also accommodate two car seats or one carrycot. It also has lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double push chair buggies are very popular with parents of twins or with a baby and a toddler. However, they tend to have a wider footprint than single-seaters and can be difficult to manoeuvre on narrow streets or through doorways.

The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy that has been designed to grow with your family, with 30 different seating options. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy can be used for twins or a child and a toddler, or even three children when you add the iCandy 'PiggyBack board' (available separately). It comes with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs simple to navigate. It can be used in either mono or double mode. It is also possible to attach a single stroller to the top of it to provide additional storage space.

Weight

A great double buggy should be lightweight and easy to push. It should include an ample shopping basket, front and back suspension to allow the child to navigate more difficult terrain, and also be suitable for twins as well as siblings of different ages.

Many double buggies are compact and include frames that can be used to hold infant car seats. They also have branded adaptors that fit the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. They are a great choice if you have younger children with medical needs and you want to avoid having to use separate strollers.

They tend to be wider than buggies that are side-by-side and are difficult to fit in doorways or on public transport. Review the product's details for alternatives if this is important to you and your family.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the most compact double stroller on the market. This is the slimmest side by side on the market at just 64cm wide. It can be used by newborn twins or one baby and one toddler. It's a sturdy design and a superior function and large air-filled tires that are suitable for all terrains, but also happy to zip around town.

Another great option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can carry twins with one baby and one toddler or two kids, with piggy backboards (which you'll need to purchase separately). It has an adjustable carry strap that can stand on its own and folds down to make it easy to move around. It also comes with front and back suspension to assist you in navigating rough terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but lighter than the majority of trifold buggies. This is a great choice for older children.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic option to store a double buggy. This model is a side-byside and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands as you fold it, making it smaller than a single to double stroller stroller. This makes it easy to get around doorways and on public transportation, and it also means that you don't require an additional vehicle to transport the buggy around.

It's a great choice for parents who have twins as it can be used in a mono or duo mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can hold an additional child on the 'piggyback board of the buggy. It also has an array of configurations, including elevated stadium-style seats to give both children the view of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake, which helps to push the buggy up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another good alternative. It has the most compact footprint side-by-side available, measuring 63cm. This makes it ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting a double through doors and on public transport, and it can still handle rough terrain like a true off-roader. It can be used to carry twins or a toddler and baby or two children with the same age, and each seat reclines independently to keep the kids comfortable.

The iCandy Peach is a good alternative. It can be utilized in a mono mode, and can be used with two car seats, or a carrycot and a toddler seat. It's slightly longer than other doubles, however it has excellent maneuverability especially on smooth surfaces. This is a great choice for those looking for an attractive and practical buggy.

There are a variety of affordable double buggies, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This compact side-byside can fit a newborn in the carrycot, a toddler in the seat, or even three children if you add the PiggyBack ride on board that is branded with the pizazz. It has a simple, self-standing fold as well as a large canopy that offers both kids some protection and includes a peekaboo window. It's also relatively light for a double buggy, and includes a larger undercarriage storage basket for shopping.
