Size

strollers double strollers pushchairs are typically more spacious than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, such as generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots like shopping aisles a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in just a few seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels on the front, which makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops.

Flexibility

A good double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small double stroller spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children develop, and some have the option to add a ride-on board 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 make it easy to convert from a single seat to a double in just seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; the standing fold is simple and quick to fold with one hand; and a premium suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. 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 spacious and comes with all the extras like raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit longer to pass through doors.

It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as a cup holder for one parent.

The handle is simple to twist making it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest up to make it easy to access.
