Size

Double pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. 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 plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in just a few seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. With a price of just over P1,000 It's also a great value stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. Many have a variety of seat configurations so you can adjust them as your child grows. Some permit the addition of the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Hauck Roadster Duo SLX - Twin Chair for Twins - Ultimate Comfort and Convenience is a perfect example. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert one seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy, adjustable leg rests and windows that peek out from both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform with 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 perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is large and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies typically have children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They are larger than a one-seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. It's also simple to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board) This is a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension makes it ideal on streets and in cities too. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends it to children from 6 to 12 years old.
