Size

Double pushchairs tend to be larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other important features that help them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These buggies that are lightweight double stroller are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features like the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in 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. It's priced at just over $1000 It's also a great value twin umbrella stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and a baby. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-by-side models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep your eyes on them as you travel around the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can alter them as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent illustration. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to convert a single to double buggy seat to a double in just minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. They are perfect for navigating narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins or a child and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all terrain double stroller the accessories you could require, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies usually have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to pass through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried This buggy comes with raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent.
