Size

double seat stroller pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that stows flat within minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's also affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed small double stroller buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-by-side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use allow you to change from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect for 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 generous and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting together. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats, so your kids can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened or unfastened with one hand. The handle is easy to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised to make it easy to access.

This is the perfect choice for families looking to grow with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can carry twins with a toddler as well as three children if you add a 'PiggyBack board'. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension makes it ideal on kerbs and in the city too. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children from 6 to 12 years old.
