Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key characteristics that make them stand out, like generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that can be done by 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 fairly well.

In terms of cost they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can alter them as your child develops. Some even permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.

They come with a large basket, and come with all the accessories you could require, such as rain covers and liners.
