Size

Double pushchairs are generally 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 lets them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also have other important features that make them stand out, like spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as shopping aisles; cup holders for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and 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 a great choice if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels on the front, which allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's priced at just over $1000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the eye on your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seating configurations, so you can alter them as your child develops. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from a single seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats; an easy standing fold that is simple and quick to fold with one hand; and a high-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are great for narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a larger child by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). The basket is large and includes all terrain double buggy the accessories including raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children seated side-by-side. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight doubles that we have tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, an upholstered toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as a cup holder for a single parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be secured and unfastened in one hand. It's also a doddle to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy access.

This is a great option for families that want to develop with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can accommodate twins with a toddler as well as a baby or three kids if you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on kerbs and in the city too. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
