Size
In general double stroller with car seat pushchairs are generally wider than single to double buggy models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to carry heavier children without straining their 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 as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; a one-parent cup holder and a smart fold mechanism that can be done with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy, read this post from Univ Tebessa, is, the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in just a few seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's also affordable at just over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A good double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether 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 will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or the park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can modify the seat as your child grows. 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 hold two seats or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a cheap double buggy in merely seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are ideal for narrow aisles and doors. They are also able to accommodate twins or a child and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories like raincovers and liner.
tandem double stroller buggies typically have children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long to pass through doorways.
Comfort

It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests and cups holder for one parent.

It's also easy to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.
