Size

double pram buggy pushchairs are typically more spacious 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 come with other key features that help them sit n Stand double Stroller out, such as generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be done with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter a off road double buggy-buggy is the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight shops and supermarket aisles effortless. It's also extremely affordable at more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is a great option for parents with twins or even a toddler and a baby. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety while you go to the grocery store or in the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can alter the seat as your child grows. Some permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors for car seats allow you to change from a single double stroller to a double in just a few seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as windows that peek out from both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and quick to fold using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are great to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins 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 the accessories you could require, such as liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a one-seater and can be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests, as well as an individual cup holder for parents. Testers are awestruck by the way the seats recline by pushing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with one hand. It's also simple to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible and also stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) this is a fantastic option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs as well as in the city. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
