Size
Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, especially when they are side by side double stroller-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis.

Weight
The lighter a double-buggy is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating tight shops and supermarket aisles easy. 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 double buggy is a great option for parents with twins or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you go to the grocery store or in the park. Many have a variety of seat configurations so you can adjust them as your child grows. Some allow you to add an automobile seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can hold two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats permit you to switch from a single to a double infant stroller in just a few seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.
