Size

In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. 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 provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep your eyes on them as you travel around the supermarket or park. There are many buggies that come with a variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify to your child's needs as they develop, and some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect 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 has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single-seater and may be too big to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested This buggy comes with seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats, so your kids can enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers love the way the seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten with one hand. It's also easy to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible, and stores with the backrest upright for easy access.

This is the perfect choice for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can hold twins with a toddler as well as three children when you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends it to children between the ages of 6 and 6.
