Size
Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width lets them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key characteristics that make them stand out, including spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

Weight
The lighter a double buggy is the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. double travel buggy '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 well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep your eyes on them as you navigate the supermarket or the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children develop, and some come with the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat and its adaptors that are easy to use allow you to change from a single to a double in just a few seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.
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, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras including liners and raincovers.
Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting close to each other. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too big to fit through doors.
