Size

In general double infant strollers pushchairs are larger than single models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width lets them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, like large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 sit and stand double stroller windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and an innovative 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 quite well.

In terms of price tags 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 move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels on the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also super-affordable at just 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 fantastic option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-by-side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow. Some offer the option of adding a 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 change from one seat to a double running buggy in merely seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are perfect for navigating narrow doors and aisles. 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). They offer a generous basket and include all the accessories you may require, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies usually have your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to fit through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight doubles that we have examined. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also features a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, an upholstered toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as a cup holder for a single parent. The testers love how the seats recline by pushing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten using just one hand. It's also easy to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible and can be stored with the backrest upright for Compact double stroller easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families that are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as in the city. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.
