Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards before buying it. The safety straps and the way that the seats adjust to your child's growth are crucial. Also, ensure that the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Also, look for a big storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other extras that might be useful like sunshades or rain covers.
If you plan to use your buggy mostly in towns or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. You'll also want to take into consideration the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded and whether it can be folded and fitted in your car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller villages and towns, make sure that the wheels are sturdy and grippy enough to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
