Size

Double pushchairs are typically larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width lets them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that help them sit n stand double stroller out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; a one-parent cup holder and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. With a price of just over P1,000, 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 double buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies are great for navigating narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can modify them as your child grows. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can fit 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 seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as windows that peek out from both seats; the standing fold is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate 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 large and comes with all the extras, such as raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too big to fit through doors.
