Size
In general
double pushchair with car seat pushchairs are generally wider than single models - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever 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 quite well.
These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it will be to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless. It's also 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 an excellent option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the eye on your children and keep them safe when you're out at the park or shopping. There are a variety of seats so that you can alter the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from one seat to a double seat in a matter of seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to make and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are great to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). They come with a large basket and come with

Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long to get through doors.
Comfort
This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, so your children can enjoy the view. It also features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, an upholstered toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests and cups holder for one parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened or unfastened with one hand. The handle is simple to twist and makes it easy to fold. It also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and double single
twin pushchair from birth (

The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children between the ages of 6 and 6.
