Safety
Verify that the
double stroller meets all safety standards prior to buying it. The safety straps and the way that the seats adjust to the growth of your child are crucial. Also, check if the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Also look for a spacious storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other extras that are useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you are planning to use your buggy mostly in the city or on public transportation, you should make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. Also, you should consider the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded, and whether it can be folded up and put in the car boot. If you drive the buggy often in villages or small towns, make sure the wheels have plenty of grip and that it can negotiate narrow pavements and doorways.
