Size

In general, double pushchairs are 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 carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren’t built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The heavier the double strollers buggy, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be mindful of weight, since it’s the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes navigating tight shops and supermarket aisles easy. It’s also extremely affordable at over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional’sidepack’.

Flexibility

A double to single buggy buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety when you’re out at the park or shopping. They also come with a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow. Some offer the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors make it easy to change from a single seat to a best double stroller in just seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; a standing fold that’s simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby’s “PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras like raincovers and liner.

tandem double stroller buggies are typically designed with your children sitting close to each other. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we’ve tried, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so that your children can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers love the way the seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten with one hand. It’s also simple to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it’ll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a ‘PiggyBack’ board) This is a great option for families who want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as as for use in cities. It’s also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it to children up to six years old.
