The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side seating, meaning that your kids can see each other and you can keep an eye on them, meaning you're less likely to misinterpret them. It is also the slimmest available. This means it will fit through most doors and is able to maneuver around tight corners. However, it is long and heavy to push when it's in double mode, and doesn't do as well on uneven or rough terrain as some of our other top-quality double buggies.

It folds down into a compact, self-standing shape and comes with a handy carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not as big or as well-made as some of the other top-quality doubles, however it's an excellent value overall.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller is safe before purchasing it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to your child's growth are vital. Also, make sure that the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Look for large storage baskets as well as pockets and other accessories you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you are planning to use the buggy primarily in towns or on public transport, make sure it is lightweight and easy to move. You'll also want to think about the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded and whether it can be folded up and put in the car boot. If you are using the buggy often in small towns or villages ensure that the wheels have plenty of grip and are able to navigate narrow pavements and doors.
