Size
In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.
These lightweight side-by-side buggies come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The lighter the double buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a peekaboo windows, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. 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 well-designed double buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the track of your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can hold 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 just a few seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats; an easy standing fold that is simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you may need, including rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair and can be a bit long to pass through doors.
Comfort
This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as an integrated cup holder for one parent. Testers are awestruck by the way the seats recline by pushing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten using just one hand. The handle is simple to turn, making it simple to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest up for easy access.
This is a great option for families that want to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins with a toddler as well as three children with the 'PiggyBack board'. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs as well as in the city. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
