Size

Double pushchairs tend to be larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and the clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's also affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide selection of seating options, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

They offer a generous basket, and come with all the extras you might require, such as liners and rain covers.
