Size
Double pushchairs are generally larger than single ones, especially 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. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier a double buggy is the more easy it will be to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great option for those who are concerned about weight. issue. It's got plenty of features like the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front, which allows you to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. 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 double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins or even a toddler and a baby. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating narrow spaces, while side by side models will keep your children well-cared for and help you to keep your eyes on them as you travel around the supermarket or the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can modify them as your child develops. Some allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats let you change from a single to a double in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows on both seats and an easy standing fold that is quick and easy to do with just one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). They come with a large basket and include all the extras you might require, including liners and rain covers.
Tandem buggies typically have your children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to pass through doorways.
