Double pushchairs are generally wider than single ones, especially when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width lets 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 and swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

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

Weight

The lighter the Double Pushchairs For Toddlers buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be mindful of weight, since it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight shops and supermarket aisles effortless. Just over PS1,000 is a very affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double stroller with bassinet buggy is a great option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can modify them as your child develops. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors let you convert from one seat to a double in just seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats as well as the standing fold is simple and quick to fold using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are great for narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you may need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit longer for getting through doors.
