Size
In general, double pushchair from birth pushchairs are wider than single models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width lets them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other important 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 shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, a smart fold mechanism that can be done one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of cost, these types of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
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 still loaded with plenty of features like an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window, 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 wheels at the front that makes it easy to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's priced at just over $1000, 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 stroller with car seat buggy that is well-designed can provide a lot of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for navigating tight 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 travel around the supermarket or park. Many have a variety of seats so that you can adjust the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can hold two seats or a car seat, and its easy-to-use adaptors allow you to change from a single to a double running buggy in seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.
Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories including liners and raincovers.
Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated close to each other. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit longer to get through doors.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats, so your kids can have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests, as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. The handle is easy to twist, making it simple to fold. It also stores with the backrest raised for easy access.
This is the ideal choice for families that want to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and three children with a 'PiggyBack board'. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs as well as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children ages 0-6. of six.
