Size

A large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions are the most important aspects to look for in a double buggy. You may also want to consider whether it's a travel system or whether you can add a carrycot or car seat. These are important considerations when you're planning to bring your children on public transport or on longer journeys.

This side-by-side model features a clever frame that expands in width to allow it to accommodate two children. The seats have the option of recline and can be positioned in a different way, which gives you the choice of one child leaning back relaxing for a nap, while the other is looking out at the surrounding. The seats also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy as well as an option to peek inside.

You can even attach a single stroller on the top of the unit for extra storage space.

Weight

A great double buggy should be light and easy to push. It should also have spacious shopping baskets, front and rear suspension to allow it to maneuver over rough terrain and, ideally, be suitable for twins or siblings of different age groups.

A lot of compact double buggies have frames designed to fit infant car seats and come with branded adaptors to match popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are a great option for families with children with medical conditions and want to avoid having to use separate strollers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the most compact double stroller (Atw wrote in a blog post) on the market. This is the slimmest side by side available at 53cm in width and can be used for twins in the newborn stage or even one toddler and one baby. It is built to last with a sturdy design and a superior function and large air-filled tires that can be used on all terrains but are also able to go about the city.

Another great option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can accommodate twins or one baby and one toddler or two kids, with piggy back boards (which you'll need to purchase separately). It has a carry strap that is self-standing and can fold to make it easy to transport. It also has front and back suspensions to help you deal with rough terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but lighter than the majority of trifold buggies. This is a great option for older children.

Folding

A good double buggy needs to be slim for storage. A ideal choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This model is a side-by-side and has a smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, which means it's narrower that one stroller. This makes it much easier to navigate through doorways and public transport. It also means you don't need a second car for schlepping the buggy around.

It's a great choice for parents who have twins since it can be utilized in duo or mono mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also hold an additional passenger on the buggy's "piggyback board, and provides a great range of configurations, including an elevated stadium-style seating option that allows both children views of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar has a handbrake that allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another great alternative. It has the smallest footprint side-byside available with a footprint of 63cm. It is ideal for parents who worry about fitting a double inside a door or on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain and be an off-roader. It can be used for twins or a toddler and one or two children with similar age. Each seat can recline independently, ensuring that the children are able to sit comfortably.

Another option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in mono or tandem mode and can take 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot and a toddler seat. It's a bit longer than other doubles, however it has excellent maneuverability particularly on smooth surfaces. This is a great choice for those looking for a stylish and practical buggy.

If you're looking for a budget there are plenty of affordable double buggies available, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This small side-by-side can accommodate infants in a carrycot or a toddler in the seat, or three children if you add the PiggyBack ride on board branded with some pizazz. It has an easy-to-stand fold, a huge canopy that provides protection for both children and the ability to peek inside. It's also fairly light for a double buggy and includes a larger undercarriage storage basket to store shopping.
