Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket. Size In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models – especially when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other important characteristics that make them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but handle city streets and theme parks quite well. These lightweight side-by-side buggies have surprisingly low price tags. 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 an excellent option for those who are concerned about weight. issue. It still has many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in just a few seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores.

Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and will help you keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can alter them as your child develops. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board. The Joie Evalite duo is a great illustration. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from a single to a double in a matter of seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.

They offer a generous basket and include all the accessories you could need, including rain covers and liners. Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs.
