It's also very lightweight to carry and wheel up and down stairs. The canopies are large and have peekaboo windows.

Size

A good-sized shopping basket and front and rear suspensions are essential elements to look for in a double buggy. It is also advisable to think about whether it's a traveler or the possibility of adding an infant car seat or carrycot. Those are important considerations if you're planning to bring your kids on public transport or on longer journeys.

If you're looking for a compact double buggy that you can use from birth take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2. This side-by-side model has an innovative frame that expands widthways to allow it to accommodate two children. The seats have a recline option and can be set up independently, giving you the option of one child leaning back and relaxing for a nap, while the other looks out at the surrounding. The seats also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy, as well as the ability to peek into the future.

Another great option for newborn twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest twin pushchair on the market. It measures just 63cm wide and should fit through most doors. It can take two car seats or a carrycot, and comes with lie-flat seats suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies are popular among parents of twins, or parents who have a baby and a toddler. They have a bigger space than single-seaters, and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a well-loved tandem that will grow with your family. Push Chairs And Prams offers 30 different seating options. The iCandy Orange tandem buggy can be used for twins or a child, toddler, or even three children when you add the iCandy PiggyBack board (available separately). It is equipped with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs simple to navigate. It can be used in either mono or double mode. You can also attach one stroller to the top for extra storage.


Weight

A good double buggy is lightweight and easy-to-push. It should also have nice-sized shopping baskets, a rear and front suspensions to make it easier to maneuver over rough terrain and, most importantly it should be suitable for twins or siblings of various age groups.

Many compact double buggies have frames that can be used to support infant car seats. They also come with branded adaptors that match the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are great options if you want to avoid using separate strollers for younger children with medical issues.

However, they do generally have a bigger footprint than side-by-side buggies and are more difficult to fit through doorways and on public transport. If this is important to you, make sure to check the product details to see if there are any alternatives available.

If you're looking for the most compact double pushchair available look into the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side by side available at 64cm wide. It can be used by twins who are just born or one baby and one toddler.

It folds up with a self-standing design and carry strap that makes it a breeze to transport and comes with rear and front suspension to help you deal with the rough terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but less heavy than trifold buggies. This is a great choice for older children.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic option for storing the double buggy. This model is a side by side and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, making it smaller than a single stroller. This makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and public transportation, as well as making it less necessary to have a second vehicle.

It also offers a wide range of configurations including elevated stadium-style seats to give both children the view of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake that allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another great option. It has the smallest footprint side-byside on the market with a footprint of 63cm. It is perfect for parents who worry about fitting a double inside the doorway or on public transport. However it is still able to tackle rough terrain as an off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and an infant, or two children who are the same age. Each seat reclines independently, so children are comfortable.

The iCandy Peach is a good alternative. It can be used in tandem or mono mode, and can accommodate 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot and a toddler seat. It's slightly longer than other doubles, however it has excellent maneuverability especially on smooth surfaces. This is a great choice for those looking for a stylish and practical buggy.

If you're on a budget, there are plenty of affordable double buggies to choose from such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This compact side-by-side can hold infants in a carrycot or even a toddler in the seat, or three children if you include a PiggyBack ride on board branded with pizazz. It comes with an auto-standing fold, a huge canopy that protects children as well as an option to peekaboo. It's also fairly light for a double buggy and comes with a larger undercarriage basket for shopping.
