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 news is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles simple. It's also super-affordable at just over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

A double buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, whether you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-by-side models keep your children accounted for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can alter them as your child develops. Some even allow you to add an automobile seat or ride-on board.

It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats; a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is large and includes all the accessories like raincovers and liners.
