The canopies are also easy to move and lift up and down the stairs. The canopies are spaciously sized and have windows that peek out.

Size

A large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension are the most important features to look out for in a double buggy. You might want to look at whether it's a travel system or if the car seat or carrycot is possible to add. These are crucial considerations when you have to take your children on public transport or on long trips.

If you're looking for a small double buggy that you can use from the beginning, consider the Leclerc Kooper X2. double strollers -by-side model has an innovative frame that can be expanded to to accommodate two children. The seats can be reclined or positioned independently. This lets you allow one child to relax and nap while the other observes the surrounding. The seat comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy, with an open window.


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

Tandem double buggies are very popular with parents of twins or parents with a baby and toddler. They do have a larger footprint than single-seaters and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a well-loved tandem that will grow with your family. It offers 30 different seating configurations. It can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or three children if you add iCandy's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can buy separately). It comes with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs simple to navigate. It is able to be used in single or double mode. You can even attach a single stroller to the top of the unit for additional storage space.

Weight

A quality double buggy is lightweight and easy-to-push. It should also come with nice-sized shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to allow it to get around rough terrains and, ideally it should be suitable for twins or siblings of different ages.

Many compact double buggies have frames that are designed to take infant car seats and come with branded adaptors to match popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. They are a great choice if you have younger children with medical conditions and want to avoid the need to purchase separate strollers.

However, they do tend to have a wider footprint than side-by-side buggies and can be harder to fit through doors and public transportation. Review the product's details for alternatives for this if it is important to your family.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the smallest double stroller on the market. It's the slimmest side-byside available at 64cm wide. It can be used by twins in the newborn stage or even one toddler and one baby. It has robust engineering and superior functionality with large air-filled tyres, which are all-terrain but just as happy nipping around town.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another fantastic option. It can carry twins, a baby and a toddler or two children with piggyback boards (which must be purchased separately). It has a self-standing fold and carry strap, making it super-easy to schlep, and has front and rear suspension to help you deal with rougher 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

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a great option to store two strollers. This side-by-side model has a smooth fold, and the frame's clever design expands in width when folded so that it's narrower than the standard stroller. This makes it much easier to navigate doorways and on public transport, while it also means that you don't require an additional vehicle to transport the buggy around.

It's a great choice for parents who have twins as it can be utilized in duo or mono mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also hold a third passenger on the buggy's "piggyback' board, and offers an array of configurations that include an elevated stadium seating area that gives each child a view of their surroundings. There's even a handbrake on the adjustable handlebar that makes it easier to push up and down hills.

Another good alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest side-by-side footprint on the market at 64cm. This makes it perfect for parents who are worried about fitting a double-doorway on public transport. However, it can still be able to handle rough terrain as an off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and an infant, or two children of similar age. Each seat reclines independently, so children are comfortable.

Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in mono or tandem mode, and can be used with a car seat/seats or an infant seat and carrycot. It's slightly longer than other doubles, but it provides great maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces and is an excellent choice for those who want a stylish but practical buggy.

If you're on a budget, there are plenty of affordable double buggies available, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a compact side-by-side that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot as well as an infant in a seat, or three kids if you add the pizazz-branded PiggyBack ride-on board. It features an easy-to-stand fold, a canopy that provides protection for children and an option to peekaboo. It's also fairly light for a double buggy and includes a larger undercarriage storage basket to store shopping.
