Kerry says that this side-by-side is slim enough to get through the majority of doors and accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It comes with a self-standing fold and a handy carry strap to make it easy to schlep.
The canopies are also easy to move and lift up and down the stairs. The canopies are generously sized and feature peekaboo windows.
Size
A good-sized shopping basket and rear and front suspension are key aspects to look for in a double stroller with infant car seat buggy. You may be interested in knowing if it's a travel system or if the car seat or carrycot can be added. These are crucial considerations if you need to take your children on public transport, or on long journeys.
Consider the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a small, double buggy you can use from the time you are born. This clever model is a side-byside buggy with frames that can be expanded widthwise to accommodate two children. The seats have an option to recline and can be placed independently, giving you the choice of one child leaning back taking a nap while the other one gazes out at the world around them. The seats also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy as well as a peekaboo feature.
Another great option for infant twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest side-byside lightweight twin stroller pushchair available and is only 63cm wide, so should fit through most doorways. It can take two car seat or one carrycot, and comes with lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.
Tandem double buggies, that feature the children sitting in a row, are a popular choice for twins or parents of a baby and a toddler. They do have a larger footprint than single-seaters and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or on pavements.
The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy that has been designed to grow with your family, with 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 purchase separately). It has a soft suspension that makes light work of kerbs and can be used in a mono or double mode. It is possible to attach one stroller to the top for additional storage.
Weight
A quality double buggy is light and easy to push. It should also come with nice-sized shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to make it easier to navigate rougher surfaces and, most importantly it is suitable for twins or siblings of different age.
Many compact double buggies have frames designed to fit infant car seats and come with adaptors branded to match popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are a great option if you have younger children with medical issues and would prefer not having to use separate strollers.
They are typically larger than buggies that are side-by-side and are difficult to fit in doorways or on public transport. Look over the product's specifications for alternatives if this is important to your family.
If you're looking to find the tiniest double pushchair available take a look at the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest side-by-side available with a 63cm width. It can be used to carry twins or a baby and a toddler. It offers robust engineering and superior performance thanks to its large air-filled tyres that can be used on all terrains but just as happy nipping around the town.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can carry twins or one baby and one toddler or two kids using piggy backboards (which you must purchase separately). It has a carry strap that is self-standing and can folds to make it simple to move around. It also has front and back suspension to assist you in navigating rougher terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but less heavy than trifold buggies. This is a great option for older children.
Folding
A good double seat stroller buggy needs to be compact for storage. A ideal choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This side-byside model has a smooth fold, and the frame's clever design expands widthways as you fold so that it's narrower than the standard stroller. This allows it to be more easily maneuvered through doorways and public transportation, while also making it less necessary to have an additional vehicle.
It's a good option for parents with twins as it can be used in mono or duo mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also hold another child on the buggy's "piggyback board. It also offers many different configurations, including an elevated stadium-style seating area that gives both children views of their surroundings. There's even a brake on the adjustable handlebar which makes it easier to push up and down hills.
Mountain Buggy Duet is another good alternative. It has the most compact footprint side-by-side available, measuring 63cm. It is perfect for parents who are worried about fitting a double into a door or on public transport. However, it can still handle rough terrain and be an off-roader. It can carry twins, a baby and toddler or two children who are the same age and each seat can recline independently to make sure the kids are at ease.
Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in tandem or mono mode, and can be used with a car seats/seats, or a carrycot and a toddler seat. It's a bit larger than other doubles, but it has great maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces. It's an excellent option for those who are looking for a stylish but practical lightweight twin buggy.
If you're on a tight 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, an infant in the seat, or three kids if you add the Pizazz-branded PiggyBack ride-on board. It comes with a self-standing fold, a canopy that offers protection for both children and the ability to peek inside. It's also fairly light for a double buggy, and comes with a larger undercarriage basket for shopping.
