Size

Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that 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 is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of cost, these types of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

The lighter a double buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores.
