Kerry says this side-byside is light enough to pass through the majority of doors and be used with two car seats or carrycots. It comes with a self-standing fold and a handy carry strap for easy schlepping.

Size

Double buggy features that you should look for include a large shopping basket, front and rear suspension and an incredibly sturdy frame. You might also want 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 little ones along on public transport or on longer journeys.

You should consider the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a small, double buggy you can use right from the time you are born. This clever model is a side-byside buggy with frames that can be expanded widthways in order to accommodate two children. The seats come with a recline option and can be set up independently, giving you the option of one child leaning back enjoying a nap while the other looks out at their surroundings. The seat comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy that has an open window.

Another great option for newborn twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest twin pushchair that is available on the market. It is just 63cm wide and should be able to pass through most doors. It can also accommodate two car seats or a carrycot and has lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem best double buggy buggies are very popular with parents of twins, or parents who have a child 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 is a popular tandem buggy that's been designed to adapt to your family, offering 30 different seating options. It can be used with twins or a baby and a toddler or even three kids if you add iCandy's "PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). It comes with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs simple to navigate. It can be used in mono or double mode. You can even attach a single stroller to the top of it to provide additional storage space.

Weight

A good double tandem pushchair buggy should be lightweight and easy to push. It should also have spacious shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to make it easier to maneuver over rough terrain and, in the ideal case it is suitable for twins or siblings of different age.

Many compact double buggies come with frames that can be used to hold infant car seats. They also have branded adaptors that match the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are a great option for families with children with medical conditions and would prefer not having to use separate strollers.

However, they tend to have a larger space than side-byside buggies and are more difficult to fit through doors and on public transportation. If this is important to you, check the product details to see whether there are alternatives available.

If you're looking to find the tiniest double pushchair twin available take a look at the Mountain Buggy Duet. It's the slimmest side-byside on the market at just 63cm wide and can be used by twins who are just born or one toddler and one baby. It is built to last with a sturdy design and superior functionality with big air-filled tires that are suitable for all terrains, but also happy to zip around the city.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can accommodate twins with one baby and one toddler or two kids, with piggy backboards (which you must purchase separately). It is equipped with an adjustable carry strap that can stand on its own and folds down to make it easy to transport. It also has front and back suspension to make it easier to navigate 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

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a great option for storing two strollers. This side-by-side model features an extremely smooth fold and the frame's clever design expands in width as you fold to make it smaller than the standard stroller. This makes it easy to get around doorways and on public transport, while it also means that you don't require a second car for schlepping the buggy around.

It's a great option for parents of twins because it can be used with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also hold a third child on the buggy's "piggyback' board, and offers many different configurations with an elevated stadium-style seating area that gives each child a view of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar features an adjustable handbrake that helps to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the most compact side-by-side footprint on the market at 63cm. This makes it ideal for parents who are concerned about fitting a double-doorway on public transport, and it is able to handle rough terrain like an off-roader. It can be used for twins, a toddler and a baby, or two children who are the same age. Each seat reclines independently, which ensures that children are comfortable.

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

If you're looking for a budget there are plenty of affordable double buggies available such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2.

It features a simple, self-standing fold and a nice large canopy that offers both kids some protection and a peek-a-boo window. It is also relatively lightweight for a double stroller and comes with a large undercarriage basket to store things like shopping.
