Size

A spacious shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension are key aspects to look for in a double buggy. You may want to look at whether it's a travel system, or if the car seat or carrycot can be added. Those are important considerations if you need to take your children on public transport or longer journeys.

If you're looking for a small double buggy that can be used from birth take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2. This innovative model is a side-by-side buggy with frames that can be expanded widthwise to accommodate two children. The seats come with an option to recline and can be placed in a different way, which gives you the option of one child leaning back relaxing for a nap, while the other looks out at the surrounding. The seats also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy, as well as a peekaboo feature.

It is equipped with an easy suspension system that makes kerbs easier to navigate. It can be used in either mono or double mode. You can also connect a single double stroller stroller to the top of the unit for extra storage space.

Weight

A good double buggy should be lightweight and easy-to-push. It should include a large shopping basket, front and back suspensions that make it easier for the child to traverse rougher terrain, and be suitable for twins and other siblings of different age groups.

A majority of compact double buggies have frames that are designed to fit infant car seats and come with adaptors with branded brands to match the popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic option for storing the double buggy. This model is a side-byside and features a very smooth fold. The frame expands as you fold it, which means it's narrower that the standard stroller.

The adjustable handlebar features a handbrake, which makes it easier to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the most compact side-by-side footprint available at the smallest 63cm.

It can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or two children of the same age, and each seat reclines independently to keep the kids at ease.
