The heavier a double buggy is the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless.

Flexibility
A double buggy that is well-designed will offer a huge amount of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seating configurations, so you can alter them as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double in just a few seconds.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which is available separately). They offer a generous basket and include all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.
Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit longer to get through doorways.
