What to Look For in a Compact Double Buggy

Kerry says that the side-byside is small enough to pass through most doors and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It has a self-standing fold and a handy carry strap for easy schlepping.

The canopies are also easy to move and lift up and down the stairs. The canopies are large enough to accommodate windows and peekaboo openings.

Size

A spacious shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension are essential aspects to look for in a double buggy. You might also want to consider whether it's a travel system or whether you can add a carrycot or car seat. These are important considerations when you have to take your children on public transport, or for long distance journeys.

If you're in search of a compact double buggy that you can use from the beginning look into the Leclerc Kooper X2. This model is a side by side buggy that has frames that can be expanded widthwise to accommodate two children. The seats can be reclined and positioned independently. This allows you to allow one child to relax and take a nap while the other observes the surrounding. You get a big UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window too.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another great alternative for twins. This is the slimmest side-by-side twin pushchair available and is only 63cm wide, so will fit through most doors. It can be used with two car seats or one carrycot, and comes with lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies are very popular with parents of twins or who have a baby and a toddler. They do have a larger space than single-seaters, and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy and has been designed to adapt to your family. It comes with 30 different seating options. The iCandy Orange tandem double stroller buggy can be used for twins or a child, toddler or even three children when you include the iCandy PiggyBack board (available separately). It is equipped with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs easier to navigate. It can be used in either single or double mode. It is possible to attach a single stroller on top for additional storage.

Weight

A great double to single buggy buggy should be lightweight and easy to push. It should also come with nice-sized shopping baskets, a rear and front suspension to allow it to get around rough terrains and, in the ideal case it is suitable for twins or siblings of various ages.

A lot of compact double buggies have frames that are specifically designed to accommodate infant car seats and come with adaptors branded to match the most popular models from Cybex, BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are great options for those who want to avoid having separate strollers for your smaller children with medical conditions.

However, they generally have a bigger footprint than side-by-side buggies and may be more difficult to maneuver through doorways and on public transportation. Look over the product's specifications for alternatives in case this is important to you and your family.

If you're looking for the smallest double pushchair available take a look at the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side available at 63cm wide and is suitable for newborn twins or one baby and one toddler.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can carry twins, one toddler and one baby or two kids using a piggy back board (which you need to buy separately).

It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but less heavy than trifold buggies. This is a great choice for older children.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a great choice for storing the double buggy. This model is a side by side and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, which means it's smaller than a single stroller. This allows it to be more easily maneuvered through doors and on public transportation, as well as eliminating the need for an additional vehicle.

It's a great option for parents who have twins as it can be used in a mono or duo mode with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can accommodate an additional child on the 'piggybackboard' of the buggy. It also offers an array of options, including seats that are elevated to give both children an overview of their surroundings. The adjustable handlebar comes with a handbrake that allows you to push the buggy up and down hills.

Another alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the most compact side-by-side footprint on the market at the smallest 63cm. It is ideal for parents who worry about fitting a double inside the doorway or on public transport. However it is still able to tackle rough terrain as a true off-roader. It can be used for twins, a toddler and one or two children who are similar age. Each seat reclines independently, which ensures that children are comfortable.

The iCandy Peach is a good option. It can be used in mono or tandem mode, and can be used with two car seats, or a carrycot and the option of a toddler seat. It's slightly longer than other doubles, but it has excellent maneuverability particularly on smooth surfaces. This is a great choice for those looking for an elegant and practical buggy.

It has a simple self-standing fold and a nice large canopy that offers the kids some protection and includes a peekaboo window.
