What to Look For in a Compact double stroller with infant car seat Buggy

Kerry says that the side-byside is small enough to fit through most doors and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It comes with an auto-standing folding mechanism as well as easy carry straps to make it easy to move.

The canopies are also easy to lift and move up and down the stairs. The canopies are generously sized and feature peekaboo windows.

Size

A spacious shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions are key features to look out for in a double buggy. You might be interested in knowing if it is an e-best travel double stroller system, or if a car seat or carrycot can be added. These are crucial considerations if you're planning to bring your children in public transport or on longer journeys.

You should consider the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a compact, double buggy you can use right from the time you are born. This clever model is a side-by-side buggy with an adjustable frame that can expand widthwise to accommodate two children. The seats come with an option to recline and can be positioned independently, giving you the option of having one child leaning back and relaxing for a nap, while the other is looking out at the surrounding. You also get a large UPF 50+ canopy as well as a peekaboo feature.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another great option for twins. This is the slimmest side-by-side twin pushchair available and only 63cm wide so should fit through most doorways. It can accommodate two car seats or a carrycot, and comes with lying-flat seats that can be used from birth.

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

The iCandy Orange is a popular tandem buggy that has been designed to adapt to your family, offering 30 different seating configurations. It can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids if you add iCandy's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). It features a soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs and can be used in a mono or double mode. It is possible to attach a single stroller on top to store additional items.

Weight

A good double buggy should be light and easy to push. It should come with a large shopping basket, front and back suspensions to allow the child to navigate rougher terrain, and be suitable for twins and siblings of different ages.

Many double buggies are compact and have frames that can be used to store infant car seats. They also come with branded adaptors that are compatible with the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. They are a great choice for families with children with medical issues and want to avoid having to use separate strollers.

They tend to be wider than buggies that are side-by-side and are more difficult to squeeze into doorways and on public transportation. If this is important to you, check the product's specifications to see if there are any alternatives available.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the most compact double stroller on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side available, measuring only 63cm in width. It is able to carry twins or one toddler and a baby. It is built to last with a sturdy design and superior functionality, with large air-filled tires that are suitable for all terrain double buggy (explanation) terrains but also happy to zip around town.

Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can carry twins or one baby and one toddler or two kids with a piggy back board (which you need to buy separately). It has an adjustable carry strap that can stand on its own and folds to make it simple to move around. It also comes with front and back suspension to help you deal with rougher terrain. It's a little heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo but still lighter than the majority of tri-fold buggies and is an excellent value for older kids.

Folding

A good double stroller needs to be slim for storage. A good choice is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This model is a side-byside and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, which means it's narrower that one stroller. This allows it to be more easily maneuvered through doorways and public transportation, as well as eliminating the need for an additional vehicle.

It's a great choice for parents of twins because it can be used with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can also accommodate an additional rider on the buggy's 'piggyback board, and provides many different configurations that include an elevated stadium seating option that allows both children views of their surroundings. There's even a handbrake built into the adjustable handlebar that makes it easier to push it up and down hills.

Another alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest side-by-side footprint available at 64cm. It is perfect for parents who fret about fitting a double inside a door or on public transport. However it is able to handle rough terrain as a true off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or two children who are the same age and each seat can recline independently to keep the kids comfortable.

Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in tandem or mono mode and can accommodate a car seat/seats or a carrycot and toddler seat. It's a bit larger than other doubles, however it has excellent maneuverability, especially on smooth surfaces. This is a great choice for those looking for an attractive and practical buggy.

If you're looking for a budget, there are plenty of affordable double buggies available, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a compact side-by-side that can fit a baby in a carrycot as well as a toddler in a seat, or three kids if you include the brand-new pizazz PiggyBack ride-on board. It has an auto-standing fold, a huge canopy that protects children as well as the ability to peek inside. It is also relatively lightweight for a double stroller, and has a large undercarriage basket for storing the shopping.
