What to Look For in a Compact Double stroller with bassinet Buggy

Kerry says this side-byside is slim enough to get through most doorways and can take two car seats or carrycots. It comes with an auto-standing folding mechanism as well as easy carry straps to make it easy to carry.

It's also very easy to move up and down stairs. The canopies are spaciously sized and feature peekaboo windows.

Size

A large shopping basket as well as rear and front suspension are key elements to look for in a double buggy. You may consider if it is an e-travel system, or if an infant car seat or a carrycot is possible to add. These are crucial considerations if you need to take your kids on public transport or longer journeys.

Take a look at the Leclerc Kooper X2 if you are looking for a compact, lightest double stroller buggy you can use from the beginning. This model is a side-by-side buggy with frames that can be expanded to accommodate two children. The seats come with the option of recline and can be set up independently, which gives you the choice of one child leaning back and taking a nap while the other looks out at their surroundings. You will get a huge UPF 50+ canopy with an open window.

Another great option for newborn twins is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the thinnest twin pushchair on the market. It is just 63cm wide and should fit through the majority of doors. It can accommodate two car seats or a carrycot, and has lay-flat seats that are suitable from birth.

Tandem double buggies, that feature the children sitting side by side, are a popular choice for twins or for parents of a baby and toddler. They have a bigger footprint than single-seaters, and are more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or on pavements.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a well-loved tandem that will expand with your family. It offers 30 different seating options. It can be used with twins, a baby and a toddler or three children if you add iCandy's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can buy separately). It comes with a soft suspension system that makes kerbs easier to navigate. It is able to be used in mono or double mode. It is also possible to connect a single stroller to the top of it to provide additional storage space.

Weight

A quality double buggy is lightweight and easy to push. It should come with a large shopping basket, front and back suspension to allow the child to traverse rougher terrain, and be suitable for twins and other siblings of different ages.

Many compact double buggies have frames that can be used to store infant car seats. They also come with brand-name adaptors that match the most popular models from Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi. These are great choices when you are looking to stay clear of separate strollers for your younger children with medical issues.

They tend to be wider than buggies with side-by-sides and are difficult to fit in doorways or on public transport. Check the product details for alternatives for this if it is important to you and your family.

Mountain Buggy Duet is the most compact double travel buggy stroller on the market. It's the slimmest side-by-side on the market with a 63cm width. It can be used to carry twins or an infant and a toddler. It has robust engineering and superior functionality with large air-filled tyres that are all terrain double buggy-terrain but equally comfortable cruising around town.

Another great choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can accommodate twins with one toddler and one baby or two kids, with a piggy back board (which you must purchase separately). It comes with an adjustable carry strap that can stand on its own and fold to make it easy to move around. It also comes with front and back suspension to make it easier to navigate rougher terrain. It's heavier than the Joie Evalite Duo, but lighter than most trifold buggies. This is a great choice for older children.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic choice for storing a double buggy. This model is a side-byside and has a very smooth fold. The frame expands when you fold it, making it smaller than a single stroller. This makes it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transportation, as well as making it less necessary to have a second vehicle.

It's a great option for parents of twins as it can be used with two seats and car seat adaptors. It can accommodate a third child on the 'piggybackboard of the buggy. It also has an array of configurations, including elevated stadium-style seats that give both kids a view of their surroundings. There's even a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted which makes it easier to push up and down hills.

Mountain Buggy Duet is another good option. It has the smallest footprint side-by-side available measuring just 63cm. This makes it perfect for parents who are concerned about fitting a double to single buggy through doors and on public transport, while it can also take on rough terrain like an off-roader. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby or two kids with the same age, and each seat reclines independently to keep the kids comfortable.

Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in tandem or mono mode and can take 2 car seats/seats, or a carrycot and toddler seat. It's a little larger than other doubles, but it provides an excellent maneuverability, particularly on smooth surfaces. It's an excellent choice for those who are 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. This small side-by-side can accommodate infants in the carrycot and a toddler in the seat, or even three children if you include the PiggyBack ride on board with pizazz. It has an easy-to-stand fold, a large canopy that offers protection for both children and a peekaboo feature. It's also fairly light for a double stroller and comes with a large undercarriage basket to store shopping.
