Size

Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single to double buggy ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.

Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the track of your children and keep them safe when you're out at the park or shopping. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can modify them as your child grows. Some allow you to add an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
