Size

Double buggy features that you should look for include the large shopping basket, front and rear suspension, and strong frame.

This lets you allow one child to relax and take a nap while the other one is watching the surrounding. The seats also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy, as well as an option to peek inside.

It comes with an easy suspension system that makes kerbs easier to navigate. It is able to be used in mono or double mode. You can attach a single stroller on top for extra storage.

Weight

A quality double buggy is lightweight and easy to push. It should also have spacious shopping baskets, rear and front suspension to make it easier to navigate rougher surfaces and, most importantly it is suitable for twins or siblings of different age groups.

Many compact double buggies come with frames that can be used to support infant car seats. They also come with branded adaptors that match the most popular models from Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a fantastic option to store a double buggy.

It can carry twins or a toddler and a baby or two children who are the same age and each seat reclines independently to make sure the kids are at ease.
