Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand.

The narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seats so that you can adjust them as your child grows. Some allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. lightweight twin buggy can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in 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 and a standing fold that’s quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which you buy separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you may require, including liners and rain covers.Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and can be a bit long to get through doors.ComfortOne of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we’ve tried the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can have a great view. It also has large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; and an individual cup holder for parents. Testers love the way the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten with just one hand. It’s also a doddle to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.With 30 different configurations (it’ll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a ‘PiggyBack’ board) this is a fantastic choice for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on roads and in cities too. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for kids from 6 to 12 years old.
