The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-byside model that's extremely light and has a small footprint. They can be easily moved around with the seats on.

There are two main kinds of double buggy - twin which is where your children are together, or tandem, where one seat is placed in front of the other. The main advantage of a twin buggy is that your children can interact instead of having to switch places or argue over who gets the best double buggy spot. However, twins tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be a little shorter than single and double stroller models, but are nevertheless longer. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs and may need dismantling in order to fit into your car boot. Recline-based seats are now a fairly standard feature on the majority of double buggies. So, ensure that your model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

Be sure to check the weight limit and if both have a hood or sun canopy that protects from rain and wind.

Consider using a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They're great for toddlers who want to walk, but still need a ride. They are also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with the car seat for more flexibility.
