A spacious shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions are key elements to look for in a double travel buggy buggy.

These are crucial considerations if you are required to take your children on public transport or on long journeys.

Weight

A good double buggy should be light and easy to push. It should have a large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions to allow the child to navigate rough terrain, and be suitable for twins as well as siblings of different ages.

Many compact double buggies include frames that can be used to support infant car seats. They also come with brand-name adaptors that match the popular models made by Cybex BeSafe and Maxi-Cosi.

Folding

A good double buggy needs to be slimline for storage. A suitable option is the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This model is a side by side and has a very smooth fold.

It can also hold a third child on the buggy's "piggyback' board, and offers many different configurations that include an elevated stadium seating option that allows both children views of their surroundings. There's even a brake on the adjustable handlebar which makes it easier to push it up and down hills.

Another alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest side-by-side footprint available at 63cm.

It can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or two children of the same age, and each seat reclines independently to make sure the kids are comfortable.

Another good option is the iCandy Peach, which can be used in tandem or mono mode and can accommodate a car seats/seats, or a carrycot and toddler seat.
