Size

In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - especially when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key characteristics that make them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; cups with a single parent holder, a smart fold mechanism that can be done by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.
