Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. Other features 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, a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
