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. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, 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 is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
