Safety
When you purchase a double buggy, you should check that it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to the growth of your child are crucial. Also, make sure that the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Also, look for a large storage basket and pockets and whether there are any other items that are useful, like sunshades or rain covers.
If you're going to be using the buggy mainly around town or on public transport, ensure whether it is light and easy to move. You will also need to consider how much it weighs when fully loaded, and if it can be folded easily to fit in your car boot. If you use the buggy often in small towns or villages, ensure that the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow streets and doorways.
