Safety
When buying a double buggy make sure it meets all the important safety standards. The safety straps and how the seats adjust to your child's growth are crucial. Also, ensure that the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Look for a large storage basket as well as pockets and other accessories you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you're planning to be using the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, you should think about the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded and whether it can be folded up and fitted in your car boot. If you use the buggy frequently in villages or small towns, check that the wheels are well-groomed and that it can negotiate narrow streets and doors.
