Safety
Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to buying it. The safety straps and how the seats adjust to the growth of your child are vital. Also, make sure that the seats are reclined in different positions for each age group. Also, look for a large storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other extras that might be useful such as sunshades or rain covers.
If you're going to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, make sure that it is lightweight and easy to move. Also, you should consider the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded and whether it can be folded and put in the car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are many types of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, however they have the benefit of the children both being able to see. They can also be quite pricey.
