This allows you to allow one child to relax and take a nap while the other one is watching the surrounding.

Folding

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is an excellent option for storing the double buggy.

There's even a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted which makes it easier to push it up and down hills.

Another good alternative is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the smallest side-by-side footprint on the market at the smallest 63cm.

It can accommodate twins, a toddler and one or two children who are similar age. Each seat reclines independently, which ensures that the children are able to sit comfortably.

The iCandy Peach is a good alternative. It can be used in tandem or mono mode, and can accommodate two car seats or a carrycot that has the option of a toddler seat.
