Design
When looking for a budget double pushchair, there are many aspects to take into consideration, including the size, style, price and features. The most important factor to consider is whether the product will suit your family's requirements. There are two main types of double products, inline and side-by-side (one seat is directly behind the other). Each type has its pros and cons.
Side-by-side models come with two fixed seats and are best suited to twins or siblings of similar age, although they can also be used with one child. They are usually wider than single-seat buggies, making them easier to maneuver narrow spaces and kerbs but can be difficult to navigate through doorways. They also may have a limited storage capacity and are difficult to push across uneven terrain.
Inline models feature seats between the two and are best suited to older toddlers or children. They can often be used with just one infant car seat and may have a larger basket than side-by-side models. Inline strollers aren't as equipped with features as other strollers that are lightweight. For instance they don't have the sunshade or cup holder for every child.

The Cybex Geo 3 offers a astonishing 23kg in single mode, and a massive undercarriage basket if used as a double.
