One of them is the large basket that is placed behind seat when in the parent-facing position.

Style

Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models So keep this in mind if looking to purchase a model that will last many years. However, they offer more storage space, typically with a larger basket for shopping.

The most popular double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems are designed to have the children placed in a row and give them the same view and may help avoid sibling arguments over who should sit where. They're not foolproof and children can still kick or punch each other when they ride. The side-by-side format is more conventional with two fixed seats positioned on a single stroller frame. They might not have the same number of configurations, and they're usually ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't yet need the back support of an infant car seat.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are both comfortable for children. Additionally the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to offer shade, and also have the cute peekaboo feature.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-by-side model for older children and is less susceptible to sibling squabbles, as your children aren't facing each other. It's important to remember that some kids may feel isolated or lonely in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.

The egg2 has a sleek modern design, a contemporary style and an attractive price.
