In general double pushchairs are larger than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other important features that make them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cup holders for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be done by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.
In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.
