It's compatible with many car seats, and can expand with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy once your children are old enough to sit and stand double stroller together.

Its slim, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension ensure it's easy to manoeuvre through the city and over rougher terrain.

Other side-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a compact footprint so they're easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport and you can often put them away with the seats still in place. They require more effort to push them over kerbs, and they can be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem mode but can also be used as a single buggy due to its unique frame that can be expanded widthways, and an adjustable height handle, which makes it easy to steer with only one hand.

Similarly, check how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as how wide it is when folded to determine whether your car is capable of accommodating it.
