This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and public transportation. It is compatible with many car seats and can grow with your family. It can be used as mono or tandem buggy after your children are old enough to sit together.

Its height adjustable handle is great for steering and the suspension is able to make light work of slick surfaces. It's great for older children since the seat is elevated in a stadium style.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-byside model that's extremely light and has a compact footprint. They can be easily put away with the seats attached.

It also has a height-adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with only one hand.
