Comfort

This type of double stroller generally less expensive than a modular one, and the seats usually offer plenty of recline, legroom, and canopies that provide plenty of coverage.

However, some products have a different recline for each seat (the front seat of the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double is almost flat and the second seat remains almost upright). This kind of disparity in seating can cause children to argue over which seat they'd like to sit on.
