What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.

A budget-friendly, basic double with rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are typically more spacious than single and double stroller (visit the up coming post) ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also have other important characteristics that make them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that can be done one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and a swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight shops and supermarket aisles easy. It's also affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double pram pushchair buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you travel around the supermarket or the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter to your child's needs as they grow, and some even have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can be used to support two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert from one seat to a double travel stroller seat in a matter of minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors, while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories like liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit longer for getting through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight double buggy doubles that we have examined. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as cups holder for a single parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened or unfastened with one hand. It's also easy to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be, and stores with the backrest upright to make it easy to access.

This is the ideal choice for families that want to develop with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can carry twins with a toddler as well as three children when you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as as in the city. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children between the ages of 6 and 6.
