What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-byside double with a compact footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.

Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket.

Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other important characteristics that make them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; a one-parent cup holder and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter the double pushchair buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It's got many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also affordable at just over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the track of your children and trsfcdhf.hfhjf.hdasgsdfhdshshfsh keep them safe when you're out at the supermarket or park. Many have a variety of seats so that you can modify the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to convert a single seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats; the standing fold is simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the accessories you could need, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated side-by-side, which can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single double stroller-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to pass through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so that your children can have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened or unfastened in one hand. The handle is easy to twist making it easy to fold. It can also be stored by putting the backrest up for easy access.

This is a great option for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as three children with a 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on streets and in cities too. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.
