What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side Double Buggy For Infant And Toddler with a compact footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame for kids up to 50 lbs per seat.

A budget-friendly, basic double that has rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

In terms of cost, these types of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight. It's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's priced at just over $1000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating 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 navigate the supermarket or the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations that allow you to modify them as your children grow. Some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent illustration. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors let you change from a single to a strollers double in seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors while they can easily hold twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories like raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies usually have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They are larger than a one-seater and can be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried This buggy comes with seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers are awestruck by the way the seats recline individually by squeezing the levers under each seat, and also say that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten with just one hand. It's also easy to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores with the backrest upright for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) this is a fantastic choice for families who are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension mean it's good on roads and in cities too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this for children ages 0-6. of six.
