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

Size

Double pushchairs tend to be more spacious than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key characteristics that make them stand out, including generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles cups with a single parent holder, a smart fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can manage city streets and theme parks quite well.

In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double stroller with bassinet buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. With a price of just over P1,000 It's also a great value twin 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, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the grocery store or in the park. Many have a variety of seating configurations, so you can adjust them as your child develops. Some allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from one seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows on both seats; an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform using just one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). They come with a large basket, and come with all the extras you might need, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They are larger than a single-seater and may be too big to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; and a single-parent cup holder. Testers love how the seats recline individually by squeezing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. The handle is easy to turn, making it simple to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest up for easy access.

This is the perfect choice for families who want to grow with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins with a toddler as well as a baby or three kids when you add a 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on streets and in cities too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends it to children between the ages of 6 and 6.
