What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-byside with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate children 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

Double pushchairs are typically more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width lets them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

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

Weight

The lighter the double pushchair from birth buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight twin stroller of our Lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in just a few seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front, which makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's also super-affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double pram stroller buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can adjust them as your child grows. Some permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to change from one seat to a double tandem pushchair seat in a matter of seconds. 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 simple to perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are ideal for narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the extras you might require, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit longer to pass through doorways.

It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy that has a windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests and cups holder for one parent. Testers love the way that the seats recline by pushing the levers under each seat, and also say that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten using just one hand. It's also simple to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and also stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board) this is a fantastic option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as well as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
