What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-by-side double with a compact footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame for kids up to 50 lbs per seat.
Budget double with front and back suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.
Size
Double pushchairs are typically more spacious than single ones, particularly 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 accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other key characteristics that make them stand out, including generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles cups with a single parent holder, 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 quite 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 a double-buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight, since it's the lightest of our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating tight shops and supermarket aisles simple. Just over lightest double stroller ,000 is a very affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A good double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the park or shopping. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify to your child's needs as they grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can hold two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in just a few seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to get through doors.
Comfort
This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy with a the peek-a-boo window, and an upholstered toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as cups holder for one parent. The testers love the way that the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a "PiggyBack" board) This is a great option for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. The large basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as well as in the city. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.
