Why People Don't Care About Double Travel Buggy
What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 pounds.

A budget-friendly, basic double that has rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

In general, double pushchair s are wider than single models - particularly when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width lets them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that help 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 like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. With a price of just over P1,000, 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 is a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide selection of seating options, so you can adapt them as your children develop, and some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children sitting close to each other. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver up and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a one-seater and can be too large to fit through doorways.

Comfort


This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles that we have tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also features a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as an integrated cup holder for one parent. The testers love the way the seats recline independently by pressing the levers under each seat, and say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand. The handle is easy to twist, making it simple to fold. It also stores with the backrest raised for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families who are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on streets and in cities too. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
