Why Nobody Cares About Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-byside double pushchair with car seat with a compact footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate children 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

In general, double pushchairs 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 enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other important features that make them stand out, including spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be aware of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles simple. It's also affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-by-side models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or the park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can adjust the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its easy-to-use adaptors let you change from a single to a double in seconds. 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; a standing fold that's quick and easy to do with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great for narrow aisles and doors. They are also able to accommodate twins and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras, such as raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies usually have your children seated twin buggy from birth best twin stroller side by side (this content)-by-side, which can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single-seater and may be too large to fit through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers are awestruck by how the seats recline by pushing the levers under each seat, and say that the straps are simple to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. The handle is simple to turn making it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

This is the ideal choice for families that want to develop with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can accommodate twins with a toddler as well as a baby or three kids if you add a 'PiggyBack board'. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on kerbs and in the city too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends it to children from 6 to 12 years old.
