Why No One Cares About Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A most compact double stroller side-by-side 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 lbs per seat.

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

Size

Double pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50 protection and 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 operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be mindful of weight. It's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless. It's also extremely affordable at over a thousand dollars. 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 baby and toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side By side double Pushchairs models keep your children accounted for and will help you keep your eyes on them as you travel around the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can modify them as your child grows. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors make it easy to change from one seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats as well as a standing fold that's quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). They come with a large basket and include all the accessories you could require, such as liners and rain covers.

tandem double buggy buggies are usually designed with your children sitting close to each other. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They are larger than a single to double pushchair seater and can be too large to fit through doorways.

Comfort
