Why You Should Focus On Improving Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-byside double pram and pushchair with small footprint (for narrow doorways and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame for kids 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 larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like 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 features that help them sit n stand double stroller out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, the clever fold mechanism that can be done by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops easy. It's also extremely affordable at over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double running Stroller buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are great for navigating tight spaces, while side-by-side models keep your children accounted for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow. Some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. 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 in just minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). They come with a large basket, and come with all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long to get through doors.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this twin buggy from birth features raised stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers love how the seats recline individually by squeezing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with just one hand. The handle is easy to twist and makes it easy to fold. It also stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.

This is the ideal choice for families looking to grow with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or three kids if you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as well as for use in cities. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it for children up to six years old.
