What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

Size

In general small double buggy pushchairs are generally wider than single models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other important features that help them stand out, such as generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks fairly 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 move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight, as it's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. With a price of just over P1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller double pram stroller (Recommended Internet site). It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double stroller with car seat buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. There are many buggies that come with a range of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

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 single to double in just a few seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats as well as a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great for navigating narrow doors and aisles. They also can easily 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 are typically made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to get through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats so that your children can enjoy the view; large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers love the way that the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand. It's also easy to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible and can be stored by putting the backrest up for easy access.

This is the perfect choice for families looking to expand with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can carry twins, a toddler and three children when you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this product for youngsters up to the age of six.
