This Is The Ultimate Cheat Sheet On Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with small footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 lbs per seat.

Budget cheap double pushchair 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 news is that this extra width lets them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them sit n stand double stroller out: large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of price tags, these types of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier a cheap double stroller buggy is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight. It's the lightest of our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's priced at just over $1000, it's also a super-affordable twin umbrella stroller (additional reading). It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is a great option for parents with twins or even a toddler and a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for navigating narrow spaces, while side by side models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. There are many buggies that come with a variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter to your child's needs as they grow. Some come with the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors let you change from one seat to a double seat in a matter of seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras including liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to get through doors.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've examined. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as cups holder for a single parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible and can be stored with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

This is the perfect choice for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins or a toddler, as well as three children when you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well as in the city. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it for children from 6 to 12 years old.
