What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-by-side double with small footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 pounds.
A budget-friendly, basic double that has rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents of various heights.
Size
In general, double pushchair s are wider than single models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, including spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and a smart fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks quite well.
These lightweight side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. double pram and pushchair 's got plenty of features like the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo windows and a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheels at the front that makes it easy to navigate tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's priced at just over $1000 is a very affordable stroller. 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. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep track of your children and keep them safe when you're out at the park or shopping. There are many buggies that come with a range of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow. Some offer the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from a single seat to a double in merely minutes. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.
Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). They provide a spacious basket and include all the accessories you may require, such as liners and rain covers.
Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to pass through doors.
