What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with a compact footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 pounds.

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

Size

Double pushchairs double (browse around this website) are generally more spacious than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other important features that make them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can manage city streets and theme parks quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with plenty of features including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in just a few seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that allows you to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. With a price of just over P1,000 It's also a great value stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the supermarket or park. Many have a variety of seat configurations so you can alter them as your child develops. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use permit you to switch from a single seat to a Shop Double Pushchairs for Twins and Siblings in seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, 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 buy separately). They offer a generous 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 can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single seater and can be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so that your children can have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened or removed with just one hand. The handle is simple to turn making it easy to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest raised to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board) this is a fantastic choice for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. The large basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as in the city. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it to children up to six years old.
