Why No One Cares About Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate children up to 50lbs per seat.

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

Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models - especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other important features that help them stand out, like spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as shopping aisles; cup holders for one parent and the clever fold mechanism that can be operated one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The heavier a double infant strollers buggy is the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest double stroller of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's got many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo windows, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front, which allows you to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's priced at just over $1000 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 a great option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and a baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can modify 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 allow you to change from single to double pram stroller in just a few seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins or a child and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting together. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a one-seater and can be too large to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable lightweight doubles that we have tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as an integrated cup holder for a single parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be secured and removed with just one hand. It's also simple to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible, and stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families that are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on kerbs and in the city too. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to youngsters up to the age of six.
