What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-byside double with small footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 lbs.

A budget-friendly, basic double that has rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

In general double 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 take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that make 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; cups with a single to double stroller parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain but can manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

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

Weight

The lighter a double buggy side by side buggy is the more easy it will be to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that 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 effortless. Just over PS1,000, it's also a super-affordable twin stroller with car seats. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through 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. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can alter the seat as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from single to double in seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is quick and easy to do with just one second hand double buggy; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket and come with all the extras you might require, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single seater and can be too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

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

This is the ideal choice for families that want to develop with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as three children when you add the 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on streets and in cities too. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children between the ages of 6 and 6.
