What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy A side-by-side double with small footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame for kids up to 50lbs per seat. Budget double with front and back suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket. Size Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well. In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable. Weight The lighter a double buggy is, the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. 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 still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles effortless. It's also super-affordable at just over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'. Flexibility A well-designed double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the grocery store or in the park. There are many buggies that come with a variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat. The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent illustration. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors let you change from single to double in seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window 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 perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or even a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). The basket is generous and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liners. Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated together. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single seater and can be too long to fit through doorways. Pushchairs And Prams of the more comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested This buggy comes with raised stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers are awestruck by how the seats recline individually by squeezing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to fasten and unfasten with one hand. The handle is easy to twist, making it simple to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest raised for easy access. This is the ideal choice for families that want to expand with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can hold twins with a toddler as well as three children with an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
