What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

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

A great barebones budget double with front and rear suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are generally 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 take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These buggies that are lightweight have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops easy. With a price of just over P1,000 It's also a great value twin stroller with car seats. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double seat stroller buggy is a great option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you go to the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations, so you can adapt to your child's needs as they grow. Some come with the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its easy-to-use adaptors permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in just a few seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and 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, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the accessories you may require, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting side-by-side. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as the cup holder that is 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 ready to grow double stroller (Olderworkers`s blog) fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy access.

This is a great option for families looking to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or three kids if you add the 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as well as in the city. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it for children from 6 to 12 years old.
