What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact double buggy side-by-side with a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate children 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 are generally wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width lets them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy for twins twin buggy from Birth (users.Atw.hu) the lighter it is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features like an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also extremely affordable at over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and keep them safe when you're out at the park or shopping. There are many buggies that come with a range of seat configurations, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert one seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It has a large 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 such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). They come with a large basket and come with all the extras you might require, such as liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit longer to pass through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've examined. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with a the peek-a-boo window, and an upholstered toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests and a cup holder for a single parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be secured and unfastened with one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board) this is a fantastic option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension makes it ideal on kerbs and in the city too. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it for kids between the ages of 6 and 6.
