What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-by-side that has an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children up to 50 lbs.
A budget-friendly, basic double with rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and padded handlebar for parents with different 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 lets them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, including large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, a smart fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. It's also extremely affordable at more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
double pram and pushchair can provide a lot of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter them 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 hold two seats or a car seat and its adaptors that are easy to use permit you to switch from a single to a double in a matter of seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you may require, such as rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting together. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit longer to get through doorways.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out; a 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. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be secured and unfastened with one hand. It's also simple to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be and can be stored with the backrest up for easy access.
This is the perfect choice for families looking to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can carry twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or three kids when you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as in the city. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends it to children from 6 to 12 years old.
