What NOT To Do With The Double Travel Buggy Industry
What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-by-side with a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.
Budget double Single pushchair with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket.
Size
double push chair pushchairs are typically wider than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other important features that help them stand out, including spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cup holders for one parent and the clever fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of cost, these types of lightweight twin stroller, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent option for those who are concerned about weight. issue. It still has plenty of features including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's also affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A double pram stroller buggy that is well-designed will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can modify them as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car 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 a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats and a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liner.
Tandem buggies typically have your children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair and can be a bit long for getting through doors.
Comfort
This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can enjoy the view. It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window, an upholstered toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as a cup holder for one parent. The testers love the way that the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with just one hand. It's also easy to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores with the backrest up for easy access.
This is a great option for families who want to grow with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can carry twins with a toddler as well as three children with an 'PiggyBack Board'. The large basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as in the city. It's also a great value.
