What The Heck Is Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Buggy For Twins Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side with tiny footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate kids up to 50lbs per seat.

Budget smallest double buggy with front and back suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.

Size

In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - especially when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other important features that make them stand out, like 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 aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and the clever fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain, but can manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier a double stroller with car seat buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features like a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that allows you to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. With a price of just over P1,000, it's also a super-affordable twin umbrella stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy that is well-designed can provide a lot of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-by-side models keep your children accounted for and will help you keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children develop, and some offer the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its adaptors for car seats permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It comes with 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.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are perfect for navigating narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They come with a large basket and come with all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single seater and can be too large to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most compact double stroller comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, so your children can take in the view. It also features a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests and a cup holder for one parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened with one hand. The handle is easy to twist, making it simple to fold. It can also be stored by putting the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) This is a great option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as well as for use in cities. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it for kids between the ages of 6 and 6.
