10 Mobile Apps That Are The Best For Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side that has a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 pounds.

Budget double pram and pushchair with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket.

Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models - particularly when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other important characteristics that make them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; cups with a single parent holder, 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 quite well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to navigate tight shops and supermarket aisles. With a price of just over P1,000, it's also a super-affordable best twin stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy for twins buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the grocery store or in the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can alter the seat as your child grows. Some permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to change from one seat to a double umbrella stroller in merely minutes. 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 easy to perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal for narrow aisles and doors and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). They provide a spacious basket and include all the accessories you could need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to get through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children enjoy the view; large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; and a single-parent cup holder. The testers love the way that the seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are easy to secure and remove with just one hand. The handle is simple to turn making it easy to fold. It also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

This is the ideal choice for families that want to expand with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins or a toddler, as well as three children with a 'PiggyBack board'. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as well as for use in cities. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
