What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-byside double stroller For tall kids with small footprint (for narrow doorways and on public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 lbs.
A fantastic budget double that has rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and padded handlebar for parents with different heights.
Size
In general best compact double stroller pushchairs are larger than single models - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features like a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in just a few seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's also super-affordable at just over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A well-designed double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. Many have a variety of seats so that you can alter the seat as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of the option of a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double in just a few seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you could require, such as rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated side-by-side. This can make 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 can be a bit long for getting through doors.
Comfort
This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles that we have examined. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, so your children can take in the view. It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy with a windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as an integrated cup holder for a single double stroller parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. The handle is easy to turn making it easy to fold. It also stores with the backrest up for double stroller with Car seat easy access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on roads and in cities too. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children ages 0-6. of six.
