What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-byside double with an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow entrances and public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors), to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children up to 50 pounds.
Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket.
Size
Double pushchairs are generally wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, like spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as aisles for shopping; cups with a single parent holder, the clever fold mechanism that can be operated one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks quite well.
These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The lighter the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. double pram buggy 's still loaded with plenty of features like an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front, which makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. Just over PS1,000 is a very affordable stroller. 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 two toddlers or a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-by-side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can modify them as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of a car 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 convert from a single seat to a double in just minutes. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has 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 like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. They are great to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They also can easily accommodate twins and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). They offer a generous basket and come with all the extras you might require, including rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair and can be a bit long to get through doors.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this buggy features elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. small double buggy comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be secured and removed with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible and can be stored with the backrest up to make it easy to access.
This is the ideal choice for families looking to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins or a toddler, as well as three children when you add the 'PiggyBack board'. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on roads and in cities too.
