What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-byside with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate kids up to 50lbs per seat.
A fantastic budget double with rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents with different heights.
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 accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The lighter the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight, as it's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes navigating tight shops and supermarket aisles effortless. 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 can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are great for navigating tight spaces, while side-byside models ensure that your children are properly cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or the park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can modify them as your child develops. Some permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its easy-to-use adaptors permit you to switch from single to double in just a few seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows on both seats as well as the standing fold is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). The basket is large and includes all the accessories like raincovers and liner.
Tandem buggies usually have your children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.
