What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-by-side double that has an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame for kids up to 50 lbs per seat.
Budget double with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket.
Size
In general double pushchair s 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 enables them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.
These buggies that are lightweight have surprisingly low price tags.
Weight
The lighter the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be cognizant of weight, since it's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops simple. It's also extremely affordable at over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are great to fit into tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or the park. There are a variety of seats so that you can adjust the seat as your child grows. Some permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert from a single seat to a double in just seconds. double pram pushchair comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.
Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors while they are able to accommodate twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which is available separately). They offer a generous basket and include all the accessories you may require, such as rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are easy to secure and remove using just one hand. The handle is simple to twist and makes it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised 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 carry twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids when you add the 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as well as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
