What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-byside with tiny 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 50 lbs per seat.
Budget double 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 - 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, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that assist in navigating tight spaces such as 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 are not built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides well.
In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.
Weight
The lighter a off road double buggy buggy is the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A double pushchairs buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a toddler and baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-by-side models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide selection of seating options, so you can adapt them as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to support two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert from a single seat to a double buggy from birth in just seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins or a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is large and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge ready to grow double stroller maneuver up and over kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to pass through doorways.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be secured and removed with just one hand. The handle is easy to turn making it easy to fold. It also stores with the backrest raised for easy access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) this is a fantastic choice for families who are looking to expand with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on streets and in cities too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children up to the age of six.
