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 doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.
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 typically wider than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width lets them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key characteristics that make them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.
These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with plenty of features like a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's also affordable at just over a thousand dollars. double buggy side by side Push Chairs And Prams can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A double buggy is a great option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them as you travel around the supermarket or the park. There are many buggies that come with a range of seat configurations that allow you to modify them as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can hold two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from a single seat to a double in just a few seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.
Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They can also easily accommodate twins and a large kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting together. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit too long to pass through doors.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so your children enjoy the view; large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. 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 easy to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as simple as possible and also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.
This is the ideal choice for families that want to expand with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add a 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
