What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-by-side with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children weighing up to 50lbs.
Budget double with front and back suspension 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 take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key characteristics that make them stand out, like large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; a one-parent cup holder and the clever fold mechanism that can be done one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of price tags, these types of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
