What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

Budget double with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.
Size
Double pushchairs are typically larger than single ones, especially when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key features that make them stand out, such as generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots such as shopping aisles; 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 manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of price tags, these types of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.
