What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double that has small footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate kids up to 50lbs per seat.

Budget double with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket.

Size

Double pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that make them stand out, including large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, since it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has 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 to cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes navigating tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. 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 buggy that is well-designed will offer a huge amount of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the park or shopping. They also come with a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter them as your children grow. Some offer the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins or a child and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras like raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces however they can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a one-seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.
