What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-byside with a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's weight capacity for children weighing up to 50lbs.
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 - particularly when they're side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
These side-by-side buggies are light and are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier a double buggy is the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a 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 allows you to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. With a price of just over P1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It 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 toddler and baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for navigating tight 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 go to the grocery store or the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter them as your children grow. Some come with the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.
https://blogfreely.net/tunasoup13/its-the-perfect-time-to-broaden-your-double-strollers-options is a fantastic example. It can be used to support two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from one seat to a double in just minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting together. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They are larger than a single-seater and may be too large to fit through doorways.
Comfort
This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests as well as a cup holder for a single parent. Testers love how the seats recline individually by squeezing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are simple to fasten and unfasten with one hand. It's also simple to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends it to children between the ages of 6 and 6.
