What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double that has an incredibly compact twin stroller footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 lbs.

A great barebones budget double that has rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless. 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 good small double buggy buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-by-side models will keep your children well-cared for and allow you to keep your eyes on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations, so you can adapt the seat 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 be used to support two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to convert one seat to a double in merely minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats and a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are ideal for narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies typically have children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable, lightweight double buggy doubles we've tested the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so that your children can have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; and the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. The handle is simple to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised for easy access.

This is a great option for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or three kids if you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
