What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-by-side double that has a compact footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors), to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children up to 50 lbs.
A budget-friendly, basic double with rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket and padded handlebar for parents with different heights.
Size
In general double pushchairs are generally wider than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width lets them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles, 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 well.
These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features like the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels on the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. With a price of just over P1,000 It's also a great value stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great to fit into tight spaces, while side-byside models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them while you go to the grocery store or park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify them as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on or car seat.
double pram and pushchair is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car seat. The adaptors let you convert from a single seat to a double in just 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 on both seats and an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect for narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket and include all the accessories you may require, such as liners and rain covers.
Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They are larger than a one-seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.
Comfort
This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, so your children can take in the view. It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as an integrated cup holder for one parent. Testers love how the seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to secure and remove using just one hand. It's also simple to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be and also stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.
This is the perfect choice for families that want to develop with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can hold twins with a toddler as well as three children if you add the 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as as for use in cities. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
