What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-byside double with small footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children weighing up to 50lbs.
Budget double with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.
Size
Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows with 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 is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.
These side-by-side buggies are light and have surprisingly low price tags.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. double pram pushchair is a good choice if you need to be cognizant of weight, since it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight shops and supermarket aisles simple. With a price of just over P1,000 is a very affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A good double buggy can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep your eyes on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide selection of seating options that allow you to modify the seat as your children develop, and some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert from one seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.
Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. They are perfect for navigating narrow doors and aisles. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a larger child by adding UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long to get through doorways.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features elevated stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as an individual cup holder for parents. Testers love the way the seats recline by pushing a lever under each seat, and also say that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten using just one hand. The handle is simple to twist and makes it easy to fold. It also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby 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. double pram pushchair and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as well in the city. It's also reasonably priced. double stroller recommends this product for youngsters up to the age of six.
