The Reasons To Focus On The Improvement Of Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side that has tiny footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children weighing up to 50lbs.

A fantastic budget double with rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents with different heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are typically more spacious than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width allows them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, including large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as aisles for shopping; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as 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 handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops simple. It's also affordable at just over a thousand dollars. 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 two toddlers or a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-byside models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations, so you can adapt them as your children develop, and some offer the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats allow you to change from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket and include all the accessories you may require, such as rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting together. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles that we have tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and a cushioned toddler seat that includes an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as a cup holder for one parent. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline independently by pressing the levers under each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible, and stores with the backrest up for easy access.

This is a great option for families who want to expand with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can carry twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids with a 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on roads and in cities too. double pushchair pushchairsandprams.uk is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for kids up to six years old.
