Why Nobody Cares About Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-byside with a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate kids up to 50lbs per seat.

Budget double with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.

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. This extra width lets them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out 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 maneuvering narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless. It's also affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins or even a toddler and baby. The narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety while you go to the grocery store or in the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can adjust them as your child grows. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great illustration. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors for car seats let you change from a single to a double in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats and the standing fold is quick and easy to do with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). They provide a spacious basket and come with all the accessories you could require, such as liners and rain covers.

Push Chairs And Prams are generally made with your kids sitting close to each other. 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 have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've examined. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as cups holder for one parent. Testers love the way that the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to secure and remove using just one hand. The handle is easy to turn making it easy to fold. It also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.
