The Three Greatest Moments In Double Travel Buggy History

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

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

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

Size

Double pushchairs are generally wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also come with other key characteristics that make them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and the clever fold mechanism that is able to be completed by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't built for tough terrain but are able to handle city streets and theme parks 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 move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight. It's the lightest of our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as nice-sized 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 an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops easy. It's also super-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 double buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a toddler and a baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the park or shopping. Many also have a wide selection of seating options which allows you to alter to your child's needs as they grow, and some even have the option to add a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent 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 seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you may require, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies usually have your children seated side-by-side, which can make them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit longer to pass through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested This buggy comes with seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats, so your kids can enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy 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. Testers love the way that the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to secure and remove with one hand. The handle is easy to twist making it easy to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

This is the ideal choice for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can carry twins or a toddler, as well as three children when you add a 'PiggyBack board'. The large basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well in the city. It is also very reasonably priced.  Get the facts  recommends it for kids from 6 to 12 years old.
