Why No One Cares About Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double that has a compact footprint (for narrow doorways and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate kids up to 50lbs per seat.

A budget-friendly, basic double buggy with car seat with rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are generally wider than single to double stroller ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate 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 built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.

In terms of price tags, these types of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight twin buggy of our Lab tests, is an excellent option for those who are concerned about weight. issue. It's got plenty of features like a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo windows, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. 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 that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or the park. Many have a variety of seats so that you can adjust them as your child grows. Some permit the addition of the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors let you change from one seat to a double pushchair for newborn and toddler in just seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats and an easy standing fold that is quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are great for narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated close to each other. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too large to pass through doorways.

This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles that we have examined. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a the peek-a-boo window, and a cushioned toddler seat that includes an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as cups holder for a single parent.
