What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double stroller with car seat with small footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 lbs.

A great barebones budget double with rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

In general double pushchair stroller for twins (http://Kmelec.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=30614) pushchairs are larger 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 take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key characteristics that make 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 like shopping aisles cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated one-handed; 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 these kinds of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The heavier the best compact double stroller buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be cognizant of weight. It’s the lightest we’ve seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. It’s also extremely affordable at more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional’sidepack’.

Flexibility

A good double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and keep them safe when you’re out at the grocery store or in the park. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter them as your children grow, and some even come with the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use allow you to change from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They offer a generous basket and include all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a one-seater and can be too large to fit through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable, best lightweight double stroller doubles we’ve tested, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats, so your kids can enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies 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. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened or unfastened with one hand. It’s also simple to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible, and stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.

This is the ideal choice for families looking to grow with their children. It comes in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or three kids if you add an ‘PiggyBack Board’. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension mean it’s good on streets and in cities too. It’s also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children up to six years old.
