What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A compact side-by-side with a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity 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
In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - particularly when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width enables them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that make them stand out, including large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, the clever fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can 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 that are side-by-side are quite affordable.
Weight
The heavier a double buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It's got many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain, and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. With a price of just over P1,000 It's also a great value stroller. 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, no matter if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the park or shopping. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify them as your children grow. Some come with the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert from one seat to a double in just minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to perform and fast.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories including liners and raincovers.
double pram and pushchair Pushchairs And Prams are usually designed with your children seated side-by-side. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children enjoy the view; large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers love the way the seats recline individually by squeezing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and can be stored by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.
This is a great option for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can carry twins, a toddler and three children if you add the 'PiggyBack board'. The large basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children up to the age of six.
