The History Of 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 carrycots or seats (with adaptors), to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 pounds.

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

Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models - especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles, a cup holder for 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 they can handle city streets and theme park rides 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 a double-buggy is the more easy it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless. It's priced at just over $1000 is a very affordable stroller. 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 baby and toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models will keep your children well-cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify to your child's needs as they grow. Pushchairs And Prams have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its easy-to-use adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double in seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to make and quick.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories, such as liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver up and over kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to pass through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; and a single-parent cup holder. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened and unfastened with one hand. The handle is simple to twist and makes it easy to fold. It can also be stored by putting the backrest up for easy access.

This is the perfect choice for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can carry twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids with an 'PiggyBack Board'. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension makes it ideal on roads and in cities too. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
