What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy A side-byside double with a compact footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add www.pushchairsandprams.uk or carrycots (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children up to 50 pounds. Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket. Size Double pushchairs tend to be larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well. These side-by-side buggies are light and are surprisingly affordable. Weight The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in just a few seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also super-affordable at just over PS1,000. 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 can provide a lot of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating narrow spaces, while side by side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can modify them as your child develops. Some even permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board. The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors let you change from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade with adjustable leg rests as well as windows that peek out from both seats as well as the standing fold is simple and quick to fold using just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain. Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are great to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They also can easily accommodate twins and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers. Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting together. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too large to pass through doorways. Comfort One of the more comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features elevated 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 an individual cup holder for parents. Testers love how the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as simple as possible and also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access. With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) it's a great option for families who are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this to youngsters up to the age of six.
