What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy<br /><br />A compact side-byside with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 pounds.<br /><br /><br /><br />A great barebones budget double with front and rear suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of various heights.<br /><br />Size<br /><br />In general double pushchairs are generally wider 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 lets them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.<br /><br />In terms of cost, these types of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.<br /><br />Weight<br /><br />The lighter a double buggy is, the easier 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 the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in just a few seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. 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'.<br /><br />Flexibility<br /><br />A good double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can alter them as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.<br /><br />The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent illustration. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors let you change from single to double in seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows in both seats and a standing fold that's quick and easy to do with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.<br /><br />The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, while they can easily hold twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). The basket is generous and comes with all the extras including raincovers and liners.<br /><br />Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.<br /><br />Comfort<br /><br />This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, ensuring that your children can enjoy the view. <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/loafclaus9/0hysbf45/">double pram pushchair</a> features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests and an integrated cup holder for one parent.

It's also easy to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible and can be stored by putting the backrest up for easy access.<br /><br />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) this is a fantastic option for families who are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on kerbs and in the city too. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.<br /><br />
