The 3 Greatest Moments In Double Travel Buggy History
What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-by-side double that has small footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame for double buggy for twins kids up to 50lbs per seat.
A fantastic budget double that has rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of various heights.
Size
Double pushchairs are generally wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width allows them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that make them stand out, like generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that can be done one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.
These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features like an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain, and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also extremely affordable at over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A good double buggy (simply click the following web site) will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you go to the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter them as your children develop, and some have the option to add a ride-on or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its easy-to-use adaptors let you change from a single to a stroller double in a matter of seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.
Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children seated together. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to pass through doorways.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this buggy features raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single and double stroller-parent cup holder. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened or unfastened with one hand. It's also easy to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be, and stores with the backrest up for easy access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) This is a great option for families who are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as well as for use in cities. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
