The Most Prevalent Issues In Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a double pram pushchair Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side that has an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 lbs per seat.

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

Size

In general double pushchairs are generally wider than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that come 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 operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The lighter the double strollers buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops easy. It's also affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy side by side buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-by-side models will keep your children well-cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can modify the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use permit you to switch from a single to a double infant stroller pram stroller (please click the next page) in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy, adjustable leg rests and windows that peek out from both seats and a standing fold that's simple and easy to perform using just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket and come with all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting together. 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 have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too big to fit 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+ canopies with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers love how the seats recline by pushing the levers under each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. The handle is easy to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest raised to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) this is a fantastic option for families that are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension makes it ideal on roads and in cities too. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
