What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact twin stroller side-by-side with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children up to 50 lbs.

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

Size

In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These buggies that are lightweight Twin buggy have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The lighter a double to single buggy buggy is the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. Just over PS1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed pushchair double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. There are many buggies that come with a selection of seating options that allow you to modify the seat as your children develop, and some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can hold two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from a single seat to a double travel stroller in seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is simple to make and quick.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are ideal for narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is generous and comes with all the extras, such as liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting side-by-side. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single seater and can be too large to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles that we have examined. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy that has a windows that peek out, an upholstered toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests and cups holder for a single parent.

The handle is simple to twist, making it simple to fold. It can also be put away by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.

It can hold twins, a toddler and three children when you add a 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities.
