What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

Size

In general double pushchairs are larger than single models - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other important features that make them stand out, including large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; a one-parent cup holder and a smart fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

In terms of price tags, these types of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double pushchair-buggy is the easier it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front, which makes it easy to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's also 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 good nipper double buggy (Doodleordie.com) buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow. Some come with the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can be used to support two seats, or a car seat. The adaptors let you change from one seat to a double in merely minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.

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 or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They come with a large basket, and come with all terrain double buggy the extras you might require, such as liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting side-by-side. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and can be a bit long to get through doors.
