What to Look For in a double jogging stroller Travel Buggy
A compact side-byside with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate kids up to 50lbs per seat.
A great barebones budget smallest double car seat stroller buggy (recent post by Mozillabd) 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
In general double twin 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 accommodate 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 and swivel-lock front wheels that 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 can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
These lightweight side-by-side buggies come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The lighter the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. 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 double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the track of your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the park or shopping. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can adjust them as your child grows. Some permit the addition of the option of a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert from one seat to a double buggy with carrycot seat in a matter of seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.
Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too large to fit through doors.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so that your children can enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline by pushing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to unfasten and fasten with one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy access.
This is a great option for families that want to grow with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add a 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension makes it ideal on streets and in cities too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
