20 Trailblazers Leading The Way In Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with a compact footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children weighing up to 50lbs.

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

Size

Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, like spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, the clever fold mechanism that can be done with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight double stroller buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles easy. It's priced at just over $1000, it's also a super-affordable twin stroller side by side. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-byside models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep your eyes on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. Many also have a wide selection of seating options that allow you to modify to your child's needs as they grow. Some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from a single to a double in just a few seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats as well as a standing fold that's simple and easy to perform with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect for narrow aisles and doors and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children seated close to each other. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've examined. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and an upholstered toddler seat with an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable foot and leg rests as well as cups holder for one parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened or unfastened in one hand. It's also easy to fold with 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 the perfect choice for families who want to develop with their children. It comes in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add a 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as in the city. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it for children between the ages of 6 and 6.
