What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-byside double with a compact footprint (for narrow entrances and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame for kids up to 50lbs per seat.
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 wider than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their 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 and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.
These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is a great option for those who are concerned about weight. issue. It's got many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front, which makes it easy to navigate tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's also super-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 a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and help you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or park. Many have a variety of seats so that you can adjust the seat as your child grows. Some permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can be used to support two seats or a car seat. double buggy converts to single pushchairsandprams.uk allow you to convert one seat to a double in just seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats and an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold 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 comes with all the extras including raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too large to fit through doors.
