Responsible For The Double Travel Buggy Budget? 12 Best Ways To Spend Your Money

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side that has a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.

A fantastic budget nipper double buggy that has rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents with different heights.

Size

off road double buggy pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a smart 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 quite well.

In terms of cost, these types of lightweight buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter a off road double buggy buggy is the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's also affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A stokke double stroller buggy that is well-designed can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the grocery store or in the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can modify the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert from a single seat to a double pram buggy in just seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats; a standing fold that's quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a premium suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great for navigating narrow doors and aisles. They also can easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories like liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies typically have children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit longer to get through doorways.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've examined. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, so your children can take in the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and a cushioned toddler seat that includes an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as an integrated cup holder for one parent. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline independently by pressing the levers under each seat, and say that the straps are simple to secure and remove using just one hand. The handle is simple to turn making it easy to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' Board) it's a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as in the city. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this product for youngsters up to the age of six.
