10 Apps That Can Help You Control Your Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

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

A budget-friendly, basic double buggy with carrycot that has rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents with different heights.

Size

Double pushchairs tend to be larger than single ones, especially when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These buggies that are lightweight come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter a best double buggy-buggy is the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's got many features, including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheels on the front, which allows you to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's also extremely affordable at over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can adjust them as your child grows. Some even allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to support two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert from a single seat to a double in merely seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to make and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, while they are able to accommodate twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). They come with a large basket and include all the extras you might require, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single and double stroller-seater twin pushchairs stroller side by side - look at this site, and may be a bit too long to pass through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable, lightweight double pushchair doubles we've tested, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so that your children can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests; and a single-parent cup holder. Testers are awestruck by how the seats recline by pushing the levers under each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to secure and remove using just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy 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) this is a fantastic choice for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension mean it's good on roads and in cities too. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for youngsters up to the age of six.
