What to Look For in a Double Single Pushchair Travel Buggy

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

A great barebones budget double that has rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are typically larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that help navigate 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 designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The heavier a double running buggy buggy is the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating tight shops and supermarket aisles effortless. 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 double buggy newborn buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. There are a variety of seats so that you can alter the seat as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can hold two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats let you change from single to double in just a few 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 make and quick.

Tri-fold buggies such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are great to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). The basket is large and includes all terrain double buggy the accessories, such as raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting close to each other. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to fit through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles that we have test. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as a cup holder for a single parent. Testers are awestruck by how the seats recline by pushing the levers under each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand. The handle is simple to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a "PiggyBack" board) it's a great option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as as for use in cities. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children up to the age of six.
