What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate children up to 50lbs per seat.

A budget-friendly, basic double with rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

In general double pushchairs are generally wider than single models - especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good thing is that this extra width allows them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles, 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 are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.

In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. Just over PS1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A Double Stroller for Twins buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you go to the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can adjust them as your child develops. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double stroller with car seat in seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protectioabyGearLab recommends it for children from 6 to 12 years old.
