What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

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

A great barebones budget double with rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents with different heights.

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 take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; cups with a single parent holder, a smart fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't made for rough terrain but can manage city streets and theme parks quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter the double buggy the lighter it is, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few minutes; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. It's priced at just over $1000 is a very affordable twin stroller side by side. 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, no matter if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the park or shopping. There are a variety of seats so that you can modify them as your child develops. 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 hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors let you change from a single seat to a double pushchair from birth seat in a matter of minutes. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras, such as liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a one-seater and can be too big to fit through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as an individual cup holder for parents. The testers love the way the seats recline individually by squeezing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten with one hand. The handle is simple to twist, making it simple to fold. It also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) This is a great choice for families who want to be able to grow with their child. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends it for children between the ages of 6 and 6.
