What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-byside with 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 lbs per seat.

Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.

Size

Double pushchairs are typically more spacious 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 that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be cognizant of weight, as it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies 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 handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering 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 is a great option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you go to the park or shopping. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow. Some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats allow you to change from single to double in seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is simple to make and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They provide a spacious basket and include all the accessories you could require, such as liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting together. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater twin umbrella stroller and may be a bit too long to get through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles that we have test. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can enjoy the view. It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, an upholstered toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests and a cup holder for one parent. The testers love the way that the seats recline individually by squeezing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are easy to secure and remove using just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be, and stores with the backrest upright for easy access.

This is the ideal choice for families looking to grow with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends it to children between the ages of 6 and 6.
