What to Look For in a double strollers Travel Buggy

A side-by-side off road double buggy with small double stroller footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 pounds.

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

Size

Double pushchairs are generally more spacious than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width lets them to accommodate 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 help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

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

Weight

The heavier a double buggy is the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out 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 getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. With a price of just over P1,000, 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 buggy is a great option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them as you go to the grocery store or park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations, so you can adapt to your child's needs as they develop, and some come with the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use allow you to change from single to double in a matter of seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are great to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins and a big kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They offer a generous basket and come with all the extras you might require, such as liners and rain covers.

tandem double stroller buggies are usually designed with your children seated together. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried the buggy has seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so that your children can enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as an individual cup holder for parents. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be secured and unfastened with one hand. The handle is simple to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest raised ready to grow double stroller make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) this is a fantastic option for families that are looking to expand with their child. The large basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well in the city. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this to youngsters up to the age of six.
