What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-byside double with a compact footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 pounds.
A budget-friendly, basic double that has rear and front suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and 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. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that make them stand out, like generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; cups with a single parent holder, the clever fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain, but can handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.
In terms of cost they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be aware of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can cope with rough terrain; and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops simple. It's also affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze into small spaces. tandem double stroller -by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you go to the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can modify them as your child grows. Some permit the addition of the option of 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 adaptors for car seats let you change from single to double in a matter of seconds. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They are also able to accommodate twins and a big kid with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liner.
Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children seated close to each other. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a one-seater and can be too large to pass through doorways.
Comfort

The handle is simple to turn and makes it easy to fold. It also stores by putting the backrest up for easy access.
