This Is The Ultimate Cheat Sheet For Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Double Stroller With Bassinet Travel Buggy

A compact double stroller side-by-side that has an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's weight capacity for children weighing up to 50lbs.

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

Size

double buggy side by side pushchairs are typically wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles and 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 quite well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with plenty of features like a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front, which makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. 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. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow, and some even come with the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors allow you to convert from one seat to a double in merely seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; an easy standing fold that is quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They provide a spacious basket and come with all the extras you might need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit longer to get through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight doubles that we have test. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests as well as a cup holder for one parent. Testers are awestruck by the way the seats recline individually by squeezing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are easy to secure and remove with one hand. The handle is simple to twist, making it simple to fold. It can also be put away by putting the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) This is a great choice for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on roads and in cities too. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this for youngsters up to the age of six.
