What to Look For in a double travel buggy (visit the following website)

A compact side-by-side with tiny footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children weighing up to 50lbs.

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

Size

In general double pushchairs are larger than single and double stroller models, especially when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that make them stand out, such as 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; a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that can be done with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain but can manage city streets and theme parks quite well.

In terms of price tags they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double stroller-buggy is, the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features like the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in just a few seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels at the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's also extremely affordable at over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a toddler and a baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the park or shopping. Many have a variety of seats so that you can modify them as your child grows. Some even allow you to add the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert from a single seat to a cheap double buggy in just seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or even a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which is available separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have children seated side-by-side, which makes them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles that we have tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also features a large UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an RumbleSeat with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as cups holder for one parent. Testers love the way the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are easy to secure and remove with one hand. It's also easy to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as simple as possible and also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on kerbs and in the city too. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
