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 carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children weighing up to 50lbs.

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

Size

In general double buggy converts to single 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 enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that help them stand out, like generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swivel lock front wheels which help navigate narrow spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but are able to handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter 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, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes navigating tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's also affordable at just 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 an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the track of your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can adjust 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 great example. It can accommodate two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors for car seats permit you to switch from a single to a double seat stroller in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as windows that peek out from both seats; a standing fold that's simple and easy to perform using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

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

Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated close to each other. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long for getting through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as an individual cup holder for parents. Testers love how the seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are easy to secure and remove with just one hand. It's also easy to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible and can be stored with the backrest upright to make it easy to access.

This is the ideal choice for families that want to expand with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids with a 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
