"Ask Me Anything:10 Responses To Your Questions About Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a cheap double buggy Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double buggy converts to single with an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children weighing up to 50lbs.

A fantastic budget double with front and rear suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

double strollers pushchairs tend to be wider 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 enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

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

Weight

The lighter a double-best twin buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which stows flat within minutes; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops easy. Just over PS1,000 It's also a great value stroller. 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 baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-by-side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them while you navigate the supermarket or the park. They also come with a wide range of seat configurations, so you can adapt to your child's needs as they grow. Some come with the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors for car seats allow you to change from a single seat to a double single pushchair, by Zenwriting, in just a few seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats; the standing fold is simple and easy to perform with just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies such as 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 a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which is available separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras 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 they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit longer to get through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be secured and removed with just one hand. The handle is simple to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be stored by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) This is a great option for families who want to be able to grow with their child. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on roads and in cities too. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends it to children from 6 to 12 years old.
