What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-by-side double that has a compact footprint (for narrow doors and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate children up to 50 pounds per seat.
Budget double with front and back suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.
Size
Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width lets them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

Weight
The heavier the double buggy, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features including a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's also super-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 a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way 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. They also come with a wide selection of seating options which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow, and some even come with the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert one seat to a double in merely minutes. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows on both seats and a standing fold that's simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. sit n stand double stroller are great to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras including liners and raincovers.
Tandem buggies typically have your children seated side-by-side, which can make them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats so your children have a great view. It also has nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as an individual cup holder for parents. Testers love the way the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand. The handle is simple to twist and makes it easy to fold. It also stores with the backrest raised 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 fantastic option for families that are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children ages 0-6. of six.
