What to Look For in a double travel buggy (posteezy.com)

A compact side-by-side that has tiny footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.

A great barebones budget double with front and rear suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

double umbrella stroller pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that come with SPF 50 protection and large 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 can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be folded flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. It's also affordable at just more than PS1,000. 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. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-byside models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep your eyes on them as you travel around the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seat configurations so you can adjust the seat as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors let you convert one seat to a strollers double in just minutes. It comes with a huge pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are great to navigate narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins or a child and a larger child with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liner.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater twin pushchair and may be a bit too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles that we have test. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable foot and leg rests as well as cups holder for one parent. Testers love how the seats recline independently by pressing the levers under each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to secure and remove using just one hand. It's also simple to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be, and stores with the backrest upright to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a "PiggyBack" board) This is a great option for families who are looking to expand with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as as for use in cities. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends it for children up to six years old.
