What's The Current Job Market For Double Travel Buggy Professionals?

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

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 budget-friendly, basic double jogging stroller with front and rear suspensions to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

In general double pushchairs are generally wider than single models - particularly when they're side-by-side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as 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 built for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides well.

In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier a double buggy is the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be cognizant of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension that can cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops simple. 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 an excellent option for parents with twins or even a toddler and a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the grocery store or in the park. There are many buggies that come with a variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter them as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from single to double in just a few seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests, and a peekaboo window in both seats. A standing fold is easy to make and quick.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are ideal for narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories including raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver over and up kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit longer for getting through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried the buggy has raised stadium-style seating for both seats so that your children can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers are awestruck by how the seats recline individually by squeezing a lever under each seat, and say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as is possible and can be stored 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 if you add the option of a "PiggyBack" board) this is a fantastic option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on roads and in cities too. It is also very affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children ages 0-6. of six.
