20 Trailblazers Leading The Way In Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in a Chicco OHlalà Twin Double Stroller: Lightweight Compact Versatile Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double that has small footprint (for narrow entrances and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate children up to 50 pounds per seat.

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

Size

In general double pushchairs are larger 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 make them stand out, including generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and the clever fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for rough terrain, but can handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

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

Weight

The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need 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 windows that peek out as well as a quick-release fold which can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles easy. 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 well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, whether you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them as you travel around the supermarket or the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations which allows you to alter to your child's needs as they grow. Some offer the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great illustration. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car seat. The adaptors make it easy to change from a single seat to a double in just minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats and a standing fold that's quick and easy to do 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 ideal for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, while they are able to accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket and come with all the accessories you could require, such as rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single-seater and may be too large to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable lightweight twin buggy doubles we've test. It has stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window, a padded toddler seat with an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as a cup holder for one parent. Testers are awestruck by the way the seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat, and also say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as simple as possible, and stores with the backrest upright for easy access.

This is a great option for families who want to expand with their children. It is available in 30 different configurations. It can hold twins, a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add an 'PiggyBack Board'. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on kerbs and in the city too. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children ages 0-6. of six.
