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

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate children up to 50lbs per seat.

A great barebones budget double that has rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a large storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

In general, smallest double buggy pushchairs are wider 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 accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that make them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can handle city streets and theme parks quite well.

In terms of cost they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter the double buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops easy. It's also extremely affordable at more than PS1,000. 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 an infant and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety when you're out at the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide selection of seating options that allow you to modify the seat as your children 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 hold two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to change from a single seat to a double travel stroller in merely minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; the standing fold is simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are perfect for narrow aisles and doors and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras like liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies usually have your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tried, this best twin buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are simple to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. It's also easy to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes 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 if you add the option of a "PiggyBack" board) This is a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.
