What NOT To Do When It Comes To The Double Travel Buggy Industry

What to Look For in a thule double stroller Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with small footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame for kids up to 50 pounds per seat.

A fantastic budget double that has rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

In general, double 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 allows them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they 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 the double running buggy buggy the more easy it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. With a price of just over P1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or a baby and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-by-side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and will help you keep an eye on them as you travel around the supermarket or the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seating configurations, so you can modify them as your child grows. Some permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent illustration. It can be used to support two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you 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 with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; a standing fold that's simple and easy to perform with just one hand; and a premium suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

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

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They are larger than a one-seater and can be too big to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles that we have tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also comes with an enormous UPF 50+ canopy that has a the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests and a cup holder for a single parent. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline individually by squeezing a lever under each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. The handle is easy to twist making it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised for easy access.

This is the perfect choice for families looking to grow with their children. It comes in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as three children when you add the 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and the soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as well as for use in cities. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children up to the age of six.
