What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-byside with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children weighing up to 50lbs.

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

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 lets them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a smart 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 quite well.

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

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheels on the front, which allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. It's priced at just over $1000, 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 good double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-byside models keep your children accounted for and will help you keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations that allow you to modify them as your children grow, and some even have the option to add a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors make it easy to change from a single seat to a double in merely seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade with adjustable leg rests as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; the standing fold is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, while they can easily hold twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). They provide a spacious basket and include all terrain double stroller the accessories you may need, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting together. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable and lightweight doubles that we have examined. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, so your children can enjoy the view. It also comes with a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a the peek-a-boo window, and a cushioned toddler seat that includes an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests and a cup holder for a single parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened and unfastened with one hand. It's also easy to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as simple as possible and can be stored with the backrest upright for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a "PiggyBack" board) it's a great choice for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the 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.
