What to Look For in a double buggy with car seat Travel Buggy

A side-byside double with small footprint (for narrow doors and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame to accommodate children up to 50lbs per seat.

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

Size

Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single and double stroller compact twin stroller (Going at Mdwrite) ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.

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

Weight

The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It still has plenty of features including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo windows and a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. 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 double buggy is a great option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great to fit into narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. There are many buggies that come with a range of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on 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 a single to a double in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and quick to fold using just one hand; and a premium suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are ideal for navigating narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins and a large kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories like liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated together. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a single seater and can be too big to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable lightweight doubles we've 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 with a the peek-a-boo window, and a cushioned toddler seat that includes an RumbleSeat with built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests and an integrated cup holder for one parent. The testers love the way the seats recline by pushing the levers under each seat, and say that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand. It's also simple to fold, with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as could be and also stores with the backrest up for easy access.

This is the ideal choice for families that want to grow with their children. It comes in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can hold twins with a toddler as well as three children when you add the 'PiggyBack board'. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as well as for use in cities. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children ages 0-6. of six.
