What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

Size
Double pushchairs are typically larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width allows them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, like generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires that help navigate tight spots such as shopping aisles; a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't made for tough terrain but handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.
These buggies that are lightweight have surprisingly low price tags.
Weight
The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent option for those who are concerned about weight. issue. It still has plenty of features like the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window and a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front that makes it easy to maneuver narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores.

Flexibility
A double buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. Buggies that are narrow are a great way to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and keep them safe when you're out at the supermarket or park. Many also have a wide selection of seating options, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to hold two seats or a car seat. The adaptors allow you to convert one seat to a double in merely minutes. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats; an easy standing fold that is quick and easy to do with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the accessories you could require, including rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies typically have children seated together, which makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to pass through doors.
