Weight
The heavier a double buggy is the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be cognizant of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of minutes; four-wheel suspension to cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless. It's also super-affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A
double stroller with car seat buggy that is well-designed 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-by-side models will keep your children well-cared for and allow you to keep your eyes on them as you go to the grocery store or the park. Many also have a wide range of seat configurations that allow you to modify them as your children grow. Some have the option to add a ride-on or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is a great illustration. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from single to double in a matter of seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or even a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). The basket is spacious and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liners.
Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long for getting through doorways.
Comfort
This is among the most comfortable and lightweight doubles we've tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, so your children can enjoy the view. It also features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as a cup holder for one parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be fastened and removed with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle, making it as easy as could be and can be stored with the backrest up to make it easy to access.
With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) This is a great choice for families who want the flexibility to grow with their child. The large basket and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs as well as for use in cities. It's also very well priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children up to the age of six.
