What's The Job Market For Double Travel Buggy Professionals?

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-byside double buggy from birth with small footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 pounds.

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

Size

In general double pushchairs are generally wider 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 carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The lighter a double buggy is the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is an excellent option if weight is an issue. It's got plenty of features including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds with four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain, and a swivel wheel at the front that makes it easy to navigate narrow aisles of supermarkets and stores. Just over PS1,000, it's also a super-affordable twin 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, no matter if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you go to the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seating configurations, so you can modify the seat as your child grows. Some even permit the addition of the option of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors that are easy to use permit you to switch from a single seat to a double in a matter of seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform using just one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect for narrow aisles and doors, while they can easily hold twins, a baby or even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you buy separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the accessories you could require, such as liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are typically designed with your children seated together. This makes them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They have a larger footprint than a one-seater and can be too large to fit through doors.

Comfort

One of the more comfortable lightweight twin stroller doubles we've tested, this buggy features seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so that your children can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat, which has an adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened in 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 upright for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' Board) it's a great option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
