What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double with a compact footprint (for narrow doorways and on public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to grow the frame for kids up to 50lbs per seat.

A great barebones budget double with front and rear suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a massive storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of different heights.

Size

Double pushchairs tend to be more spacious than single ones, especially when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width lets them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles, 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 can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.

Weight

The heavier the strollers double buggy the lighter it 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, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless.

Flexibility

A double buggy that is well-designed can provide a lot of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or two toddlers or a baby. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you go to the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter the seat as your children grow. Some have the option to add an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors allow you to change from one seat to a double seat in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ canopy sunshade with adjustable leg rests as well as windows that peek out from both seats as well as the standing fold is simple and easy to perform using just one hand; and a premium suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). The basket is large and comes with all the extras like raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This can make them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver over and up kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and can be a bit long to pass through doors.
