What to Look For in a Double Travel twin buggy from birth

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

A budget-friendly, basic double with front and rear suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket and padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are typically wider than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width lets them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, such as generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, an innovative fold mechanism that can be operated with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double-buggy is the more easy it is to move and lift. 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 many features, including an enormous pop-out canopy that has SPF50 and a 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 on the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops. Just over PS1,000 is a very affordable pushchair twin twin umbrella stroller side by side (please click the following website). It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins, or even a toddler and baby. Narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into tight spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you go to the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seating configurations, so you can adjust them as your child develops. Some even permit the addition of a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect example. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert one seat to a double in just seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats and the standing fold is quick and easy to do using just one hand; and a premium suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect for negotiating narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or even a baby and a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras like raincovers and liners.

Tandem buggies are generally made with your kids sitting close to each other. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver around and over kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single seater and can be too large to fit through doors.

Comfort

This is among the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've examined. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can enjoy the view. It also features an enormous UPF 50+ canopy with a the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in, adjustable foot and leg rests as well as a cup holder for one parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened with one hand. The handle is simple to twist and makes it easy to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) this is a fantastic choice for families who are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension makes it ideal on roads and in cities too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends it to children up to six years old.
