7 Simple Changes That'll Make The Difference With Your Double Travel Buggy
What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy
A side-byside double with a compact footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate children up to 50 lbs per seat.
Budget double 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 - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
These side-by-side buggies are light and come with surprisingly low prices.
Weight
The lighter a double buggy is the more easy it will be to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our Lab tests, is a great choice if weight is an issue. It's still loaded with plenty of features like a large pop-out canopy with SPF50 and a peekaboo window as well as a quick-release folding mechanism that can be stowed flat in just a few 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. Just over PS1,000, it's also a super-affordable stroller. 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 a baby. The narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you go to the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide selection of seating options that allow you to modify to your child's needs as they grow. Some come with the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat.
twin stroller is a fantastic example. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its adaptors for car seats allow you to change from a single seat to a double in just a few seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows on both seats and a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. They are great for navigating narrow aisles and doors. They also can easily accommodate twins or a child and a large kid with the addition of UPPAbaby’s"PiggyBack" board (which is sold separately). They offer a generous basket and include all the accessories you may require, such as rain covers and liners.
Tandem buggies are usually made with your kids sitting close to each other. This can make them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They are larger than a single-seater and may be too large to pass through doorways.
Comfort
One of the more comfortable lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has seats that are elevated to the level of stadium seats so your children enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat and add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. Testers are awestruck by the way that the seats recline individually by squeezing the levers under each seat, and also say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with one hand. The handle is easy to turn, making it simple to fold. It can also be put away by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.
This is the perfect choice for families who want to develop with their children. It is available in a variety of configurations, including 30. It can hold twins with a toddler as well as a baby or three kids when you add the 'PiggyBack board'. pushchair twin and soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs as well in the city. It is also very reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children up to the age of six.
