What to Look For in a Double best travel double stroller Buggy

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

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

Size

In general double buggy side by side pushchairs are generally wider than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. The good news is that this extra width allows them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a smart 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 well.

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

Weight

The heavier the double buggy for Twins buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and a quick-release fold that stows flat within seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops easy. 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 baby and toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-byside models will keep your children well-cared for and will help you keep an eye on them while you go to the grocery store or the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seat configurations so you can adjust them as your child develops. Some allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite duo is a great example. It can be used to support two seats, or even a car-seat. The adaptors let you change from a single seat to a double in just seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to make and quick.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. They are ideal for navigating narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins or a child and a big kid by adding UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is available separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the extras you might require, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies usually have your children seated side-by-side, which can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to pass through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight twin buggy doubles we've tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, so your children can enjoy the view. It also has an enormous UPF 50+ canopy that has a the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests and cups holder for a single parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. The testers also appreciate the fact that the straps can be fastened or unfastened in one hand. The handle is simple to turn, making it simple to fold. It can also be stored with the backrest up for easy access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a "PiggyBack" board) it's a great option for families that want to be able to grow with their child.
