What to Look For in a double buggy sale Travel Buggy

A side-by-side Double Pram Buggy with a compact footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children weighing up to 50lbs.

A great barebones budget double that has rear and front suspension to make light work of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket and a padded handlebar for parents of various heights.

Size

Double pushchairs are typically larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. 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 canopy that come with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to assist in navigating tight spaces such as shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't 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 easier it will be to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be aware of weight, as it's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests but still offers plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and a swivel front wheel that makes navigating tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's also affordable at just more than PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy will provide a great deal of flexibility, regardless if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for fitting through tight spaces, while side-by-side models keep your children accounted for and will help you keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations that allow you to modify to your child's needs as they develop, and some offer the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent illustration. It can fit two seats or a car seat, and its adaptors that are easy to use let you change from a single to a double in seconds. It comes with 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 perform and fast.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another alternative. Their slim frames are ideal 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 can purchase separately). They provide a spacious basket, and come with all the extras you might require, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have children seated side-by-side by side double stroller, which can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They usually have a wider footprint than a single-seater stroller and may be a bit too long for getting through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight double stroller doubles we've tested. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, so your children can enjoy the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window, and a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as a cup holder for a single parent. Testers love the way the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and also say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with one second hand double buggy. The handle is easy to twist and makes it easy to fold. It also stores by putting the backrest up to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a 'PiggyBack' board) this is a fantastic option for families that want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as well in the city. It's also affordable. BabyGearLab recommends this to children ages 0-6. of six.
