7 Small Changes That Will Make A Big Difference In Your Double Travel Buggy

What to Look For in strollers double strollers -by-side that has a small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame for kids up to 50 lbs per seat. Budget double with back and front suspension for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars and large storage basket. Size Double pushchairs are generally larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good thing is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. They also have other key characteristics that make them stand out, like spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; a one-parent cup holder and the clever fold mechanism that can be operated by one hand; and 10 inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can manage city streets and theme parks quite well. In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable. Weight The lighter the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight. It's the lightest in our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come 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 an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops effortless. It's also affordable at just over 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 can provide a lot of flexibility, no matter if you have twins or an infant and a toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to fit into tight spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep track of your children and keep them safe while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. There are many buggies that come with a variety of seat configurations which allows you to alter them as your children develop, and some offer the option of adding a ride-on 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 convert one seat to a double in just seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy shade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is easy to do and quick. The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors. They can also easily accommodate twins or a child and a big kid with the addition of UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (which is sold separately). The basket is generous and comes with all the extras, such as raincovers and liner. Tandem buggies usually have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more robust on uneven surfaces but can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too long to fit through doors. Comfort One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats, so your kids can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests; and an individual cup holder for parents. Testers love the way that the seats recline by pushing an adjustable lever underneath each seat. They also note that the straps are easy to fasten and unfasten with just one hand. It's also easy to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and can be stored with the backrest upright to make it easy to access. With 30 different configurations (it'll carry twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a “PiggyBack” board) it's a great choice for families who want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension makes it suitable for kerbs, as well as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this to children up to the age of six.
