What s The Job Market For Double Travel Buggy Professionals

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact side-byside with tiny footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doors). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to expand the frame to accommodate kids up to 50 pounds per seat.

Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.

Size

Double pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, especially when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width allows them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, such as large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and windows that peek out and swivel lock front wheels that make it easier to navigate tight areas such as shopping aisles; cups with a single parent holder, 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 are able to handle city streets and theme parks fairly well.

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

Weight

The lighter a cheap double buggy-buggy is, the easier it will be to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests, but it still has plenty of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as a quick-release fold which folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can take on rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes navigating tight shops and supermarket aisles easy. It's priced at just over $1000 It's also a great value twin stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A good double pushchair with car seat buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are a great way to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models enable you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you go to the park or shopping. Many also have a wide selection of seating options that allow you to modify them as your children grow, and some even have the option to add a ride-on board or car seat.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a fantastic example. It can hold two seats or a car seat and its easy-to-use adaptors allow you to change from a single to a double in just a few seconds. It also comes with a spacious pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats and the standing fold is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a top-quality suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies like the iCandy Peach are another versatile choice. Their slim frames are perfect for narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They provide a spacious basket and come with all the accessories you could require, including rain covers and liners.

Tandem buggies typically have children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier to push and more stable on uneven surfaces but they can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. They are larger than a single seater and can be too large to fit through doorways.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've examined. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, which means your children can take in the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable foot and leg rests as well as an integrated cup holder for a single parent. Testers are awestruck by the way the seats recline independently by pressing an adjustable lever underneath each seat, and say that the straps are simple to secure and remove with just one hand. It's also a doddle to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as simple as possible, and stores with the backrest upright to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins as well as a toddler and baby or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) This is a great option for families that want the flexibility to grow with their child. Its large shopping basket and soft suspension makes it ideal on roads and in cities too. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for youngsters up to the age of six.
