What's The Current Job Market For Double Travel Buggy Professionals?

What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A side-by-side double pushchair with an incredibly compact footprint (for narrow entrances and on public transport). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors) to make the frame more sturdy for children weighing up to 50lbs.

A budget-friendly, basic double that has rear and front suspension to take care of uneven surfaces, a huge storage basket, and a cushioned handlebar for parents with different heights.

Size

double buggy converts to single pushchairs are generally larger than single ones, particularly when they are side-byside buggies, such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width enables them to accommodate heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows with swivel lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles and a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain but can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.

In terms of cost these kinds of lightweight buggies, which are side-by-side, are surprisingly affordable.

Weight

The heavier the double buggy the more easy it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the lightest of our lab tests, is an excellent choice if weight is an issue. It still has many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and a peekaboo window, a quick-release folding system that can be stowed flat in seconds, four-wheel suspension for rough terrain, and a swivel wheel on the front, which allows you to maneuver tight shops and supermarket aisles. It's priced at just over $1000 It's also a great value twin stroller with car seats. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double seat stroller buggy that is well-designed will provide a great deal of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal for navigating tight spaces, while side-byside models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide selection of seating options that allow you to modify the seat as your children grow, and some even offer the option of adding a ride-on or car seat.

The Joie Evalite duo is a perfect illustration. It can be used to support two seats or a car-seat. The adaptors let you convert a single seat to a double pram pushchair seat in a matter of seconds. It has a large pop-out canopy sunshade with UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and a the window that peeks out from both seats. A standing fold is simple to do and quick.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow aisles and doors, and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or a big kid thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). They offer a generous basket, and come with all the accessories you could need, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies typically have your children seated together, which can make them easier to push and more sturdy on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single-seater and may be too long to fit through doorways.

Comfort

One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested, this buggy features elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so that your children can are able to enjoy the view. It comes with large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out; a padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as a single-parent cup holder. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever under each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. The handle is simple to twist, making it simple to fold. It also stores with the backrest up to make it easy to access.

This is a great option for families that want to develop with their children. It comes in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or three kids if you add the 'PiggyBack board'. Its spacious shopping basket and soft suspension make it suitable on kerbs and in the city too. It's also a great value. BabyGearLab recommends this for youngsters up to the age of six.
