What to Look For in a double buggy side by side Travel Buggy

A compact side-by-side with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children weighing up to 50lbs.

Size

In general, double pushchairs are wider than single models, especially when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their 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 help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels are not built for rough terrain, but they are able to handle city streets and theme park rides well.

These buggies that are lightweight are surprisingly affordable.

The lighter the double buggy, the easier it is to lift and maneuver. The Joie Evalite Duo, which is the most lightweight of our Lab tests, is a great option if weight is an issue. It's got many features, including the large pop-out canopy, SPF50 and peekaboo window and double Seat Stroller a quick-release folding system that can be folded flat in just a few seconds and a four-wheel suspension for rough terrain and a swivel wheel at the front that allows you to maneuver narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops.

The narrow tandem buggies can be used to squeeze into small spaces. Side-by-side models let you to keep the eye on your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. Many also have a wide variety of seat configurations, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow. Some come with the option of adding an extra ride-on board or car seat.

Tandem buggies are usually designed with your children sitting together. This makes them more stable and easier to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver around and over kerbs. They typically have a larger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and may be a bit too long to get through doorways.
