What to Look For in a double buggy converts to single Travel Buggy

A compact double buggy side-by-side with tiny footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or a carrycot (with adaptors) to increase the size of the frame to accommodate children up to 50lbs per seat.

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

Size

In general Double Buggy That Converts To Single pushchairs are generally wider than single models - particularly when they're side by side buggies, like the Kolcraft Geo 3 and UPPAbaby Vista 2. This extra width allows them to carry heavier children without straining their chassis. They also have other key features that make them stand out, including large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles cup holders for one parent and an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed with one hand; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't designed for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks quite well.

These lightweight side-by-side buggies have surprisingly low price tags.

Weight

The lighter a double stroller-buggy is, the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice if you have to be aware of weight, since it's the lightest in our Lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including nice-sized pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can cope with rough terrain; and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight shops and supermarket aisles simple. It's also extremely affordable at over a thousand dollars. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A double buggy is a fantastic option for parents with twins or even a baby and toddler. Narrow tandem buggies are great for fitting through tight spaces, while side-by-side models ensure that your children are properly cared for and help you to keep an eye on them while you travel around the supermarket or park. They also come with a wide variety of seat configurations, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow, and some even come with the option of adding a 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 for car seats let you change from a single seat to a double buggy with carrycot in just a few seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows in both seats as well as an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform with just one hand; and a high-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. Their slim frames are perfect to navigate narrow doors and aisles, and they can comfortably accommodate twins, a baby or an adult due to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you buy separately). The basket is spacious and comes with all the extras, such as liners and raincovers.

Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting close to each other. This can make them more stable and easy to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be a challenge to maneuver up and over kerbs. They have a bigger footprint than a single seater and can be too big to fit through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested. It has a stadium-style seat on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a windows that peek out, a padded toddler seat with an additional RumbleSeat that comes with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests as well as cups holder for one parent. Testers love how the seats recline individually by squeezing the levers under each seat, and say that the straps are simple to unfasten and fasten using just one hand. It's also easy to fold, thanks to a twist mechanism on the handle, making 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) it's a great choice for families who are looking to expand with their child. Its spacious shopping basket as well as soft suspension make it suitable on kerbs and in the city too. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children ages 0-6. of six.
