A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids

A double buggy is a must-have for families with two children. It will enable you to navigate urban roads and off road trails without difficulty while making sure that your children are comfortable and content.

When selecting a double stroller, there are a lot of factors to consider. Firstly, check that it can fit through your doorway and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to bring home a second child, but there are many practical issues to be considered. The addition of another child to the family means reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, investing in a new double buggy.

If you're looking to purchase twins or simply require something smaller there are plenty of great options on the market. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that competitors cost extra for. It can fold up very well to occupy a tiny space in your boot. It rolls smoothly and is a breeze to manoeuvre. It may feel a little long when used in double mode.

Side-byside buggies can be fantastic to keep your kids together but they tend to be wider than a single buggy which can make them difficult to navigate up and double buggy side by side down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and at 63cm, it's the same size as the single pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and public transport. It is compatible with a variety of car seats, and it can grow with your family. You can use it as mono or tandem buggy once your children are old enough to sit together.

The suspension is excellent for rough terrain, and its adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's a great choice for older kids, as the seat is elevated in a stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as light as some other models on this list but it's still a good option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's important to select one that is at ease to push. Look for a handle that's comfortable and well-shaped to fit your height, and a large basket with plenty of compartments and pockets. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds up and put away.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some incredible double buggies on the market that allow you to travel with two children much easier. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both seats/carrycots facing forward or backward, and even a third seat with a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension makes it easy to manoeuvre through the city and over rougher terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that is extremely light and has a small footprint. They can be easily stored with the seats attached. They require more effort to push over kerbs and can be tricky on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode with both car seats and seat however, it can also be used to push a single buggy. Its clever frame expands in width.

If you plan to use public transportation often, think about whether you're going to need a double buggy with large wheels since they tend to be more tolerant of rough or uneven surfaces. Similarly, check how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as how wide it is when folded to see if your boot will be able to accommodate it. If you reside in a small town or village and have narrow pavements, opt for a double to single buggy buggy that has the child is seated behind the other, instead of sitting directly in front of them, since this makes it easier for them to navigate tight spaces.

A lot of storage

A double buggy isn't a necessity for all families however it makes outings more manageable for families with toddlers and newborns. If you're looking for a light model that is easy to steer take a look at the variety of side-by-side double buggies. These offer lots of space underneath in the form of a spacious basket, as well as additional side and rear pockets for everything your baby needs. There are many models that feature adjustable handles to suit parents of different heights and fold neatly into a compact shape ideal for use in tight spaces or to stow away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are good option if you're looking for a stronger model. These are usually twins, and are more difficult to maneuver, but often come with a reclining seat that is great for toddlers and babies. They're a great option for those who love the outdoors and active family members. Some even permit you to transform the buggy into Jogger, which makes them perfect for exercise and running.

A majority of the top double buggies can accommodate various combinations of carrycots, car seats and seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or siblings who are close in age, but it's worth looking over the specifications of any model you're thinking about to ensure it will fit your requirements.

There are two kinds of double buggys that are tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed in front of the next. The main advantage of a twin buggy is that your children can interact instead of having to take turns or argue over who gets the prime spot. Twin buggys can be wider and more difficult to maneuver through doorways and aisles at the grocery store.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly shorter than single buggies, however they are nonetheless longer. They are also less stable and may require dismantling to fit into your car's boot. Reclining the seat independently is nowadays a standard feature on the majority of double buggies, so do make sure that your chosen model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

A good double buggy should offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Look out for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat can do and whether the seats can be independently adjusted so you can adapt to your child's needs as they grow. Also, check the weight limit and whether both have a sun canopy or a hood to protect the seats from rain and wind.

Consider the use of a baby carrier to replace a double stroller double. They are suitable for toddlers who are looking to walk but require an adult ride. they are also ideal for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with the car seat for greater flexibility.

Some parents believe that a side by side double buggy is the most practical option. However there are a few innovative models to choose from, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the tiniest double buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another clever choice that offers more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It's designed as a single pushchair, but you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third) to the frame using adaptors, giving you the option of a variety of seating arrangements. It's smooth to steer and has an excellent suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was to fold. You just pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire thing collapses in half in just a few seconds.

Buying a double buggy is an investment but you'll be able to keep it for a long time and also enjoy an excellent resale price. When comparing prices, keep in mind that it's best to buy a brand-name model as this will allow you to acquire additional accessories and upgrades in the future. For instance, many of our top-rated double buggies come with an easy Changing Bag and Carrier included in the cost. This is an essential item that will save you time and effort when you have to travel with your babies.
