Meet The Steve Jobs Of The Double Buggy Industry

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

A double to single buggy buggy is essential for families with more than one child. It can help you navigate urban roads and off-road trails without difficulty while keeping the kids comfortable and happy.

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a double buggy. Make sure it fits through your car boot and doorway when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is an exciting prospect but there are plenty of practical considerations. Adding another child to the family means reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats, and of course, purchasing a brand new double buggy.

Whether you're shopping for twins or simply require something smaller, there are lots 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 and can fold up very well to occupy a tiny space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is a breeze to manoeuvre. However, it may be a bit long when you're in double stroller sale mode.

Side-by-side buggies are ideal for keeping kids together, but they can be somewhat larger than a single stroller. This makes it difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width, is the slimmest on the market. It is easy to pass through doors and onto public transportation. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will grow with your family and can be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are ready to sit n stand double stroller side-by-side.

The adjustable height handle is ideal for steering and the suspension can take care of rough surfaces. It's great for older children since the seat is elevated stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models in this list but it's a great option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's important to choose a model that feels at ease to push. Look for a handle with a cushioned grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket with lots of compartments and pockets. When you're not using your buggy, it's worth taking a look at how it can be folded and put away.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some amazing new double buggies out there that allow you to travel with two kids much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose model that can accommodate twins or one toddler and one baby with both seats/carrycots facing either forward or backwards. It can also accommodate a third child with piggyback's board (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension makes it easy to manoeuvre around town and over rough terrain.

Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a compact footprint, which makes them easy to fit through doors and on public transport, and you can often put them away with the seats still attached. However, they do require some muscle to push them over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be utilized in tandem mode with both car seats and seat, but it can also be used to push a single buggy. Its innovative frame expands in width.

If you are planning to use public transport frequently you might want to think about a double buggy with large wheels. They are more suited to rough or uneven surfaces. Also, consider the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width when folded to determine whether your car is able to accommodate it. If you reside in an area with narrow streets, choose a tandem double stroller in which the child is seated behind their companion, rather than in front of them. This makes it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces.

Plenty of storage

Double buggies don't have to be a necessity for every family, but they do help with outings for families with infants and toddlers. Look into the side-byside buggies if you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. These offer lots of space underneath in the form of a deep basket as well as rear and side pockets for all your baby essentials. There are many models with adjustable handles that are suited to parents of different heights. They fold up neatly into a compact twin stroller shape suitable for tight spaces or to stow away in the boot.

If you're looking for a more robust double buggy, try one of the all-terrain models. They are typically twins, and are more difficult to maneuver, but often come with a reclining seat that is great for babies and toddlers. They are a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Some models can be transformed into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercising.

A lot of the top double buggies can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats. They are a great choice for families with twins or siblings of similar age. But, it's important to check the specifications of the model you're considering.

There are two primary types of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem, where one seat is in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main benefit that your children are able to interact instead of fighting over who gets to sit in the front. Twin buggys can be wider and more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways at the supermarket.

Tandem buggies are usually a bit shorter, but they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs, and may require dismantling to fit in your car's boot. Most double buggies have recline that is independent and recline, which is nowadays an option that is standard. Make sure that the model has the ability to adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for parents and children are the most comfortable. Look out for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat is able to do and whether the seats are adjustable independently so that you can adjust to your child's needs as they develop. Check the weight limit, and if both have a hood or sun canopy that protects from wind and rain.

Consider the use of a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are great for toddlers who wish to walk but require a ride. They're also perfect for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be paired with the car seat for more flexibility.

Some parents feel that a side by side double buggy is the most convenient option. However, there are some innovative models to choose from, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxurious in herringbone. It is the lightest double buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another good option. They offer more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's a single-pushchair and then you can add a carrycot to the frame by using adaptors. This offers an array of seating options. It's easy to steer, has a great suspension, and Lab experts really liked the ease with which it is to fold: You simply pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the entire thing folds down in a matter of seconds.
