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

A double buggy will be a necessity for families with more than one child. It will enable you to navigate urban roads and off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your kids safe and happy.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a double buggy. First, make sure it will fit through your door and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is a thrilling prospect, but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a new child to the family requires changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about vehicle seats and purchasing the double buggy.

Whether you're shopping for twins or need something a little more compact twin stroller there are plenty of excellent options that are available. Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that rival brands charge extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up a small amount of space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is a breeze to maneuver. It may feel a little long when in double mode.

Side-byside buggies can be fantastic for keeping your children together but they tend to be larger than a single buggy which can make them difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market and, at just 63cm wide it's the same size as a single pushchair. It is easy to maneuver through doors and into public transportation. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will adapt to your growing family It can also be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are ready to be seated side-by-side.

The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height handle makes steering simple. It's a great option for older kids, as it has a seat elevated in a stadium style, giving them an even better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's still a great option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's essential to select a model that feels at ease to push. Find a handle that's padded and well-shaped to suit your height, as well as a large basket with lots of compartments and pockets. It's also worth looking into how easy it is to fold and store your buggy when you're not using it.

Easy to maneuver

There are some amazing Double Buggy travel system buggies on the market that make traveling with two kids much simpler. The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose model that can accommodate twins or one baby and a toddler with both car seats facing forward or backwards. It can also accommodate a third kid using piggyback' boards (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension makes it easy to maneuver around town and over rougher terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that is extremely lightweight twin buggy and has a tiny footprint. They can be easily put away with the seats attached. However, they do require some more strength to get over kerbs, and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode with both carrycots and seats, but it can also be used to push a single buggy. Its innovative frame expands in width.

If you're planning to use public transport 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. Consider the ease to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width of the buggy once folded to see if it will fit in your boot. If you reside in an area that has narrow streets, you should consider a tandem double stroller where the child sits behind their companion, instead of sitting in front of them. This will make it easier to maneuver around tight spaces.

Lots of storage

A double buggy isn't a necessity for every family but it can make outings more manageable for families with toddlers and newborns. Look into the side-byside buggies if you're looking for an easy-to-steer, lightweight model. They provide plenty of space under in the form of a spacious basket, as well as additional rear and side pockets to store everything your baby needs. Many models have adjustable handles that can be adjusted to suit parents of different heights. They fold up neatly into a compact double stroller size which makes them perfect to use in tight spaces or in the boot.

All-terrain double strollers are a great option if you're looking for a more robust model. These tend to be twin and are more difficult to maneuver but they're often equipped with a reclined seat for newborns and older babies and are a good choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Some models can be transformed into joggers, which makes them ideal for running or exercise.

Many of the best double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, seats and car seats. They are an excellent choice for families with twins or siblings with similar ages. However, it's important to check the specifications of any model that you're interested in.

There are two kinds of double buggys: tandem and twin. In tandem the seat is placed behind the other. A twin buggy has the primary advantage that children can play together, rather than fighting over who should sit in the front. Twin buggys are often wider and make it more difficult to maneuver through doorways and aisles at the grocery store.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly shorter, but they're still longer than single models. They are also less stable and may require dismantling to fit in your car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a common feature on most double buggies, so ensure that the model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

A well-designed double buggy with car seat buggy should offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Make sure you check the padding of the straps and the amount of recline each seat can attain. Also, check if the seats can be adjusted independently to allow you to adapt them to your child's growth. Be sure to check the weight limits and if they come with a sun canopy or a hood to shield the seats from rain and wind.

Consider a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They can be used for toddlers who would like to walk but need an adult ride. they're also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can also be used in conjunction with a car seat for children to give you more flexibility.

Many parents find a side-by-side double buggy to be the most convenient to navigate, but there are some unique models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone, which is extremely slim and is the thinnest double buggy with a side-by-side layout available (it's the same width as a single stroller).

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's initially an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame with adaptors, giving you a wide range of seating options. It's smooth to steer, is extremely stable and Lab experts really liked the ease with which it is to fold. You just pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the entire thing collapses in half in just a few seconds.

Double buggys are a good investment that will last for years. They also have a good resale cost. When comparing prices, remember that it's best to purchase an established brand as this will help you to secure additional accessories and upgrades in the future. For instance, many of our top-rated double buggies come with a handy changing Bag and Carrier included in the cost. This is an essential item that will help you save time and hassle on the day you need to travel with your children.
