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. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails easily while keeping your children safe and happy.

When you are choosing a double stroller, there are many factors to consider. First, make sure it will fit through your door and into the car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is an exciting possibility, but there are also lots of practical considerations. The addition of a child to the family can mean redesigning living spaces, rethinking car seats, and of course, purchasing the latest double buggy.

If you’re looking to purchase twins or just want something narrow, there are lots of options available out there. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that other brands will charge additional fees for. It also folds up extremely neatly to make it easier to store in your boot. It is easy to move and it rolls well, as per users. It can feel a bit long when it is in double mode.

The side-by-side buggies are great for keeping kids together but they are slightly larger than a single and double stroller stroller. This makes it difficult to move up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market, and at 63cm, it’s the same size as the single pushchair. It’s easy to maneuver through doors and into public transport. It’s compatible with all kinds of car seats and will expand with your family – it can be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are ready to sit side by side.

The suspension is great for rough terrain, and its adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It’s a great choice for older kids since the seat is elevated in a stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It’s not as lightweight than other models, but it’s still a great choice.

It’s important that you choose a double buggy that’s comfortable to push. Choose a handle that has padding and a grip shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket that has plenty of pockets and compartments. When you’re not using your buggy, you should consider taking a look at how it folds up and stored.

Easy to maneuver

There are some fantastic double buggies on the market that allow you to travel with two kids much easier. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both seats/carrycots facing forward or backward, and even a third seat using piggyback boards (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame, swivel front wheels and suspension ensure it’s easy to manoeuvre around town and over rougher terrain.

Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a small footprint, which makes them easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with the seats still attached. However, they do require a bit more muscle to push them over kerbs and can be trickier on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode using both seats/carrycots however, it can also be used to push one buggy. The clever frame can be expanded width-wise.

If you intend to use public transport frequently you might want to consider a double-buggy that has large wheels. They are more for rough or uneven surfaces. Check the ease to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width of the buggy folded to see if it will fit in your car. If you live in a small village or town with narrow roads, you should consider a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other, rather than in front of them, as this makes it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Lots of storage

A double buggy isn’t essential for every family, but it makes outings more manageable for families with toddlers and newborns. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies if you’re looking for a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. They come with a large basket under and side and rear pockets to store all the essentials for your baby. Some models have handles that are adjustable that can be adjusted to suit parents of different heights. They also fold neatly to a compact double buggy form making them ideal to use in tight areas or in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are excellent option for those looking for a stronger model. These tend to be twin and are more difficult to maneuver, but they’ll often come with a reclining seat for newborns and older infants and are a good option for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Certain models can be converted into Joggers, making them ideal for running or exercise.

A majority of the top double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, car seats and seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or siblings who are close in age, however, it’s important to check the specs of any model you’re considering to ensure that it’s a good fit for your needs.

There are two kinds of double buggy that are tandem and twin. In tandem the seats are placed in front of the next. The main advantage of a <a href="http://200.111.45.106/?a%5B%5D=twin buggy is that your children will be able to interact without having to take turns or argue over who has the top spot. Twin buggys are often wider and can be more difficult to maneuver through doorways and aisles at the supermarket.

Tandem buggies are generally a bit shorter however they’re still more than single models. They’re also less stable when going up kerbs and might require dismantling in order to fit into the car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a fairly standard feature on a lot of double buggies. So, ensure that your model allows you 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 best lightweight double stroller. Look out for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can achieve and if the seats can be independently adjusted so that you can adjust them as your children develop. Check the weight limits too and whether both have a sun canopy or a hood to shield your children from rain and wind.

If you’re looking for an adaptable alternative to a double pushchair then consider a baby carrier. They can be used by toddlers who are looking to walk but require a ride on board and they are also ideal for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used with a car seat for children, giving you more flexibility.

Many parents find a side-by-side double buggy the most comfortable to use, but there are also some innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone, which is extremely slim and is the tiniest double buggy that is side-by-side on the market (it’s the same width as a single stroller).

The Wave tandem buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another smart choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It starts out as a single pushchair, but you can add a second seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third) to the frame with adaptors, giving you an array of seating arrangements. It’s smooth to steer, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were impressed by the ease of fold: You simply pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire unit folds in a matter of seconds.

Double buggys are a good investment that will last for many years. They also have a good resale cost. When making comparisons, it’s important to remember that purchasing a reputable model will let you purchase additional accessories and upgrades later. For instance, a few of our top-rated double buggies come with an easy changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is a must-have accessory that’ll save you time and hassle on the day you need to travel with your babies.
