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

A double buggy is an essential item for families with two children. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails with ease while keeping your children safe and happy.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a double buggy. Check that it can fit into your car boot and doorway when folded.

Lightweight

The prospect of bringing a second child home is a thrilling prospect, but there are a lot of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a child to the family means reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, purchasing the latest double buggy.

There are many great options available regardless of whether you're looking for twins or need something a bit smaller. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that rival brands will cost additional fees for. It also folds up in a neat way to make it easier to store in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to move. However, it could feel a little long when you're in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies work well for keeping kids together but they are somewhat larger than a single double stroller stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm wide, is the tiniest available available. This makes it easy to fit through doors and public transport. It's compatible with a range of car seats and can expand with your family - it can be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are ready to be seated side-by-side.

The suspension is great for rough terrain, and its height-adjustable handle makes steering easy. It's great for older children since the seat is elevated stadium style. This provides them with a better view of the action. It's not as light as some other models on this list, but it's a great choice.

It is essential to choose the right double buggy that is comfortable to push. Find a handle that's padded and well-shaped to suit your height, and an ample basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. It's also worth checking how easy it is to fold and store your buggy when you're not using it.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some incredible double buggies on the market that allow you to travel with two kids much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can be used to accommodate twins or one baby and a toddler with both car seats facing in the direction of forward or reverse. It can also accommodate a third child using piggyback's board (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame, swivel front wheels and suspension make it easy to manoeuvre through town and on rougher terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that is extremely lightweight and has a tiny footprint. They can be easily stored with the seats attached. They do require more effort to push them over kerbs, and they aren't ideal for uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode using both seats/carrycots and can be used to push a single buggy. The clever frame can be expanded width-wise.

If you intend to use public transport frequently, you may want to think about a double buggy with large wheels. They are more for rough or uneven surfaces. Additionally, take note of the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy, as well as how wide it is when folded to determine if your boot will be able to accommodate it. If you reside in an area that has narrow streets, you should consider a double stroller that has the child is placed behind their partner, rather than beside them. This makes it easier to maneuver through narrow spaces.

Storage is available in abundance

A double buggy isn't necessary for every family, but it makes outings more manageable for those with toddlers or newborns. If you're looking to purchase a light model that's easy to steer take a look at the variety of side-by-side double buggies. They come with a large basket beneath and a rear and side pockets to store all the essentials for your baby. You'll also find many models with adjustable handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights. They also fold up easily into a compact size ideal for small spaces or for tucking away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are a excellent option for those looking for a stronger model. They are usually twins and are more difficult to maneuver, but they'll often come with a reclining seat for newborns and older babies and are a good option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some even allow you to convert the buggy into a Jogger, which makes them perfect for running and exercise.

Many of the top double buggies are designed to accommodate a wide range of combinations of carrycots, seats and car seats. They are an excellent choice for families with twins, or siblings with similar age. However, it's crucial to look up the specifications of any model that you're considering.

There are two kinds of double buggy that are tandem and twin. In tandem the seat is placed behind the other. A twin umbrella stroller buggy has the primary benefit that your children are able to be together instead of fighting over who gets to sit in the front. However, twin buggys are usually wider and can be tricky to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller, but they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs and might require dismantling in order to fit into the car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a common feature on most double buggies. So, make sure that your chosen model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A quality best double stroller buggy will give both parents and children plenty of comfort. Check for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat is able to do and whether the seats are adjustable independently so you can adapt them as your children develop. Be sure to check the weight limit, and if each has a hood, or sun canopy to protect from wind and rain.

If you're looking for a flexible alternative to a double pushchair, you should consider a baby carriage. They're great for toddlers who want to walk, but still need a ride. They're also perfect for infants and newborns. Some carriers can also be used in conjunction with a car seat for children to give you more flexibility.

Some parents believe that a side by side double buggy is the most practical option. However there are some new 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 option that provides more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It's initially a mono pushchair and then you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third one) to the frame using adaptors, which gives you the option of a variety 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 the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire unit folds in a matter of minutes.

Double buggys are a good investment that will last for years. They also come with a decent resale cost. When making comparisons it is important to keep in mind that buying a name brand model will allow you to get extra accessories and upgrades later on. Our top-rated double buggies come with a convenient changing Bag & Carrier in the price. This is a must-have accessory that will help you save time, hassle and money when traveling with your child.
