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

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

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a double buggy. Be sure that it will fit into your car boot and your doorway when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is an exciting prospect but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a child to the family means redesigning living spaces, rethinking car seats, and of course, purchasing a new double buggy.

There are many great options to choose from depending on whether you're looking to purchase twins or just want something narrow. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that rival brands cost extra for and is very compact and folds up to occupy a tiny space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is easy to move. However, it can be a bit long when you're using it in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are great for keeping your children in a single place but they are typically bigger than a single buggy, which can make them difficult to navigate through kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width, is the tiniest available on the market. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and on public transport. It is compatible with a variety of car seats, and can grow with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to be seated together.

The suspension is great for rough terrain, and its adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's an excellent choice for older kids, since it comes with a seat that's elevated stadium style to give them a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, however it's still a great choice.

It's important that you choose a double buggy that is comfortable to push. Find a handle with padding and a grip shaped to your height. Also, look for a large basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. When you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds up and stored.

Easy to maneuver

There are some fantastic new double buggies available that allow you to travel with two children much easier. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all terrain double buggy (click the following page)-in-one option that can accommodate twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both carrycots or seats facing forward or backward and even a third one with the 'piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light weight, swivel wheels, and suspension make it easy to move through the city and on rough terrain.

Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a small 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 require some more strength to get over kerbs, and can be trickier on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be utilized in tandem mode with both car seats and seat and can be used to push a single buggy. Its clever frame expands widthways.

If you are planning to use public transportation frequently, you may want to consider a double buggy that has large wheels. They are more designed for rough or uneven surfaces. Also, consider how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width when folded to see whether your vehicle is able to accommodate it. If you reside in an area with narrow streets, choose a tandem double stroller where the child is seated behind their companion, rather than behind them. This makes it easier to maneuver around tight spaces.

A lot of storage

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they can make life easier for families with infants and toddlers. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies if you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. They offer plenty of space underneath in the form of a spacious basket, as well as additional rear and side pockets for everything your baby needs. Many models have adjustable handles that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of different heights. They can also fold into a compact double buggy size, making them ideal for use in small areas or in the boot.

All-terrain double infant stroller strollers are a great option if you're looking for a stronger model. These tend to be twin and are more difficult to manoeuvre, but they'll often come with a reclined seat for infants and older children, and are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some even allow you to transform the buggy into running jogger, making them ideal for running and exercising.

Many of the top double buggies are able to accommodate a wide range of of seats, carrycots, and car seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or siblings that are close in age, but it's worth checking the specs of any model you're considering to ensure that it will fit your requirements.

There are two kinds of double buggys: tandem and twin buggy from birth. In tandem the seats are placed in front of the next. A twin 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 may be difficult to navigate through the supermarket's doorways and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be a little shorter than single models, but are nonetheless longer. They're also less stable when going up kerbs and might require dismantling in order to fit into the car boot. The majority of double buggies come with an recline for the seat independently and recline, which is now a standard feature. Make sure your chosen 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 both parents and children are the most comfortable. Check the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline each seat can achieve. Also, verify if the seats can be adjusted independently so that you can adapt to your child's needs. Make sure you know the weight limit and if they both have a hood or sun canopy that protects from wind and rain.

If you're looking for a flexible 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're also great for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat for even greater flexibility.

Some parents feel that a side by side double buggy is the most convenient option. However there are a few innovative models available, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the lightest double buggy side by side available 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 an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame using adaptors, which gives you a wide range of seating arrangements. It's smooth to steer, is extremely stable and Lab experts loved the ease of fold. You just pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the whole thing collapses in half in a matter of minutes.

Double buggys are a good investment that will last for years. They also have a good resale price. When making comparisons it is important to keep in mind that buying a brand name model can allow you to acquire additional accessories and upgrades later. Some of our best-rated double buggies come with a useful changing Bag & Carrier in the price. This is an essential accessory that will save you time, hassle and money when you travel with your child.
