The Three Greatest Moments In Double Buggy History

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 without difficulty while keeping your children comfortable and content.

When selecting a double pushchair from birth stroller, there are numerous things to consider. First, ensure that it can pass through your doorway and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is an exciting prospect but there are plenty of practical considerations. The addition of a child to the family can mean changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about car seats, and of course, buying the latest double buggy with carrycot buggy.

If you're looking for twins or just require something smaller, there are lots of great options that are available. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that competitors charge extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up little space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to maneuver. However, it may be a bit long when you're in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are ideal for keeping children together but they are slightly larger than the single stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market though and, at just 63cm wide it's the same width as the single to double buggy pushchair. It is easy to get through doors and onto public transportation. It's compatible with a variety 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 be seated side-by-side.

The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the height-adjustable handle makes steering easy. It's a great option for older kids, as it has a seat elevated stadium style to give them a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight than other models, but it's still a great choice.

You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's crucial to choose a model that feels at ease to push. Look for a handle with a padded grip that is made to fit your height. Also, consider a big basket with many pockets and compartments. When you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds up and put away.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some amazing new double buggies that make traveling with two children much more convenient. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both carrycots or seats facing forward or backward and even a third seat using a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension makes it easy to maneuver through town and on rough terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that's incredibly lightweight and has a tiny footprint. They can be easily put away with the seats attached. However, they need some more strength to get over kerbs, and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its clever frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height adjustable handle which makes it simple to steer with just one hand.

If you intend to use public transport frequently, you may want to consider a double buggy that has big wheels. These are better suited to rough or uneven surfaces. Find out how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the size of the buggy when folded, to determine if it can fit into your boot. If you reside in a tiny village or town with narrow pavements, opt for a double buggy that has the child sits behind the other, instead of sitting directly in front of them, since this makes it easier to navigate narrow spaces.

A lot of storage

Double buggies aren't required for every family, but they do help with outings for families with infants and toddlers. If you're looking for 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 underneath as well as side and rear pockets to keep all your baby's essentials. A lot of models come with handles that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of different heights. They also fold neatly to a compact form which makes them perfect to use in tight spaces or in the boot.

All-terrain double strollers are a good option if you're seeking a more durable model. They're typically twins, and are more difficult to maneuver, however they usually come with a reclined seat that is perfect for toddlers and infants. They're a great option for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Certain models can be converted into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercise.

A lot of the top double buggies will be 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 who are similar in age, however, it's important to check the specifications of any model you're considering to make sure it's a good fit for your needs.

There are two primary kinds of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem where one seat is placed in front of the other. The main advantage of twin buggy is that your children will be able to interact without having to take turns or fight over who gets the best spot. However, twin pushchair from birth buggys tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through the supermarket's doorways and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be a bit shorter however, they're still longer than single models. They are also less stable and may require dismantling in order to fit into your car's boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a common feature on the majority of double buggies, so do ensure that the model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

A quality double buggy will give both parents and children plenty of comfort. Look out for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat is able to do and whether the seats can be independently adjusted so you can adapt them as your children grow. Check 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 you should consider a baby carriage. They can be used for toddlers who want to walk but need a ride on board and they're also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be paired with a car seat for even more flexibility.

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

The Wave tandem double stroller buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another good option. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's designed as an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third) to the frame with adaptors, which gives you the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was to fold. You just pull up on the two straps (one under each seat) and you can fold the whole thing in just a few seconds.

Buying a double buggy is a big investment, but you'll be able to use it for years and also have an acceptable resale value. When comparing prices, keep in mind that it is best to purchase an item from a reputable brand, as it will allow you to get additional accessories and upgrades in the future. For example, some of our top-rated double buggies come with an easy Changing Bag and Carrier included in the price.
