Buying a Twin Buggy

Comfort

You can get seats with adjustable Calf rests that make your baby comfortable, as well as an extendable sun canopy and a large storage basket. Many manufacturers provide extras such as cup holders or rain covers to ensure you have everything you need when you go on family trips.

Another thing to consider is the width of your buggy. Although there are a few smaller twin models that can be used in doors that are standard however, you'll need to measure and verify with the manufacturer before purchasing. Keep in mind that the twins you have are of different in age and have different needs, you'll need to adjust the seating arrangement frequently.

Safety

The most reliable twin buggies have suspensions that can withstand grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some models come with two front wheels to provide extra stability on bumpy roads or in rough terrain. Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy in the event you pull off the handlebar, so you can stop it before it flies away. Make sure you know the weight limit for the double buggy if you want to take your kids for a walk or run. Also, you should test the seat recline to ensure that your children are comfortable during long runs or walks.

There are many kinds of twin buggies available such as tandem, side-byside, and one-seat. Side-by-side models are perfect for siblings who are close in age, as they provide space for both to sit together so they can interact and talk during strolls. This kind of twin buggy can be smaller than other models, which makes them easier to manoeuvre and fit through doors. They could be heavier, have a bigger footprint and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double-travel systems, and offer the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be expanded to hold two infants in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower than twin buggies with side-by-side seating, but can still be larger than single buggy models and may not always be able to pass through doors if manufacturers' 'standard' doors aren't wide enough.

The one-seat models are generally shorter and occupy less space on the road than other double buggy types. This makes them an excellent choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, who like to sit next to each other and not wake one another awake by pulling their hair or fighting. Certain models come with independent recline positions, meaning that your children can sleep peacefully without kicking one another.

Convenience

If your kids are looking to take their favorite dolls or teddies out on an adventure with them, they can do it easily by using a twin buggy. A lot of models have seats that let two kids sit together and be able to interact. Some models even come with a foldable basket for storing everything.

The design is extremely user-friendly with a simple one-handed fold. It is easy to roll, and suspension makes it easy to maneuver the kerbs.

Design

If you're looking for twins or siblings close in age, there's a range of designs to pick from. Some single and double stroller prams are able to transform into a twin buggy with a simple conversion, others are built as twin buggies from the ground up. Whatever model you pick it's essential to find the one that best suits your family's lifestyle and needs.

Most twin buggies are side-by-side or tandem, allowing children to sit next to one another or behind. Side-by-side models are generally more compact and easy to maneuver and can be suitable for babies or kids of varying ages. Tandems might not be able to fit in smaller car boot spaces, but they do allow children to interact.

Many brands of twin buggies have a wide variety of features that parents will appreciate. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, multiple recline options for seats and a huge front canopy which can be enlarged by a peek-a-boo hood. Some models come with a parent tray, removable changing mats and under-seat storage baskets.

Selecting the right type of wheel and size is an additional important factor to consider when buying a twin buggy. Find a double-buggy with all-terrain wheels that can easily navigate mud, gravel and uneven surfaces. Choose a buggy that has suspension to give you more control.

If you're planning on using your twin buggy for long walks, consider an option with a large cargo bag. This will let you carry more than your two kids, and will make it easier to keep the track of their belongings. Consider adding sun visors, rain cover and shopping tray to your bag.
