Lightweight
It's thrilling to welcome another child into the family however, there are a lot of practical issues to be considered. Adding another child to the family can mean changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about car seats, and of course, investing in the latest double buggy.

Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that other brands cost extra for. It folds very neatly into place to take up a small amount of space in your boot. It rolls smoothly and is easy to move. However, it may be a bit long when you're using it in double Stroller for twins mode.
The side-by-side buggies are great to keep children in a single space however they can be a bit wider than one stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same width as a single pushchair. It is easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transport. It's compatible with a range of car seats and will adapt to your growing family It can also be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are old enough to sit side by side.
The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's a great option for older kids, as it has a seat elevated in a stadium style, giving them a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models on this list, but it's still a good option.
You'll be pushing your double buggy with carrycot buggy often so it's crucial to look for one that is easy to push. Look for a handle with a cushioned grip that is made to fit your height.

Easy to manoeuvre
There are some incredible new double buggies out there that make getting out and about with two children much easier. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both seats/carrycots facing forward or backward, and even a third one with a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame, swivel front wheels and suspension makes it easy to manoeuvre around town and over rougher terrain.
Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a compact footprint, which makes them easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport, and you can often put them away with the seats still in place. However, they do require a bit more muscle to get over kerbs, and can be trickier on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single buggy due to its unique frame that expands widthways. It also has a height adjustable handle which makes it simple to steer with just one hand.
If you intend to use public transport often, think about whether you'll need a double Stroller with infant car Seat buggy with large wheels since they tend to perform better on uneven or rough surfaces. Consider how easy it will be to fold and unfold, as well as the size of the buggy when folded, to determine if it can fit in your car. If you live in an area with narrow streets, choose a double stroller that has the child is seated behind their partner, instead of sitting behind them. This makes it easier to maneuver around tight spaces.

They're a great option for those who love the outdoors and active family members. Some permit you to transform the buggy into Jogger, which makes them perfect for running and exercising.
Many of the best double buggies are able to accommodate a wide range of of carrycots, seats and car seats. They are a great choice for families with twins or siblings of similar age. However, it is essential to verify the specifications of any model that you are interested in.
There are two primary types of double buggy: twin which is where your children are side-by-side, and tandem, where one seat is placed in front of the other. The main advantage of a twin buggy is that your children can interact instead of having to switch places or argue over who gets the best place. Twin buggys are often wider and more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways at the supermarket.
Tandem buggies are generally slightly shorter however they're still more than single models. They are also less stable and could require dismantling in order to fit into your car's boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a fairly standard feature on a lot of double buggies. So, ensure that the model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.
Comfort
Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the best. Check for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat is able to do and whether the seats are independently adjustable so you can adapt to your child's needs as they develop. Be sure to check the weight limit and if both have a hood or sun canopy to protect from rain and wind.
Consider using a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They are suitable for toddlers who want to walk but need to ride in a car, and they're also great for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used with a car seat to give greater flexibility.
Many parents find a side-byside double travel buggy buggy to be the most convenient to navigate, but there are some truly innovative models out there like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone which is extremely thin and is the lightest double buggy that is side-by-side available (it's the same width as a single stroller).
The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's initially a single pushchair, but you can add a second hand double buggy seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third one) to the frame with adaptors, which gives you a wide range of seating options. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic 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 collapse the entire thing in a matter of seconds.
Double buggys are a good investment that will last for years. They also have a good resale cost. When looking at prices it's important to consider that buying a name brand model will let you get extra accessories and upgrades later on. The top-rated double buggies come with a useful changing Bag and Carrier at a reasonable price. This is a must-have item that will help you save time, hassle and money when traveling with your child.
