10 Quick Tips About Double Buggy

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

A double buggy will be an essential item for families with more than one child. It is possible to navigate urban roads or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your kids comfortable and content.

When selecting a double stroller, there are many aspects to take into consideration. First, make sure it can fit through your door and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to welcome another child into the family but there are a number of practical considerations. Adding another child to the family can mean reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats, and of course, investing in a brand new double buggy.

If you're looking to purchase twins or need something a little more compact there are plenty of options available on the market. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that competitors cost extra for. It is very compact and folds up to occupy a tiny space in your boot. It rolls smoothly and is a breeze to move. It may feel a little long when in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies work well for keeping kids together but they are somewhat larger than one stroller. This can make it difficult to navigate between kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market though and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same width as a single pushchair. It's easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transportation. It's compatible with many car seats, and can expand with your family. It can be used as a tandem or mono buggy when your children are old enough to sit together.

The height-adjustable handle is great for steering and the suspension makes light work of slick surfaces. It's a great option for older kids, as it has a seat that's elevated stadium style to give them an improved view of the action. It's not as light as other models, but it's still an excellent choice.

You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's crucial to look for one that is easy to push. Look for a handle with a padded grip that is made to fit your height. Also, consider a big basket with lots of pockets and compartments. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds and can be put away.

Easy to maneuver

There are some amazing double buggies on the market that allow two children to travel much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can accommodate twins or one toddler and a baby with both carrycots/seats facing forwards or backwards. It can also accommodate a third child with piggyback' boards (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel wheels and suspension make it easy to maneuver in the city and over rougher terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-byside model that's extremely lightweight and has a tiny footprint. They can be easily stored with the seats attached. However, they need some more strength to push them over kerbs and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great choice as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its unique frame that expands widthways. It also has a height-adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you're planning to use public transportation a lot, consider whether you'll require a double buggy with large wheels since they tend to cope better with rough or uneven surfaces. Find out the ease to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the size of the buggy once folded to see if it will fit in your car. If you reside in a small village or town with narrow pavements, opt for a tandem double buggy where the child is seated behind the other, instead of sitting in front of them, as this will make it easier to navigate tight spaces.

A lot of storage

Double buggies aren't required for every family, but they can help with outings for families with toddlers and infants. If you're looking for a lightweight model that's easy to steer, check out the range of side-by-side double buggies. They come with a large basket under and a rear and side pockets to store all the necessities for your baby. Many models have adjustable handles that can be adjusted to suit parents of different heights. They can also fold to a compact form, making them ideal for small areas or in the boot.

All-terrain cheap double pushchair buggys are a excellent option for those looking for a stronger model. They are usually twins and can be more difficult to maneuver but they're often equipped with a reclining seat for infants and older children and are a good option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some allow you to transform the buggy into a Jogger, which makes them perfect for exercise and running.

A lot of the top double buggies are able to accommodate a wide range of combinations of seats, carrycots, and car seats. They are a great choice for families with twins, or siblings with similar ages. However, it's essential to verify the specifications of the model you're considering.

There are two primary kinds of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem with one seat in front of the other. The primary benefit of twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate instead of having to rotate or argue over who has the top place. However, twin buggys tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be slightly shorter than single buggies, but are still longer. They are also less stable and might require dismantling to fit into your car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a fairly standard feature on the majority of double buggies, so do make sure that your chosen model allows you 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 best. Check the padding of the straps and the amount of recline each seat can achieve. Also, make sure that the seats can be adjusted independently to allow you to adjust to your child's needs. Make sure you know the weight limit and whether they 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're great for toddlers who want to walk but need the comfort of a ride. They're also ideal for babies and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat to give more flexibility.

Many parents consider a side-by-side double buggy the most compact double stroller comfortable to navigate, but there are some unique models available, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone which is amazingly thin and is the lightest side-by-side double buggy on the market (it's the same size as a single stroller).

The Wave tandem buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It starts out as a mono pushchair and then you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third one) to the frame by using adaptors, allowing you to have a wide range of seating arrangements. It's smooth to steer and has a great suspension, and Lab experts were impressed by the ease with which it is to fold: You simply pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire unit folds in just a few seconds.

The purchase of a double buggy is a big investment, but you'll be able to keep it for a long time and will also get a decent resale value. When comparing prices, it's important to remember that buying a brand name model will let you get extra accessories and upgrades later on. For example, some of our top-rated thule double stroller buggies come with a handy Changing Bag and Carrier included in the cost. This is a must-have item that will help you save time, hassle and money when you travel with your baby.
