A double push chair Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids
A double buggy is an essential item for families with two kids. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children comfortable and happy.
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double buggy. Make sure it fits through the car boot and your doorway when folded.
Lightweight
It's exciting to welcome another child into the family, but there are many practical aspects to consider. The addition of a new child to the family requires rearranging living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and purchasing a double buggy travel system buggy.
There are a variety of options available depending on whether you're looking to purchase twins or just need something a bit smaller. Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that competitors charge extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up a small amount of space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is easy to manoeuvre. However, it could seem a bit long if you're using it in double mode.
Side-byside buggies can be fantastic for keeping your children together however they are generally bigger than a single buggy, which can make them hard to navigate up and down kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width, is the slimmest on the market. It's easy to pass through doors and into public transport. It is compatible with many car seats, and it can grow with your family. You can use it as a tandem or mono buggy once your children are old enough to be seated together.
The suspension is ideal for rough surfaces, and its adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's ideal for older children because the seat is elevated stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not quite as light than other models, but it's still a great choice.
You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's important to look for one that is at ease to push. Find a handle that's comfortable and well-shaped to fit your height, as well as a spacious basket with plenty of compartments and pockets. When you're not using your buggy, you should consider checking how easily it can be folded and put away.
Easy to maneuver
There are some incredible new double buggies out there that make going out and about with two children much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can be used to accommodate twins or one baby and a toddler with both car seats facing forwards or backwards. It can also accommodate a third child with a piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame, swivel wheels, and suspension allow it to be easily moved around town and on rough terrain.
The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that's incredibly light and has a compact footprint. They can be easily moved around with the seats on. They do require more effort to push over kerbs and can be tricky on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great choice as it can accommodate both carrycots and seats in tandem mode but can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its clever frame that expands widthways. It also has an adjustable height handle, which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.
If you intend to travel by public transport a lot, consider whether you're going to need a double buggy that has big wheels, as they are able to perform better on uneven or rough surfaces. Similarly, check how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as how wide it is when folded to see whether your vehicle is capable of accommodating it. If you live in a small double buggy village or town with narrow pavements, opt for a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other instead of sitting next to them, as this makes it easier for them to navigate tight spaces.
Storage is available in abundance
A double buggy isn't necessary for all families but it can make outings more manageable for those with toddlers or newborns. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies for an easy-to-steer, lightweight model. They have a large storage basket under and a rear and side pockets that can be used to store the necessities for your baby. A lot of models come with handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights. They fold up neatly to a compact form making them ideal for small areas or in the boot.
If you're looking for a more robust double buggy, consider one of the all-terrain options. They are typically twins and are more difficult to maneuver, however they usually come with a reclining seat that is perfect for babies and toddlers. They're an excellent choice for active family members. Certain models can be converted into Joggers, making them ideal for running or exercising.
Many of the best double buggies can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or children who are similar in age but it's worth looking over the specifications of any model you're considering to ensure that it will fit your requirements.
There are two types of double buggys that are tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed behind the other. A twin buggy has the primary benefit that your children are able to interact instead of fighting over who sits in the front. However, twin buggys tend to be wider and may be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.
Tandem buggies are generally smaller than single buggies, but are still longer. They're also less stable when bouncing up kerbs and may need dismantling to fit in your car's boot. The majority of double buggies feature independent seat recline and recline, which is now an option that is standard. Make sure your chosen model can be adjusted by each child's seats to the position that they are most comfortable in.
Comfort
Double buggys that are comfortable for parents and children are the best. Check the padding of the straps and the amount of recline that each seat can attain. Also, verify if the seats can be adjusted independently to allow you to adjust the seat to your child's size. Be sure to check the weight limit and whether both have a hood or sun canopy to shield from wind and rain.
If you're looking for a versatile alternative to a double pushchair, you should consider a baby carriage. They are great for toddlers that want to walk, but still require a ride. They're also perfect for babies and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat to give more flexibility.
Some parents feel that a side-by-side double buggy is the most practical option. However, there are some innovative models to choose from, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the tiniest double buggy side by side on the market.
The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It is a mono-pushchair and then you can add a carrycot or a second one to the frame by using adaptors. This offers an array of seating options. It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was fold. You just pull up on the two straps (one under each seat) and you can fold the whole thing in minutes.
Double buggys are a good investment that will last for many years. They also have a good resale cost. When comparing prices, keep in mind that it is best to purchase an established brand as this will allow you to get additional accessories and upgrades in the future. For example, some of our top-rated double buggies come with a convenient changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is a must-have item that will save you time, hassle and money when traveling with your baby.
