20 Trailblazers Leading The Way In Double Buggy

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

A double buggy is essential for families with more than one child. It can help you navigate through urban areas and off-road trails with ease whilst keeping the kids comfortable and content.

There are a variety of factors to think about when choosing a double buggy. First, make sure it can pass through your doorway and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is an exciting possibility, but there are plenty of practical considerations. The addition of a new child to the family will require redesigning living spaces, rethinking vehicle seats, and investing in the double buggy.

There are plenty of great options available depending on whether you're looking to purchase twins or simply need something a bit smaller. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a range of accessories that competitors will charge extra for. It folds in a neat way to take up less space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to move. However, it could feel a little long when you're using it in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are great for keeping your children together but they tend to be wider than a single buggy which can make them difficult to navigate through kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market though and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same width as the single pushchair twin. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and on public transport. It's compatible with all kinds 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 be seated side-by-side.

The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's great for older children since the seat is elevated in stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models on this list, but it's still a good choice.

It's crucial to select a double buggy that is comfortable to push. Look for a handle with padding and a grip made to fit your height. Also, look for a large basket with lots of compartments and pockets. It's also worth looking into how it's simple to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some fantastic new double buggies available that allow you to travel with two kids much more enjoyable. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can accommodate twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both carrycots or seats facing either backward or forward and even a third seat using a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension ensure it's easy to manoeuvre through the city and over rougher terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that is extremely light and has a compact double stroller footprint. They can be easily moved around with the seats on. They require more effort to push over kerbs and aren't ideal for uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode with both car seats and seat, but it can also be used to push a single buggy. The clever frame expands widthways.

If you are planning to use public transport frequently it is advisable to consider a double stroller for twins-buggy that has big wheels. These are better designed for rough or uneven surfaces. Additionally, take note of how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as how wide it is when folded to determine if your boot will be capable of accommodating it. If you live in a small town or village and have narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other, instead of sitting directly in front of them, since this makes it easier for them to navigate tight spaces.

Storage is readily available

A double buggy isn't essential for all families, but it makes outings more manageable for families with toddlers and newborns. If you're looking to purchase a light model that's easy to maneuver, check out the range of side-by-side double buggies. These have a large basket under as well as side and rear pockets to keep all the necessities for your baby. Some models have handles that are adjustable that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights. They also fold neatly into a compact size making them ideal for small spaces or in the boot.

If you're looking for a more robust double buggy, consider one of the all-terrain models. These tend to be twin and are more difficult to maneuver, but they'll often come with a reclined seat for infants and older children and are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some allow you to transform the buggy into a running jogger, making them ideal for running and exercise.

Many of the best double buggies can be used with various combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats. They are an excellent choice for families with twins or siblings with similar ages. However, it's crucial to look up the specifications of the model you're interested in.

There are two primary kinds of double buggy - twin, where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem, with one seat in front of the other. The primary benefit of a twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate instead of having to take turns or fight over who gets the best seat. Twin buggys can be wider and more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways in the supermarket.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller, but they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable and could require dismantling in order to fit in the car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a fairly standard feature on most double buggies. So, ensure that the model will let you adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A quality double buggy will offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Make sure you check the padding on the straps and the amount of recline that each seat can achieve. Also, verify if the seats can be adjusted separately so that you can adjust them to your child's growth. Make sure you know the weight limit and if they both have a hood or sun canopy to shield from rain and wind.

Consider using a baby carrier as an alternative to a double buggy for twins stroller. They are suitable for toddlers who are looking to walk but require a ride on board and they are also ideal for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat for even more flexibility.

Some parents find that a side by side double buggy is the best option. However there are a few innovative models to choose from, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the tiniest double buggy side by side available on the market.

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another clever option that provides more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It's designed as a single pushchair, but you can add a second seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third) to the frame by using adaptors, giving you a wide range of seating arrangements. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was to fold. You just pull up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and you can collapse the entire thing in a matter of minutes.

Double buggys are a good investment that will last for many years. They also have a good resale price. When comparing prices it is important to keep in mind that buying a name brand model can allow you to get extra accessories and upgrades later on. The top-rated double buggies include a handy changing Bag and Carrier at a reasonable price. This is an essential accessory that will save you time, effort and money when you travel with your baby.
