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

A double buggy is essential for families with more than one child. You can navigate urban pathways or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children comfortable and happy.

There are a variety of factors to think about when choosing a double buggy. First, ensure that it can fit through your doorway and into the car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is an exciting possibility, but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. Adding another child to the family will require changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about car seats, and of course, investing in a brand new double buggy.

There are many great options to choose from, whether you're looking for twins or simply want something that is narrow. Our lab experts love the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that other brands cost extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up little space in your boot. It's easy to maneuver and rolls well, as per users. However, it may seem a bit long if you're in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are ideal for keeping children together however they can be a bit wider than a single stroller. This makes it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width is the tiniest available available. It is easy to pass through doors and onto public transport. It's compatible with many car seats and can grow with your family. You can use it as a tandem or mono buggy after your children are old enough to sit together.

The suspension is excellent for rough terrain, and its adjustable height handle makes steering simple. It's ideal for older children because the seat is elevated in stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not as light as other models, but it's still a great choice.

It is essential to choose the right double buggy that is easy to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, a large basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. It's also worth assessing how it's easy to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some amazing double buggies on the market that make traveling with two children much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose choice that can be used to accommodate twins or one toddler and a baby with both carrycots/seats facing in the direction of forward or reverse. It can also accommodate a third child using piggyback' boards (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame, swivel front wheels and suspension ensure it's easy to manoeuvre through town and on rougher terrain.

Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a smaller footprint, which makes them easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport and you can usually store them with seats still attached. However, they require some muscle to push them over kerbs and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single stroller thanks to its unique frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with only one hand.

If you're planning to use public transport frequently, think about whether you'll require a double buggy that has big wheels since they tend to cope better with rough or uneven surfaces. Also, consider the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy as well as the width when folded to see whether your vehicle is capable of accommodating it. If you live in a small town or village with narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy where the child is seated behind the other, rather than directly in front of them, since this makes it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Storage is plentiful and readily available

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they can make outings easier for those with infants and toddlers. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies for a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. They have a large storage basket underneath as well as side and rear pockets that can be used to store your baby's essentials.

If you want a more robust double buggy, try one of the all-terrain options.

They're a great option for those who love the outdoors and active family members. Some models can be transformed into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercise.

A lot of the top double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, car seats and seats. They are an excellent choice for families with twins, or siblings with similar age. But, it's important to check the specifications of any model that you are interested in.

There are two types of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem where one seat is in front of the other. A twin pushchairs buggy has one main advantage that your children can be together instead of fighting over who should sit and stand double stroller in the front. However, twins tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly shorter however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs, and may require dismantling in order to fit into your car's boot. Most double strollers buggies have independent seat recline that is now an option that is standard. Be sure that the model has the ability to adjust the child's seat to a position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

A good double buggy should provide both parents and children plenty of comfort. Look out for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can achieve and if the seats are adjustable independently so you can adapt them as your children grow. Be sure to check the weight limit and whether each has a hood, or sun canopy to shield from rain and wind.

If you're looking for a versatile alternative to a double pushchair then you should consider a baby carriage. They are great for toddlers who want to walk but require the comfort of a ride. They're also ideal for babies and newborns. Some carriers can be used with a car seat for children, giving you more flexibility.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's a single-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot or a second one to the frame by using adaptors. This provides you with a variety of seating options. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was fold.
