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

A double buggy is an essential item for families with two kids. It can help you navigate through urban areas and off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your kids safe and happy.

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double buggy. Make sure it fits through your car boot and through your doorway when folded.

Lightweight

The prospect of bringing a second child home is an exciting prospect but there are plenty of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a second child to the family will require changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about the seating arrangements in vehicles, and investing in a double buggy.

Whether you're shopping for twins or simply require something smaller there are plenty of excellent options that are available. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that rival brands will charge additional fees for. It also folds up extremely neatly to make it easier to store in your boot. It rolls smoothly and is a breeze to manoeuvre. However, it can be a bit long when you're in double mode.

Side-byside buggies can be fantastic to keep your kids together however they are generally wider than a single buggy, which can make them difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market though and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same size as one pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and on public transport. It's compatible with many car seats, and it can expand with your family. You can use it as mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to be seated 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 stadium style. This provides them with a better view of the action. It's not as light as other models in this list but it's still a good choice.

You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's important to look for a model that feels comfortable to push. Choose a handle that is padded and well-shaped to suit your height, as well as a large basket with plenty of pockets and compartments. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth taking a look at how it can be folded and stored.

Easy to Manoeuvre





There are some fantastic new double buggies available that make getting out and about with two kids much more enjoyable. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can fit twins or one toddler and one baby with both car seats facing forward or backwards. It can also accommodate a third kid using a piggyback' board (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension makes it easy to maneuver through town and on rougher terrain.

Other side-by-side models 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 often store them with seats still attached. However, they need some muscle to push over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem, but can also be used as a single buggy due to its unique frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height-adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you're planning 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 be more tolerant of uneven or rough surfaces. Similarly, check the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy as well as the width when folded to determine if your boot will be enough to hold it. If you reside in a small village or town with narrow pavements, opt for a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other instead of directly in front of them, since this will make it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Lots of storage

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they do help with outings for families with toddlers and infants. Check out the side-by-side buggies if you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. They come with a large basket underneath and a rear and side pockets that can be used to store the essentials 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 spaces or in the boot.

If you want a more robust double buggy, try one of the all-terrain models. They are typically twins and are more difficult to maneuver, however they usually come with a reclined seat that is ideal for toddlers and infants. They're an excellent choice for those who love the outdoors and active family members. Some even permit you to transform the buggy into a running jogger, making them ideal for running and exercising.

A lot of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, seats and car seats. They are a great choice for families with twins, or siblings with similar ages. However, it is crucial to look up the specifications of any model that you're interested in.

There are two primary types of double buggy : twin that is where your children sit together, or tandem, where one seat is in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main benefit that your children are able to play together, rather than fighting over who gets to sit in the front. However, twins are usually wider and may be difficult to navigate through the supermarket's doorways and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be a bit shorter, but they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs and might require dismantling to fit in your car's boot. Independent seat recline is now a common feature on the majority of double buggies, so ensure that your model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for parents and children are the most comfortable. Be sure to look for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat can do and whether the seats are independently adjustable to allow you to adjust them as your children develop. Be sure to check the weight limits and if they come with a sun canopy or a hood to shield them from wind and rain.

Consider using a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are great for toddlers that want to walk, but still require an extra ride. They're also perfect for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a child car seat to give you even more flexibility.

Many parents find a side-byside double buggy the most comfortable to navigate, but there are some unique models out there like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone which is amazingly thin and is the lightest double buggy with a side-by-side layout available (it's the same width as a single stroller).

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another smart choice that gives you more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It is a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot or a second one to the frame by using adaptors. This gives you a variety of seating options. It's smooth to steer, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts loved the ease with which it is to fold. You just pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire thing folds down in a matter of minutes.

Double buggys are an investment that will last for many years. They also offer a reasonable resales cost. When comparing prices, it's important to remember that buying a name brand model will allow you to get extra accessories and upgrades later on. For example, some of our top-rated double buggies come with an easy changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is a must-have accessory that will save you time and effort when you have to travel with your kids.
