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 will enable you to navigate urban pathways and off road trails with ease while keeping the kids comfortable and happy.

There are a variety of factors 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 considerations. The addition of another child to the family means redesigning living spaces, rethinking car seats, and of course, purchasing the latest double buggy.

If you're looking to purchase twins or want something narrow, there are lots of great options on the market. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that rival brands charge extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up little space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is easy to move. However, it can be a bit long when you're in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are ideal for keeping children together, but they can be somewhat larger than one stroller. This can make it difficult to move up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market though and, at 63cm, it's the same as a single pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and public transport. It's compatible with many car seats, and can grow with your family. You can use it as mono or tandem buggy after 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 ideal for older children, as 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 option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's important to choose a model that feels comfortable to push. Choose a handle that has a cushioned grip that is designed to fit your height. Also, a large basket with many pockets and compartments. It's also worth looking into how it's easy to fold and store your buggy when you're not using it.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some fantastic double buggies on the market that allow you to travel with two children much easier. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both carrycots or seats facing either backward or forward and even a third seat with a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel wheels and suspension make it easy to maneuver around town and on rougher terrain.

Other side-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a small footprint, which makes them easy to slide through doors and on public transport and often you can put them away with the seats still in place. They do require more effort to push over kerbs and can be tricky on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode using both carrycots and seats, but it can also be used to push a single buggy. The clever frame can be expanded width-wise.

If you intend to use public transport a lot, consider whether you'll require a double buggy with big wheels since they tend to perform better on uneven or rough surfaces. Check how easy it will be to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width of the buggy when folded, to see if it will fit in your car. If you reside in an area that has narrow streets, you should consider a tandem double stroller where the child is seated behind their partner instead of sitting in front of them. This makes it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces.

Plenty of storage

A double buggy isn't a necessity for every family, but it can make outings more manageable for those with toddlers and newborns. If you're looking for a lightweight model that's easy to steer take a look at the variety of double buggies that are side-by-side. They offer plenty of space underneath in the form of a spacious basket and additional side and rear pockets for all your baby essentials. You'll also find many models that feature adjustable handles that are suited to parents of different heights. They fold down easily into a compact size suitable for use in small spaces or for tucking away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are good option if you're seeking a more durable model. They are usually twins and are more difficult to maneuver but they're often equipped with a reclining seat designed for newborns and older babies and are a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Some of them allow you to transform the buggy into Jogger, which makes them perfect for running and exercise.

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

There are two main types of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit together, or tandem double buggy, with one seat in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main advantage that your children can play together, rather than fighting over who sits in front. Twin buggys are often wider and more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways at the grocery store.

Tandem buggies are generally a little shorter than single buggies, but are nonetheless longer. They are also less stable and could require dismantling to fit in your car's boot. The majority of double buggies come with an recline for the seat independently that is nowadays a standard feature. Make sure that the model can be adjusted by each child's seats to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the best lightweight double stroller. Examine the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline each seat is able to achieve. Also, check if the seats can be adjusted independently to allow you to adapt the seat to your child's size. Check the weight limit, and if each has a hood, or sun canopy that protects from rain and wind.

Consider a baby carrier as an alternative to a double travel buggy stroller. They can be used for toddlers who would like to walk but need a ride on board and they're also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat to give more flexibility.

Many parents find a side-byside double buggy to be the most convenient to use, but there are also some innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone, which is extremely slim and is the tiniest double buggy with a side-by-side layout available (it's the same width as a single stroller).

The Wave tandem buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It starts as a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot to the frame by using adaptors. This gives you the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was fold. Simply pull up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and you can collapse the whole thing in minutes.
