A double pram and pushchair Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids

A double buggy will be a necessity for families with more than one child. It can help you navigate through urban areas and off road trails with ease while keeping the kids comfortable and happy.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a double buggy. Be sure that it will fit into your car boot and through your doorway when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is an exciting possibility, but there are plenty of practical aspects to consider. The addition of a second child to the family can mean redesigning living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and acquiring an extra buggy.

If you're looking to purchase twins or just want something narrow, there are lots of great options out there. Our lab experts recommend 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. It rolls smoothly and is a breeze to manoeuvre. However, it could seem a bit long if you're using it in double mode.

The side-by-side buggies are great for keeping children together, but they can be slightly larger than a single stroller. This makes it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm wide, is the tiniest on the market. It's easy to get through doors and into public transport. It is compatible with a variety of car seats, and can grow with your family. It can be used as a mono or tandem buggy once your children are old enough to sit together.

The suspension is ideal for rough terrain, and its adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's ideal for older children, as the seat is elevated in stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's still a great option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy a lot so it's crucial to select a model that feels comfortable to push. Look for a handle with a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, look for a large basket that has plenty of pockets and compartments. 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 allow two children to travel much more convenient. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both car seats facing either backward or forward and even a third seat using the 'piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light frame, swivel wheels, and suspension make it easy to move 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 put away with the seats attached. However, they require some more strength to push them over kerbs and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem, but can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its clever frame that can be expanded widthways, and an adjustable height handle, making it easy to steer with only one hand.

If you plan on using public transport often it is advisable to consider a double-buggy that has big wheels. They are more designed for rough or uneven surfaces. Similarly, check the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy as well as how wide it is when folded to see whether your car is capable of accommodating it. If you live in a small town or village and have narrow pavements, opt for a tandem double buggy where the child is seated behind the other, rather than in front of them, as this will make it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Storage is readily available

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they can help with outings for families with toddlers and infants. Check out the side-by-side buggies if you want an easy-to-drive, lightweight model. They provide plenty of space underneath in the form of a deep basket, as well as additional rear and side pockets to store all your baby essentials. There are a variety of models that feature adjustable handles that are suited to parents of different heights. They also fold up neatly into a compact shape ideal for tight spaces or to store away in the boot.

If you're looking for a more robust double buggy, you can choose one of the all-terrain models. They're typically twins, and are more difficult to maneuver, however they usually come with a reclined seat that is ideal for babies and toddlers. They are a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Some models can be transformed into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercise.

Many of the best double buggies are designed to accommodate a wide range of of seats, carrycots, and car seats. They are an excellent choice for families with twins or siblings of similar age. However, it is crucial to look up the specifications of the model you are interested in.

There are two types of double buggys which are tandem and twin. In tandem the seats are placed in front of the next. The main advantage of twin buggy is that your children can interact, rather than having to take turns or argue over who gets the prime seat. Twin buggy can be larger and make it more difficult to navigate through aisles and doors in the supermarket.

Tandem buggies are usually a bit shorter however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable and could require dismantling in order to fit into the car boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a common feature on most double buggies, so do ensure that the model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A well-designed double buggy should offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Check for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can do and if the seats are adjustable independently to allow you to adjust them as your children develop. Check the weight limits too and whether both have a sun canopy as well as a hood to shield them from wind and rain.

Consider the use of a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are great for toddlers who wish to walk but need an extra ride. They're also ideal for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be paired with a car seat for even more flexibility.

Some parents believe that a side by side double stroller with 5-Point Harness buggy is the most convenient option. However there are a few innovative models available, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the lightest double buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They offer more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's initially a mono pushchair and then you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third one) to the frame by using adaptors, which gives you a wide range of seating arrangements. It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was to fold. Simply pull up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and you can fold the whole thing in just a few seconds.

Double buggys are an investment that will last for years. They also have a good resale price. When looking at prices it's important to consider that purchasing a reputable model will allow you to get extra accessories and upgrades later on. For instance, many of our top-rated double buggies come with a handy Changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is an essential accessory that will help you save time, hassle and money when traveling with your baby.
