Your Worst Nightmare About Double Buggy Relived

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

A double buggy is essential for families with two kids. It is possible to navigate urban roads or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children safe and content.

When you are choosing a double stroller, there are a lot of things to consider. Firstly, check that it can fit through your door and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to welcome the second child home, but there are many practical considerations. The addition of a child to the family will require reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, purchasing the latest double jogging stroller buggy.

If you're looking for twins or just require something smaller, there are lots of great options on the market. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that rival brands cost extra for and is very compact and folds up to take up a small amount of space in your boot. It's easy to maneuver and rolls well, according to the test subjects. However, it can seem a bit long if you're using it in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies can be great to keep your kids together but they are typically larger than a single buggy, which can make them difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market, and at 63cm, it's the same size as a single pushchair. It's easy to pass through doors and into public transport. It's compatible with all kinds of car seats and can grow with your family and can be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to be seated side-by-side.

Its height adjustable handle is ideal for steering, and the suspension is able to make light work of rough surfaces. It's a great option for older kids, as it has a seat that's elevated to give them a better view of the action. It's not as light as other models in this list but it's a great option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy a lot so it's important to select an item that is at ease to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. It's also worth assessing how easy it is to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some amazing new double buggies available that allow you to travel with two kids much easier. For instance, 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 forward or backward and even a third seat using piggyback boards (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel wheels and suspension allow it to be easily moved through the city and on rough terrain.

Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a small footprint, which makes them easy to slide through doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with seats still in place. They require more effort to push them over kerbs, and they can be tricky on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great choice as it can accommodate both carrycots and seats in tandem, but can also be used as a single stroller thanks to its clever frame that expands widthways. It also has a height adjustable handle making it simple to steer with just one hand.

If you plan to use public transportation often, think about whether you're going to need a double buggy with big wheels as these tend to perform better on uneven or rough surfaces. Find out how easy it will be to fold and unfold, as well as the size of the buggy when folded, to determine if it's going to fit in your boot. If you live in an area with narrow streets, you should consider a tandem double stroller where the child is seated behind their partner rather than behind them. This will make it easier to maneuver in narrow spaces.

Storage is available in abundance

A thule double stroller buggy isn't a necessity for all families, but it can make outings easier for families with toddlers and newborns. Look into the side-byside buggies if you're looking for an easy-to-drive, lightweight model. These have a large basket underneath as well as side and rear pockets to store all the necessities for your baby. There are a variety of models that feature adjustable handles that are suited to parents of different heights. They fold neatly into a compact shape suitable for use in tight spaces or to store away in the boot.

If you want a more robust double buggy, try one of the all-terrain options. They are typically twins and more difficult to maneuver, but they often have a reclining seat that is perfect for toddlers and babies. They're an excellent choice for active family members. Some of them allow you to convert the buggy into a running jogger, making them ideal for running and exercising.

Many of the best double pram pushchair buggies can accommodate various combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or siblings that are similar in age, but it's worth looking over the specs of any model you're thinking about to ensure it's suitable for your needs.

There are two main types of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit together, or tandem, where one seat is placed in front of the other. The main advantage of a twin buggy is that your children can interact instead of having to rotate or argue over who gets the prime place. However, twins are usually wider and may be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be a bit shorter however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable when bouncing up kerbs and might require dismantling to fit in your car's boot. The majority of nipper double buggy buggies feature independent seat recline and recline, which is now a standard feature. Make sure your chosen model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

A good double buggy should provide both parents and children plenty of comfort. Make sure you check the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline that each seat can attain. Also, make sure that the seats can be adjusted separately so you can adjust them to your child's growth. Make sure you know the weight limit and whether both have a hood or sun canopy to protect from rain and wind.

Consider the use of a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They can be used for toddlers who are looking to walk but require a ride on board and they're also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a child car seat to give you more flexibility.

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

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another good option. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It is a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot to the frame by using adaptors. This offers a variety of seating options. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic 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 collapse the whole thing in seconds.

Double buggys are a good investment that will last for years. They also offer a reasonable resales cost. When looking at prices it's important to consider that buying a brand name model will allow you to acquire additional accessories and upgrades later. For example, some of our top-rated double buggies come with an easy changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is an essential item that will help you save time and stress when you have to travel with your children.
