A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids
A double buggy is an essential item for families with two children. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails with ease while keeping your kids comfortable and content.
When choosing a double stroller, there are many things to consider. Make sure it fits through your car boot and your doorway when folded.
Lightweight
The prospect of bringing a second child home is an exciting prospect but there are a lot of practical issues to be considered. Addition of a second child to the family requires changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about vehicle seats and acquiring a double running stroller buggy.
There are many great options available depending on whether you're looking to purchase twins or just want something narrow. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that other brands will cost additional fees for. It also folds very neatly to make it easier to store in your boot. It's simple to maneuver and moves well, as per testers. It can feel a bit long when in double mode.
Side-by-side buggies are great to keep your kids together but they are typically bigger than a single buggy, which can make them hard to navigate through kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and at just 63cm wide it's the same size as the single pushchair. This makes it easy to fit through doors and on public transport. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and can adapt to your growing family - it can be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are ready to sit side by side.
The height-adjustable handle is ideal for steering and the suspension is able to make light work of rough surfaces. It's great for older children because the seat is elevated in a stadium style. This provides them with a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, however it's still an excellent choice.
You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's essential to choose a model that feels at ease to push. Choose a handle that has a cushioned grip that is made to fit your height. Also, a large basket that has plenty of pockets and compartments. It's also worth looking into 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 that make traveling with two kids much more convenient. The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose choice that can fit twins or one toddler and one baby with both carrycots/seats facing forward or backwards. It can also accommodate a third child with piggyback's board (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame, swivel front wheels and suspension make it easy to maneuver through the city and over rougher terrain.
Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a small footprint so they're 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 is another ideal option since it can accommodate both carrycots and seats in tandem mode but can also be used as a single stroller thanks to its clever frame that expands widthways and an adjustable height handle, which makes it easy to steer with only one hand.
If you intend to travel by public transport frequently, think about whether you'll require a double buggy with big wheels as these tend to be more tolerant of rough or uneven surfaces. Also, consider the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy and how wide it is when folded to determine whether your car is able to accommodate it. If you reside in an area that has narrow streets, choose a double stroller that has the child is seated behind their companion, rather than beside them. This will make it easier to maneuver through tight spaces.
Storage is available in abundance
Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they do help with outings for families with infants and toddlers. If you're looking to purchase a light model that's easy to steer look into the selection of double buggies that are side-by-side. These have a large basket underneath as well as side and rear pockets that can be used to store the necessities for your baby. There are a variety of models that feature adjustable handles to suit parents of different heights. They fold in a neat, compact form suitable to be used in tight spaces or to stow away in the boot.
All-terrain double stroller with car seat buggys are a great option if you're looking for a more robust model. These are typically twins and are more difficult to manoeuvre however, they're usually equipped with a reclined seat for newborns and older infants and are a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Some models can be transformed into Joggers, making them ideal for running or exercising.
Many of the best double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of of seats, carrycots, and car 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 specifications of any model you're considering to make sure it's suitable for your needs.
There are two types of double buggy: tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed behind the other. The primary benefit of a twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate, rather than having to take turns or argue over who gets the prime place. Twin buggys can be wider and make it more difficult to navigate through aisles and doors at the supermarket.
Tandem buggies are usually smaller however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable and might require dismantling in order to fit into your car's boot. Independent seat recline is now a fairly standard feature on most double buggies, so do ensure that your model will let you adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.
Comfort
Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the best. Check the padding on the straps and the amount of recline each seat can attain. Also, make sure that the seats can be adjusted independently so you can adjust them to your child's growth. Check the weight limits too and whether they both come with a sun canopy or an hood to protect them from wind and rain.
Consider a baby carrier to replace a double pram pushchair stroller. They are great for toddlers that want to walk, but still need a ride. They're also perfect for babies and newborns. Some carriers can be used with a car seat for children to give you even more flexibility.
Some parents find that a side-by-side double buggy is the most practical option. However there are a few innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxurious in herringbone. It is the thinnest double buggy side by side on the market.
The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It is a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a second or carrycot to the frame using adaptors. This offers an array of seating options. It's smooth to steer, has a great suspension, and Lab experts really liked how easy it was to fold. All you have to do is pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the entire unit folds in a matter of seconds.
A double buggy is a big investment, but you'll be able to use it for years and also enjoy a decent resale value. When comparing prices, keep in mind that it's best to buy an item from a reputable brand, as it will allow you to acquire additional accessories and upgrades in the future. For instance, many of our top-rated double buggies come with a convenient changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is a must-have item that will save you time, effort and money when traveling with your child.
