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

A double buggy is a must-have for families with two children. You can navigate urban pathways or off-road trails with ease while keeping your children comfortable and content.

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double buggy. Firstly, check that it will fit through your doorway and into the car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second hand double buggy baby is an exciting prospect but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a child to the family will require changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about car seats, and of course, buying a brand new double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or need something a little more compact, there are lots of excellent options on the market. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that other brands cost extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up little space in your boot. It's easy to move and it rolls well, as per the test subjects. It can feel a bit long when used in double mode.

The side-by-side buggies are great to keep children in a single space, but they can be somewhat larger than one stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm width is the tiniest available on the market. It is easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transportation. It is compatible with many car seats, and it can expand with your family. It can be used as a 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 makes steering a breeze. It's a great choice for older kids, as the seat is elevated stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models on this list, but it's still a nippy 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 that's well-padded and shaped to match your height, and a large basket with plenty of pockets and compartments. When you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds and can be stored.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some amazing new double buggies that allow two children to travel much easier. 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 seats/carrycots facing either backward or forward and even a third one with the 'piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension make it easy to maneuver through the city and over rough terrain.

Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light 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 the seats still in place. However, they do require a bit more muscle to get over kerbs, and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single buggy due to its clever frame that expands widthways and a height-adjustable handle making it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you're planning to travel by public transport a lot, consider whether you'll need a double buggy with big wheels since they tend to cope better with uneven or rough surfaces. Similarly, check how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy as well as the width when folded to determine whether your vehicle is enough to hold it. If you reside in an area that has narrow streets, consider a double stroller that has the child is placed behind their companion, instead of sitting behind them. This makes it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces.

Lots of storage

A cheap double stroller buggy isn't necessary for every family, but it makes outings more manageable for those with toddlers or newborns. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies for an easy-to-steer, lightweight model. These offer lots of space underneath in the form of a large basket and additional rear and side pockets to store all the baby necessities. You'll also find many models with adjustable handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights. They also fold neatly into a compact shape that is suitable to be used in small spaces or for tucking away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are excellent option for those looking for a stronger model. These are typically twins and can be more difficult to maneuver, but they'll often come with a reclined seat for newborns and older babies and are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Some models can be converted into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercise.

A lot of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a wide range of of seats, carrycots, and car seats. They are a great choice for families with twins, or siblings of similar ages. However, it's crucial to look up the specifications of the model you're considering.

There are two types of double pram and pushchair buggy which are tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed on top of the other. A twin buggy has the main advantage that children can be together instead of fighting over who gets to sit in the front. However, twin buggy tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller however, they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable and might require dismantling to fit into your car's boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a fairly standard feature on most double buggies. So, ensure that your 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 achieve and whether the seats can be independently adjusted so you can adapt to your child's needs as they develop. Check the weight limits too and whether both have a sun canopy as well as a hood to protect them from wind and rain.

If you're looking for a flexible alternative to a double pushchair, you should consider a baby carriage. They are suitable for toddlers who would like to walk but need a ride on board and they're also great for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used with a car seat to give greater flexibility.

Some parents feel that a side by side double buggy is the best option. However there are a few innovative models available, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxurious in herringbone. It is the thinnest double buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another smart choice that gives you more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It starts as a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot to the frame with adaptors. This offers the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to steer, has a great suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was fold. You just pull up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and then you can fold the entire thing in a matter of just a few seconds.

Buying a double buggy is an investment however, you'll be able to make use of it for many years and also enjoy an acceptable resale value. When comparing prices, it's important to remember that buying a brand name model will allow you to purchase additional accessories and upgrades later on. For instance, a few 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 save you time, hassle and money when you travel with your child.
