Buying a Twin Buggy

If you're taking twins or two children who are similar in age, this selection of double prams and buggies makes it simple to transport your kids from A to B. Tandem models are ideal for siblings of similar age and single-seaters provide greater maneuverability on public transport and in smaller space.

Side-by-side buggies, such as the Out n About Nipper lightweight double stroller are slim enough to fit through the majority of doors and require less space on the road. Look for a recline that is independent and a powerful suspension that can handle difficult terrain.

Comfort

If you're planning on taking twins out and about, you need a twin buggy that offers plenty of comfort. You can get seats with adjustable Calf rests that help keep babies comfy, as well as an extendable sun canopy and a spacious storage basket. Many manufacturers offer additional features such as cup holders or rain covers to make sure you have everything you need on your family outings.

The width of your buggy is an important aspect to consider. While there are some slimmer twin models available that will fit through doors that are standard, you'll need to measure and verify with the manufacturer before buying. You'll also need to adjust your seating arrangement when you have twins of different age groups or with different requirements.

This makes it one the slimmest side-byside options available.

The seats come with independently recline options, allowing you to find the best position for your little ones and the large UPF50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests provides plenty of protection from the elements.

Safety

The best twin buggies have a suspension that can handle grass, gravel paths, and kerbs. Some even have two front wheels for extra stability when navigating rough terrain or bumpy roads. Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy when you let go of the handlebar, so that you can catch it before it flies away. Make sure you know the weight limit for the double buggy if you want to take your kids on a run or walk. It's also recommended to test the recline of your seat to ensure your kids are at ease during long jogging or walking.

They might be heavier, have a bigger footprint and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.

Tandem buggys are more likely be double travel systems models, able to attach two carrycots or carseats simultaneously. Some models can be enlarged to accommodate two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They may be smaller than side-by-side twin buggies however, they are larger than single buggy models. However, they may not fit through doorways if the manufacturers' 'standard' doors are too narrow.

The one-seat models are generally narrower and take up less space on the pavement than other double buggy models. They are an excellent choice for twins and siblings who want to sit together without disturbing each other by fighting or pulling one hair. Some models are designed to be separate in their reclined seat, so your little ones can sleep comfortably without hitting each one.
