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

A double buggy is an essential item for families with two kids. You can navigate urban pathways or off-road trails with ease while keeping your children comfortable and happy.

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

Lightweight

It's thrilling to welcome another child into the family but there are a number of practical considerations. The addition of a second child to the family can mean redesigning living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and acquiring a double buggy.

There are plenty of great options to choose from, whether you're looking for twins or just need something a bit smaller. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a number of accessories that other brands will cost extra for. It also folds extremely neatly to take up less space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is easy to manoeuvre. It may feel a little long when used in double mode.

The side-by-side buggies are great for keeping kids together however they can be a bit wider than one stroller. This makes it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market, and at just 63cm wide it's the same as one pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doorways and on 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 once your children are old enough to be seated together.

Its height adjustable handle is ideal for steering and the suspension can take care of rough surfaces. It's a great choice for older children, since it has a seat elevated in a stadium style, giving them a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's still an excellent choice.

You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's essential to select a model that feels easy to push. Find a handle with a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, a large basket with lots 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 fantastic new double buggies out there that make going out and about with two kids much easier. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both seats/carrycots facing forward or backward, and even a third seat with piggyback boards (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light weight, swivel wheels, and suspension make it easy to maneuver in 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 put them away with the seats still in place. However, they do require some more strength to push them over kerbs and can be trickier on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode with both seats/carrycots and can be used to push one buggy. Its innovative frame expands widthways.

If you plan to travel by public transport often, think about whether you'll require a double buggy with big wheels as these tend to perform better on rough or uneven surfaces. Check how easy it will be to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width of the buggy once folded to determine if it's going to fit in your boot. If you reside in a small town or village and have narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other instead of next to them, as this makes it easier to navigate narrow spaces.

A lot of storage

A double buggy isn't essential for all families but it can make outings easier for those with toddlers or newborns. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies for an easy-to-steer, lightweight model. They offer plenty of space under in the form of a large basket and additional side and rear pockets for all the baby necessities. There are a variety of models with adjustable handles that are suited to parents of different heights. They also fold down in a neat, compact form suitable for small spaces or for tucking away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are a great option if you're seeking a more durable model. These are usually twins, and are more difficult to maneuver, but often come with a reclined seat that is great for babies and toddlers. They're a great option for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Some models can be converted into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercise.

A majority of the top double buggies can be used with many different combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats. This makes them a great option for families with twins or siblings who are close in age, however, it's important to check the specs of any model you're considering to make sure 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 in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main benefit that your children are able to be together instead of fighting over who should sit in front.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller however, they're still longer than single models. They are also less stable and may require dismantling to fit in your car boot. Independent seat recline is now a common feature on the majority of double buggies. So, ensure that your model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the most comfortable. Check the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline that each seat can achieve. Also, check if the seats can be adjusted independently to allow you to adjust them to your child's growth. Be sure to check the weight limits and whether both have a sun canopy as well as a hood to protect them from wind and rain.
