Buying a Twin Buggy

If you're looking to take twins or two children who are similar in age, this collection of double prams and buggies makes it easy to get your children from A to B. Tandem models are ideal for siblings with similar ages while single-seaters allow for greater maneuverability on public transport and in smaller space.

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

Comfort

You need a twin stroller that is comfortable if you intend to take twins out.

Many manufacturers offer additional features like cup holders and rain covers to ensure you have everything you need on your family outings.

The size of your buggy is another important aspect to consider. While there are slimmer twin models available that will fit through standard doorways however, you'll need to measure your child's height and consult with the manufacturer prior to making a purchase. You'll also have to alter your seating arrangement in case you have twins of different age or with different requirements.

Safety

The best twin buggies are durable and all-terrain with suspensions that are able to take on grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some even have two wheels on the front for additional stability when driving through rough terrain or bumpy roads. Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy if you release the handlebar, so you can catch it before it rolls away. Check the weight limit of a double buggy if you are planning to take your children on a walk or run. It's also recommended to test the recline of your seat to ensure your children are comfortable on long walks or jogs.

There are three types of twin buggies: tandem and one-seated. Side-by-side models are perfect for siblings who are close in age, as they provide space for both to sit together, so they can interact and talk during strolls. This type of twin buggy may be smaller than other models, which makes them easier to maneuver and pass through doors. However, they can be heavier and have a bigger footprint than single buggies. This makes them less stable when bumping up kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be expanded to accommodate two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower than twin buggies with side-by-side seating, but can still be longer than single buggy models and may not always pass through doors if the doors that are made by the manufacturer are too narrow.

One-seaters are typically smaller than other kinds of double buggy and use less pavement. They are an excellent choice for twins or siblings who want to sit together without disturbing each other by fighting or pulling each hair. Some models are designed to be independent in their reclined seat and your kids can snooze comfortably without kicking each one.

Convenience

If your little ones would like to take their favorite dolls or teddies for a stroll with them, you can easily do this with a twin buggy. Many models have seats where two children can sit side-by-side so they can interact together and some come with a handy carry basket that folds down to store everything.

The design is also very user-friendly, with a one-handed fold and easy unfold. It rolls well and the suspension does a great job of the kerbs.
