A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids A double buggy will be essential for families with more than one child. It can help you navigate through urban areas and off road trails with ease whilst keeping the kids comfortable and content. There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when selecting a double buggy. Make sure it fits into your car boot and through your doorway when folded. Lightweight It's exciting to bring home a second child, but there are many practical aspects to consider. The addition of a child to the family will require reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, buying a brand new double buggy. There are plenty of great options to choose from regardless of whether you're looking for twins or need something a bit smaller. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a number of accessories that other brands will cost additional fees for. It folds in a neat way to make it easier to store in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to manoeuvre. It can feel a bit long when used in double mode. Side-by-side buggies work well for keeping kids together but they are slightly larger than one stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm wide, is the tiniest available on the market. This allows it to be easily pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's compatible with a range of car seats and will expand with your family and can be used as a mono and tandem buggy when your children are old enough to sit side-by-side. The suspension is ideal for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height handle makes steering simple. It's a great choice for older kids because the seat is elevated in stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's still a great option. It is essential to choose the right double buggy that is easy to push. Find a handle with a cushioned grip that is shaped to your height. Also, look for a large basket with many pockets and compartments. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth considering how easily it folds up and put away.

The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose model that can accommodate twins or one toddler and one baby with both carrycots/seats facing forwards or backwards. It can also accommodate a third kid using piggyback' boards (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light weight, swivel wheels, and suspension allow it to be easily moved around town and on rougher terrain. Other side-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a smaller footprint, making them easy to fit through doors and on public transport and you can often store them with seats still in place. They require more effort to push over kerbs, and can be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be utilized in tandem mode with both seats/carrycots however, it can also be used to push one buggy. Its innovative frame expands widthways. If you plan on using public transport frequently it is advisable to consider a double-buggy that has big wheels. They are more for rough or uneven surfaces. Find out the ease to fold and unfold, as well as the width of the buggy once folded to determine if it can fit in your boot. If you live in a small town or village with narrow roads, you should consider a double buggy that has the child is seated behind the other, instead of sitting next to them, as this makes it easier to navigate narrow spaces.

Many of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a wide range of of seats, carrycots and car seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or children who are similar in age, however, it's important to check the specs of any model you're considering to ensure that it's suitable for your needs. There are two primary types of double buggy – twin, where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem with one seat in front of the other. A twin buggy has the primary advantage that your children can interact instead of fighting over who sits in front. However, twin buggys tend to be wider and can be tricky to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Tandem buggies tend to be a bit shorter however, they're still longer than single models. They are also less stable and might require dismantling in order to fit in your car's boot. The majority of double buggies feature independent seat recline, which is nowadays an option that is standard. Make sure that the model allows you to adjust each child's seats to the position they're most comfortable in. Comfort Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the most comfortable. Examine the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline each seat can attain. Also, check if the seats can be adjusted independently so you can adjust to your child's needs. Be sure to check the weight limit, and if both have a hood or sun canopy to protect from rain and wind. Consider a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They can be used by toddlers who want to walk but need an adult ride. they're also great for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used with a car seat to give greater flexibility. Pushchairs And Prams consider a side-by-side double buggy to be the most convenient to use, but there are some unique models out there like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone that is incredibly slim and is the tiniest double buggy with a side-by-side layout on the market (it's the same width as a single stroller). The Wave tandem buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another good option. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's initially a mono pushchair and then you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame by using adaptors, giving you the option of a variety of seating options.
