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

A double buggy is a must-have for families with two kids. You can navigate urban pathways or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children comfortable and happy.

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when selecting a double pram pushchair buggy. Firstly, check that it will fit through your door and into the car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is an exciting possibility, but there are plenty of practical issues to be considered. Adding another child to the family means redesigning living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, investing in a brand new double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or just need something a little more compact there are plenty of great options that are available. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that competitors will cost extra for. It also folds up extremely neatly to take up less space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is a breeze to manoeuvre. However, it can be a bit long when you're using it in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies work well for keeping kids together but they are slightly larger than the single stroller. This makes it difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market and, at 63cm, it's the same as one pushchair twin. It's easy to maneuver through doors and into public transport. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will expand with your family - it can be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to sit and stand double stroller side-by-side.

The height-adjustable handle is ideal for steering, and the suspension makes light work of slick surfaces. It's ideal for older children because the seat is elevated in stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as light as other models, however it's still a great option.

It's crucial to select the right double buggy that is easy to push. Look for a handle that's comfortable and well-shaped to fit your height, as well as a large basket with many pockets and compartments. When you're not using your buggy, you should consider taking a look at how it folds and can be stored.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some fantastic new double buggies out there that make getting out and about with two kids much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can be used to accommodate twins or one toddler and a baby with both carrycots/seats facing in the direction of forward or reverse. It can also accommodate a third child with piggyback's board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension makes it easy to manoeuvre through town and on rougher terrain.

Other side-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a compact footprint, which makes them easy to slide through doors and on public transport, and you can usually put them away with the seats still in place. However, they need some muscle to push them over kerbs and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great choice as it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem mode but can also be used as a single buggy due to its unique frame that expands widthways and an adjustable height handle, making it simple to steer with just one hand.

If you're planning to use public transport a lot, consider whether you'll require a double buggy with large wheels since they tend to perform better on rough or uneven surfaces. Also, consider how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy as well as the width when folded to determine if your boot will be able to accommodate it. If you live in a small town or village and have narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy in which the child is seated behind the other rather than in front of them, as this makes it easier to navigate narrow spaces.

Lots of storage

A double buggy isn't a necessity for every family but it can make outings more manageable for those with toddlers or newborns. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies if you want a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. They have a large storage basket underneath and side and rear pockets to keep all your baby's essentials. You'll also find many models with adjustable handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights and fold down in a neat, compact form suitable for use in tight spaces or to stow away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are a great option if you're looking for a more robust model. These tend to be twin and can be more difficult to manoeuvre, but they'll often come with a reclining seat for newborns and older infants and are a good option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some models can be transformed into Joggers, making them ideal for running or exercise.

A lot of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a wide range of of carrycots, seats and car seats. This makes them a great option for families with twins or children who are close in age, however, it's important to check the specifications of any model you're thinking about to ensure it's suitable for your needs.

There are two types of double push chair buggy which are tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed on top of the other. A twin buggy has the primary advantage that children can play together, rather than fighting over who sits in front. However, twins tend to be larger and may be difficult to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally a bit shorter, but they're still longer than single to double pushchair models. They're also less stable and might require dismantling to fit into the car boot. Independent seat recline is nowadays a 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

Double buggys that are comfortable for parents and children are the most comfortable. Look out for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can do and if the seats can be independently adjusted so you can adapt to your child's needs as they develop. Check the weight limit, and if both have a hood or sun canopy to protect from rain and wind.

Consider the use of a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are suitable for toddlers who are looking to walk but require to ride in a car, and they are also ideal for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat for even greater flexibility.

Some parents find that a side-by-side double buggy is the most practical option. However, there are some innovative models to choose from, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxurious in herringbone. It is the lightest double buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave tandem buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It is a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot or a second one to the frame with adaptors. This provides you with an array of seating options. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was fold. It is as simple as pulling up on the two straps (one under each seat) and then you can fold the whole thing in minutes.

A double buggy is a big investment, but you'll be able make use of it for many years and will also get a decent resale value. When making comparisons it is important to keep in mind that buying a name brand model will allow you to purchase additional accessories and upgrades later on. Some of our best-rated double buggies come with a useful Changing Bag and Carrier for the price. This is an essential accessory that will save you time, hassle and money when traveling with your baby.
