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

A double buggy is an essential item for families with more than one child. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails with ease while keeping your children safe and happy.

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double buggy. Check that it can fit through your car boot and doorway when folded.

Lightweight

The prospect of bringing a second child home is an exciting prospect but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a second child to the family will require changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about the seating arrangements in vehicles and purchasing a double buggy.

Whether you're shopping for twins or need something a little more compact there are plenty of great options out there. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that other brands cost extra for and can fold up very well to occupy a tiny space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is easy to move. It can feel a bit long when it is in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are great for keeping your children together but they are typically larger than a single buggy which makes them difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market, and at 63cm, it's the same as one pushchair. It's easy to pass through doors and onto public transport. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will adapt to your growing family and can be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to be seated side-by-side.

The suspension is excellent for rough surfaces, and its height-adjustable handle makes steering easy. It's ideal for older children since the seat is elevated in stadium style. This provides them with a better view of the action. It's not as light as other models on this list but it's a great option.

You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's essential to choose one that is at ease to push. Find a handle that's comfortable and well-shaped to fit your height, as well as an ample basket that has many pockets and compartments. It's also worth looking into how it's easy to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some amazing new double buggies available that allow you to travel with two kids much more enjoyable. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can accommodate twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both car seats facing forward or backward and even a third seat with the 'piggyback' board (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension make it easy to manoeuvre around town and over rough terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that is extremely light and has a compact footprint. They can be easily put away with the seats attached. They require more effort to push over kerbs and can be tricky on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can accommodate both carrycots and seats in tandem mode but can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its clever frame that expands widthways and a height adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with only one hand.

If you plan on using public transportation frequently it is advisable to consider a stroller double buggy with large wheels. They are more designed for rough or uneven surfaces. Additionally, take note of the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the width when folded to determine whether your car is capable of accommodating it. If you reside in a small town or village with narrow pavements, opt for a double pram stroller buggy that has the child sits behind the other, instead of directly in front of them, since this makes it easier to navigate narrow spaces.

Storage is plentiful and readily available

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they can make life easier for families with toddlers and infants. Look into the side-byside buggies for an easy-to-drive, lightweight model. These have a large basket underneath as well as side and rear pockets to store all the essentials for your baby. Many models have adjustable handles that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of different heights. They also fold neatly to a compact form making them ideal to use in tight spaces or in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are a excellent option for those looking for a more robust model. These tend to be twin and are more difficult to maneuver however, they're usually equipped with a reclining seat designed for newborns and older babies and are a good option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some even allow you to transform the buggy into running jogger, making them ideal for running and exercise.

Many of the best double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, seats and car seats. This makes them a great option for families with twins or siblings that are close in age, however, it's important to check the specs of any model you're thinking about to ensure it's a good fit for your needs.

There are two primary types of double buggy: twin, where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem where one seat is in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main advantage that your children can be together instead of fighting over who gets to sit in front. Twin buggy can be larger and more difficult to maneuver through doorways and aisles in the supermarket.

Tandem buggies tend to be a bit shorter however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable and could require dismantling in order to fit in your car boot. Independent seat recline is now a fairly standard feature on a lot of double travel stroller buggies, so ensure that your model can be adjusted by each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A quality double buggy will give both parents and children plenty of comfort. Examine the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline each seat can achieve. Also, make sure that the seats can be adjusted separately so you can adjust the seat to your child's size. Be sure to check the weight limit, and if both have a hood or sun canopy that protects from rain and wind.

If you're looking for a versatile alternative to a double pushchair then consider a baby carrier. They're great for toddlers who want to walk but need an extra ride. They're also ideal for newborns and babies. Some carriers can be used with a car seat for even more flexibility.

Some parents find that a side by side double buggy is the most practical option. However, there are some innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the thinnest double buggy side by side (this page) on the market.

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another smart choice that gives you more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It's initially a mono pushchair and then you can add a second seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame with adaptors, giving you the option of a variety of seating arrangements. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was to fold. It is as simple as pulling up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and you can collapse the entire thing in a matter of minutes.
