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

A double push chair buggy will be a necessity for families with more than one child. You can navigate urban pathways or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children safe and happy.

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

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is a thrilling prospect, but there are plenty of practical considerations. The addition of a new child to the family will require redesigning living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and purchasing the double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or just want something narrow there are plenty of great options out there. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that competitors cost extra for and can fold up very well to take up a small amount of space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is easy to move. However, it could be a bit long when you're in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies work well to keep children in a single space, but they can be slightly larger than one stroller. This makes it difficult to move up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market though and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same size as one pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doorways and on public transportation. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will grow with your family - it 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 the height-adjustable handle makes steering easy. It's ideal for older children, as the seat is elevated stadium style. This provides them with a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, however it's still a great option.

It's crucial to select a double buggy that is comfortable to push. Look for a handle with a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. If you're not using your buggy, you should consider taking a look at how it folds up and put away.

Easy to maneuver

There are some fantastic new double buggies that make traveling with two children much simpler. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both car seats facing forward or backward, and even a third seat with piggyback boards (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension makes it easy to maneuver around town and over rougher terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that's incredibly light and has a compact footprint. They can be easily stored with the seats attached. However, they need some muscle to push them over kerbs and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem double stroller mode with both seats/carrycots however, it can also be used to push a single buggy. Its innovative frame expands widthways.

If you are planning to use public transport frequently you might want to consider a double-buggy that has large wheels. They are more for rough or uneven surfaces. Check how easy it will be to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the size of the buggy folded to determine if it's going to fit in your boot. If you live in a small town or village and have narrow streets, consider a tandem double buggy where 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

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they do make outings easier for those with toddlers and infants. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies for an easy-to-steer, lightweight model. These have a large basket underneath and a rear and side pockets that can be used to store your baby's essentials. A lot of models come with handles that can be adjusted to suit parents of different heights. They can also fold to a compact double stroller form, making them ideal for use in small areas or in the boot.

All-terrain double strollers are a good option if you're looking for a stronger model. These tend to be twin and are more difficult to manoeuvre, but they'll often come with a reclined seat for newborns and older infants and are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Certain models can be converted into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercising.

Many of the best double buggies will be able to accommodate a wide range of of carrycots, seats and car seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or children who are similar in age, but it's worth looking over the specifications of any model you're considering to ensure that it's a good fit for your needs.

There are two kinds of double buggy - twin that is where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem where one seat is placed in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main advantage that children can interact instead of fighting over who gets to sit in the front. However, twin strollers for newborns buggys are usually wider and can be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly shorter than single buggies, but are nevertheless longer. They're also less stable when going up kerbs, and may require dismantling in order to fit into your car boot. Independent seat recline is nowadays a standard feature on most double buggies, so do ensure that the model will let you adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the most comfortable. Check for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can do and if the seats are independently adjustable so that you can adjust them as your children grow. Be sure to check the weight limits and whether both have a sun canopy as well as a hood to protect the seats from rain and wind.

Consider a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They can be used for toddlers who want to walk but need a ride on board and they're also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be paired with a car seat to give greater flexibility.

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

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another clever option that provides more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It's initially an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, 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 options. It's smooth to steer and has a great suspension, and Lab experts really liked the ease with which it is to fold. All you have to do is pull the straps up (one under each seat) and the entire unit folds in just a few seconds.

Buying a double buggy is a big investment, however, you'll be able to make use of it for many years and will also get a decent resale value. When looking at prices it is important to keep in mind that buying a name brand model will allow you to get extra accessories and upgrades later. For instance, a few of our top-rated double buggies come with a handy Changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is a must-have accessory that will save you time and hassle when you have to travel with your kids.
