10 Tips To Know About Double Buggy
A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids

A double buggy is essential for families with two kids. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails easily while keeping your children safe and happy.

There are many things to consider when choosing a double buggy. Firstly, check that it can fit through your door and into the car boot when folded.

Lightweight

The prospect of bringing a second child home is an exciting possibility, but there are also lots of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a second child to the family can mean rearranging living spaces, rethinking vehicle seats, and investing in a double buggy.

There are plenty of great options available depending on whether you're looking to purchase twins or just want something that is narrow. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that other brands will charge extra for. It also folds extremely neatly to take up less space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to move. However, it could be a bit long when you're in double mode.

The side-by-side buggies are great to keep children in a single space, but they can be a bit wider than one stroller. This can make it difficult to move between kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same as a single pushchair. It is easy to maneuver through doors and into public transport. It's compatible with many car seats, and can expand with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy once your children are old enough to sit together.

The height-adjustable handle is great for steering, and the suspension can take care of slick surfaces. It's a great choice for older kids because the seat is elevated in a stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight than other models, but it's still an excellent choice.

It's crucial to select the right double buggy that is easy to push. Choose a handle that is well-padded and shaped to match your height, as well as a spacious basket with plenty of pockets and compartments. It's also worth assessing how it's easy to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to maneuver

There are some fantastic new double buggies available that make getting out and about with two kids much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can fit twins or one baby and a toddler with both car seats facing forward or backwards. It can also accommodate a third child with a piggyback' board (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame, swivel front wheels and suspension ensure it's easy to maneuver through town and on rough terrain.


Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a smaller footprint, which makes them easy to fit through doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with the seats still attached. They do require more effort to push them over kerbs, and they can be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can be used with both carseats or 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 making it simple to steer with just one hand.

If you plan on using public transport frequently it is advisable to think about a double buggy with large wheels. They are more for 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 an area with narrow streets, you should consider a double stroller that has the child is seated behind their partner instead of sitting in front of them. This will make it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces.

Plenty of storage

A double buggy isn't necessary for every family but it can make outings easier for those with toddlers and newborns. If you're looking to purchase a light model that is easy to steer take a look at the variety of double buggies that are side-by-side.

Many of the top double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of combinations of seats, carrycots, and car seats. This makes them an excellent option for families with twins or siblings that are similar in age, but it's worth looking over the specifications of any model you're considering to make sure it will fit your requirements.

There are two kinds of double buggy which are tandem and twin. In tandem the seat is placed behind the other. The main advantage of twin buggy is that your children can interact without having to take turns or fight over who gets the best place. Twin buggy can be larger and can be more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways in the supermarket.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly shorter, but they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable and could require dismantling in order to fit in the car boot. The majority of double buggies feature recline for the seat independently that is nowadays an option that is standard. Make sure your chosen model can be adjusted by the child's seat to a position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was fold. Simply pull up on the two straps (one under each seat) and then you can fold the whole thing in just a few seconds.
