What Do You Think? Heck What Is Double Buggy?

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 navigate urban pathways or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children safe and content.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a double buggy. First, ensure that it will fit through your doorway and into the car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to welcome another child into the family, but there are many practical considerations. Addition of a second child to the family requires changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about vehicle seats and purchasing an extra buggy.

If you're looking to purchase twins or require something smaller, there are lots of great options out there. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that other brands cost extra for and is very compact and folds up to take up little space in your boot. It's simple to maneuver and moves well, as per testers. However, it may be a bit long when you're in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies can be great for keeping your children in a single place however they are generally wider than a single buggy, which can make them difficult to navigate up and down 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 one pushchair. It is easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transport. It's compatible with a range of car seats and will adapt to your growing family and can be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are ready to sit side-by-side.

The suspension is great for rough surfaces, and the adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's ideal for older children, as the seat is elevated stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not as light as other models on this list but it's still a nippy option.

It is essential to choose the right double buggy that is comfortable to push. Look for a handle with padding and a grip designed to fit your height. Also, consider a big basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. It's also worth assessing how it's easy to fold and store your buggy when you're not using it.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some amazing new double buggies that make traveling with two children much more convenient. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can accommodate twins or one toddler and a baby with both car seats facing forwards or backwards. It can also accommodate a third kid using a piggyback' board (sold separately). Its light, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension make it easy to maneuver around town and over rough terrain.

Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a compact footprint, which makes them easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport and often you can put them away with the seats still attached. However, they do require a bit more muscle to push them over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem mode but can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its unique frame that expands widthways and a height adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with only one hand.

If you plan to travel by public transport a lot, consider whether you'll require a cheap double stroller buggy with large wheels, as they are able to cope better with uneven or rough surfaces. Similarly, check the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy and the width when folded to determine whether your car is capable of accommodating it. If you reside in a small double stroller town or village and have narrow roads, you should consider a double pram and pushchair buggy that has the child sits behind the other, rather than in front of them, as this will make it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Storage is plentiful and readily available

Double buggies aren't required for every family, but they do help with outings for families with toddlers and infants. If you're looking to purchase a light model that is easy to steer, check out the range of double buggies that are side-by-side. They have a large storage basket under as well as side and rear pockets that can be used to store the necessities for your baby. There are a variety of models with adjustable handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights and fold easily into a compact size ideal for use in tight spaces or to stow away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are good option if you're seeking a more durable model. These are typically twins and can be more difficult to maneuver however, they're usually equipped with a reclining seat for newborns and older infants and are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts as well as active families. Some models can be converted into joggers, which makes them ideal for running or exercise.

A lot of the top double buggies are designed to accommodate a variety of of seats, carrycots, and car seats. They are a great choice for families with twins, or siblings with similar ages. However, it is essential to verify the specifications of any model that you are interested in.

There are two types of double buggy which are tandem and twin. In tandem the seats are placed on top of the other. The primary benefit of twin buggy is that your children will be able to interact instead of having to switch places or fight over who gets the best place. However, twin buggys tend to be wider and can be tricky to navigate through the supermarket's doorways and aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally a bit shorter however, they're still longer than single models. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs, and may require dismantling in order to fit into your car's boot. Reclining the seat independently is nowadays a standard feature on a lot of double buggies. So, ensure that your model will let you adjust each child's seat 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 and the amount of recline that each seat can attain. Also, verify if the seats can be adjusted independently to allow you to adjust to your child's needs. Check the weight limit, and if each has a hood, or sun canopy to shield from rain and wind.

Consider a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They are ideal for toddlers who want to walk, but still need an extra ride. They are also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used with a car seat for even greater flexibility.

Some parents feel that a side by side double buggy is the most practical option. However there are some new models available, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the tiniest double buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It starts out as an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third one) to the frame with adaptors, giving you the option of a variety of seating arrangements. It's easy to steer, has a great suspension, and Lab experts were impressed by the ease with which it is to fold. All you have to do is pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the entire thing folds down in a matter of minutes.

Double buggys are an investment that will last for years. They also offer a reasonable resales cost. When comparing prices, keep in mind that it is best to purchase a brand-name model as this will allow you to acquire extra accessories and upgrades in the future. For instance, many of our top-rated double buggies come with a convenient changing Bag and Carrier included in the price. This is an essential accessory that will save you time, hassle and money when traveling with your baby.
