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

A double stroller with bassinet buggy is a must-have for families with two kids. It will enable you to navigate urban pathways and off-road trails without difficulty while making sure that your children are comfortable and happy.

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

Lightweight

It's exciting to bring the second child home but there are a number of practical considerations. The addition of a child to the family will require reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, investing in a new double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or just require something smaller, there are lots of options available that are available. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a number of accessories that rival brands will charge additional fees for. It folds in a neat way to make it easier to store in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to manoeuvre. However, it could feel a little long when you're in double mode.

Side-byside buggies can be fantastic for keeping your children together however they are generally larger than a single buggy which makes them difficult to navigate 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 a single pushchair. It is easy to get through doors and into public transport. It is compatible with many car seats, and can grow with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy after your children are old enough to be seated together.

The adjustable height handle is great for steering, and the suspension can take care of rough surfaces. It's great for older children, as the seat is elevated stadium style. This gives them a better perspective of the action. It's not quite as light as other models, but it's still an excellent choice.

You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's crucial to choose an item that is easy to push. Choose a handle that has a cushioned grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket with 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 incredible double pram pushchair buggies on the market that make going out and about with two kids much easier. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can accommodate twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both car seats facing either backward or forward and even a third seat with a 'piggyback board' (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame with swivel front wheels, swivel rear wheels and suspension make it easy to manoeuvre 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 compact footprint, making them easy to slide through doors and on public transport, and you can usually store them with seats still attached. However, they require some muscle to push over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode using both seats/carrycots and can be used to push one buggy. Its innovative frame expands widthways.

If you intend to travel by public transport a lot, consider whether you'll require a double buggy with big wheels, as they are able to cope better with uneven or rough surfaces. Find out how easy it is 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 car. If you live in a small village or town with narrow roads, you should consider a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other instead of sitting directly in front of them, since this makes it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Storage is readily available

A double buggy isn't essential for every family, but it makes outings more manageable for those with toddlers and newborns. If you're looking for a light model that's easy to maneuver take a look at the variety of side-by-side double buggies. They have a large storage basket underneath and a rear and side pockets that can be used to store the essentials for your baby. Some models have handles that are adjustable that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of different heights. They can also fold to a compact form, making them ideal for use in small spaces or in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are a good option if you're looking for a stronger model. They are typically twins and are more difficult to maneuver, but often have a reclining seat that is great for toddlers and infants. They're an excellent choice for those who love the outdoors and active family members. Some models can be transformed into joggers, which makes them ideal for running or exercise.

A lot of the top double buggies are designed to accommodate a variety of combinations of seats, carrycots, and car seats. This makes them a great option for families with twins or children who are close in age, but it's worth checking the specifications of any model you're considering to make sure it's a good fit for your needs.

There are two main kinds of double buggy - twin, where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem, with one seat in front of the other. A twin buggy has one main benefit that your children are able to be together instead of fighting over who sits in front. Twin buggys can be wider and make it more difficult to maneuver through doorways and aisles at the grocery store.

Tandem buggies are usually a little shorter than single buggies, but are nevertheless longer. They're also less stable when going up kerbs and may need dismantling to fit in your car boot. The majority of double buggies feature recline that is independent, which is now a standard feature. Make sure that the model has the ability to adjust the child's seat to a position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A good double pram stroller buggy should offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Examine the padding on the straps as well as the amount of recline each seat can achieve. Also, verify if the seats can be adjusted independently so that you can adjust the seat to your child's size. Make sure you know the weight limit and whether both have a hood or sun canopy to shield from wind and rain.

Consider the use of a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They are great for toddlers that want to walk but need the comfort of a ride. They are also great for newborns and babies. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with the car seat for greater flexibility.

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

The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another clever choice that offers more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's initially a mono pushchair and then you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third) to the frame using adaptors, which gives you the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was to fold. Simply pull up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and then you can fold the entire thing in a matter of minutes.

The purchase of a double buggy is an investment however, you'll be able to keep it for a long time and also enjoy a decent resale value. When comparing prices, remember that it's best to buy a brand-name model as this will help you to secure extra accessories and upgrades in the future. For example, some of our top-rated double buggies come with a handy changing Bag and Carrier included in the cost. This is an essential item that will help you save time and stress on the day you need to travel with your kids.
