10 Things You Learned In Kindergarden That Will Help You With Double Buggy

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

A double buggy will be essential for families with more than one child. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children safe and happy.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a double buggy. Check that it can fit into your car boot and doorway when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to welcome the second child home, but there are many practical issues to be considered. The addition of a new child to the family can mean redesigning living spaces, rethinking vehicle seats, and investing in an extra buggy.

There are many great alternatives available regardless of whether you're looking for twins or just need something a bit smaller. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that competitors will charge extra for. It also folds up in a neat way to take up less space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is a breeze to manoeuvre. However, it can feel a little long when you're using it in double mode.

The side-by-side buggies are great for keeping children together however they can be slightly larger than a single stroller. This can make it difficult to move through kerbs and up and down. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm wide, is the slimmest on the market. It is easy to pass through doors and onto public transportation. It is compatible with a variety of car seats, and can grow with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to sit together.

The suspension is ideal for rough surfaces, and its adjustable height makes steering a breeze. It's a great choice for older kids since the seat is elevated stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, however it's still a great choice.

You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's essential to look for an item that is comfortable to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is designed to fit your height. Also, a large basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. It's also worth looking into how it's simple to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to maneuver

There are some fantastic new double buggies that make traveling with two kids much easier. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both carrycots or seats facing forward or backward and even a third one with the 'piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light frame, swivel wheels, and suspension allow it to be easily moved through the city and on rough terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that's incredibly light and has a small footprint. They can be easily put away with the seats attached. However, they require a bit more muscle to push them over kerbs and can be trickier on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem, 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 just one hand.

If you plan to use public transportation frequently, think about whether you'll require a double buggy with large wheels, as they are able to cope better with uneven or rough surfaces. Check how easy it is to fold and unfold, and also the length of the buggy when folded, to determine if it can fit in your car. If you reside in a small town or village and have narrow roads, you should consider a  double buggy  that has the child sits behind the other instead of next to them, as this makes it easier for them to navigate narrow spaces.

Lots of storage

A double buggy isn't a necessity for every family but it can make outings more manageable for those with toddlers or newborns. If you're looking for a lightweight model that's easy to maneuver look into the selection of side-by-side double buggies. They have a large storage basket under and a rear and side pockets to store all your baby's essentials. Some models have handles that are adjustable that can be adjusted to suit parents of different heights. They fold up neatly to a compact size which makes them perfect for use in small spaces or in the boot.

If you're looking for a more robust double buggy, try one of the all-terrain options. These tend to be twin and can be more difficult to maneuver but they're often equipped with a reclining seat for infants and older children, and are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Some of them permit you to convert the buggy into a jogger, making them ideal for exercise and running.

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

There are two primary types of double buggy: twin which is where your children are side-by-side, and tandem where one seat is placed in front of the other. The primary benefit of a twin buggy is that your children will be able to interact, rather than having to rotate or fight over who gets the best place. However, twin buggys tend to be larger and can be difficult to navigate through the supermarket's doorways and aisles.

Tandem buggies tend to be slightly shorter than single buggies, however they are nonetheless longer. They're also less stable and could require dismantling to fit in your car boot. Recline-based seats are now a fairly standard feature on the majority of double buggies, so do make sure that your chosen model will let you adjust 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. Make sure you check the padding of the straps and the amount of recline that each seat can achieve. Also, make sure that the seats can be adjusted independently so that you can adapt to your child's needs. Also, check the weight limit and whether both have a sun canopy or a hood to shield them from wind and rain.

Consider using a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They can be used for toddlers who want to walk but need to ride in a car, and they are also ideal for newborns and infants. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat for even greater flexibility.

Many parents find a side-by-side double buggy to be the most convenient to navigate, however there are some truly innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone which is amazingly slim and is the tiniest double buggy with a side-by-side layout available (it's the same width as a single stroller).

The Wave tandem buggies made by Mamas & Papas are another excellent choice. They offer more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's initially an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add an additional seat or carrycot (and sometimes, a third) to the frame using adaptors, giving you the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was 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.

Double buggys are an investment that will last for many years. They also come with a decent resale price. When comparing prices, remember that it is best to purchase an item from a reputable brand, as it will help you to secure 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 cost. This is an essential accessory that will save you time and effort on the day you need to travel with your children.
