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

A double buggy is a must-have for families with two children. It will enable you to navigate urban pathways and off-road trails with ease while keeping your kids safe and content.

There are many things to think about when choosing a double buggy. First, ensure that it will fit through your doorway and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second baby is a thrilling prospect, but there are plenty of practical issues to be considered. The addition of a child to the family will require changing the layout of living spaces, thinking about car seats and, of course, purchasing a new double buggy.

There are a variety of options to choose from, whether you're looking for twins or want something narrow. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that other brands cost extra for and can fold up very well to take up little space in your boot. Testers find it rolls well and is easy to move. It may feel a little long when in strollers double strollers mode.

Side-by-side buggies can be great for keeping your children together but they tend to be wider than a single buggy which makes them difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the tiniest side-by-side on market and, at just 63cm wide, it's the same as the single pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and public transportation. It is compatible with many car seats, and it can expand with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy after your children are old enough to be seated together.

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

You'll be pushing your double buggy a lot so it's important to choose an item that is comfortable to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is made to fit your height. Also, a large basket with lots of pockets and compartments. When you're not using your buggy, you should consider taking a look at how it folds and can be stored.

It can also accommodate a third child with a piggyback' board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame with swivel wheels and suspension make it easy to move in the city and over rougher terrain.

Other side by side double stroller-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a smaller footprint so they're easy to slide through doors and on public transport, and you can usually store them with seats still in place. However, they require a bit more muscle to get over kerbs, and can be more challenging on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another great choice as it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its clever frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you intend to use public transportation frequently, you may want to consider a double-buggy that has big wheels. These are better for rough or uneven surfaces. Additionally, take note of the ease with which you can fold and unfold the buggy, as well as how wide it is when folded to determine if your boot will be able to accommodate it. If you live in a small village or town with narrow pavements, opt for a tandem double buggy where the child sits behind the other instead of sitting directly in front of them, since this makes it easier for them to navigate tight spaces.

The main advantage of a twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate instead of having to rotate or argue over who gets the best seat. However, twins tend to be wider and can be tricky to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller than single models, but are nonetheless longer. They're also less stable when bumping up kerbs and may need dismantling in order to fit into your car boot. Most double buggies have independent seat recline that is nowadays a standard feature. Be sure that the model can be adjusted by the child's seat to a position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

Double buggys that are comfortable for both parents and children are the most comfortable. Look out for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat can do and whether the seats are adjustable independently so you can adapt to your child's needs as they grow. Also, check the weight limit and whether both have a sun canopy or an hood to protect them from wind and rain.
