“The Ultimate Cheat Sheet” For Double Buggy
A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids 
 
A double buggy is an essential item for families with two children. It can help you navigate through urban areas and off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your kids safe and happy. 
 
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double buggy. Firstly, check that it will fit through your door and into your car boot when folded. 
 
Lightweight 
 
Bringing home a second baby is a thrilling prospect, but there are a lot 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, buying a new double buggy. 
 
There are many great alternatives available regardless of whether you’re looking for twins or simply need something a bit smaller. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that other brands cost extra for and folds very neatly into place to occupy a tiny space in your boot. It is simple to maneuver and moves well, as per testers. However, it may feel a little long when you’re in double mode. 
 
The side-by-side buggies are great for keeping kids together but they are somewhat larger than a single stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market though and, at just 63cm wide it’s the same width as one pushchair. This makes it easy to fit through doorways and on public transport. It is compatible with many car seats, and can expand with your family. You can use it as mono or tandem buggy after your children are old enough to be seated together. 
 
The height-adjustable handle is ideal for steering and the suspension is able to make light work of rough surfaces. It’s an excellent choice for older kids, as it has a seat elevated stadium style to give them an even better view of the action. It’s not as light as other models, but it’s still an excellent choice. 
 
You’ll be pushing your double buggy often so it’s important to select an item that is comfortable to push. Look for a handle with padding and a grip made to fit your height. Also, a large basket that has plenty of pockets and compartments. If you’re not using your buggy, you should consider considering how easily it folds up and put away. 
 
Easy to manoeuvre 
 
There are some fantastic new double buggies that allow two children to travel much more convenient. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with both car seats facing either backward or forward and even a third one with a ‘piggyback board’ (sold separately). Its sleek frame, light frame with swivel wheels and suspension make it easy to maneuver in the city and over rough terrain. 
 
Other models that are side-by-side, such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a smaller footprint so they’re easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with the seats still attached. They require more effort to push them over kerbs and aren’t ideal for uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem mode, but it can also be used as a single stroller thanks to its clever frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with only one hand. 
 
If you are planning to use public transport frequently, you may want to think about a double buggy with large wheels. These are better suited to rough or uneven surfaces. Similarly, check how easy it is to fold and unfold the buggy and how wide it is when folded to determine whether your vehicle is enough to hold it. If you reside in an area with narrow streets, consider a double stroller that has the child sits behind their partner, instead of behind them. This will make it easier to maneuver through tight spaces. 
 
Storage is readily available 
 
A double buggy isn’t a necessity for all families, but it can make outings easier for families with toddlers and newborns. Take a look at the side-by-side buggies if you’re looking for an easy-to-drive, lightweight model. They provide plenty of space underneath in the form of a deep basket as well as rear and side pockets to store all the baby necessities. A lot of models come with handles that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of different heights. They also fold 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, consider one of the all-terrain models. They are typically twins, and are more difficult to maneuver, however they usually have a reclining seat that is great for babies and toddlers. They are a great choice for active family members. Some models can be transformed into joggers, which makes them ideal for running or exercising. 
 
A lot of the top double buggies are able to accommodate a variety of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats. This makes them a great 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 make sure it’s suitable for your needs. 
 
There are two kinds of double buggys that are tandem and twin. In tandem the seats are placed behind the other. The primary benefit of twin buggy is that your children can interact without having to rotate or fight over who gets the best spot. However, twins tend to be larger and may be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles. 
 
Tandem buggies are usually a bit shorter however they’re still more than single models. They’re also less stable when going up kerbs and might require dismantling in order to fit into your car’s boot. Recline-based seats are now a fairly standard feature on a lot of double buggies, so do make sure that your chosen model can be adjusted by 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. Look out for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat can achieve and if the seats are adjustable independently to allow you to adjust to your child’s needs as they grow. Be sure to check the weight limits and if they have a sun canopy as well as an hood to protect your children from rain and wind. 
 
 
Consider a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are ideal for toddlers who wish to walk, but still require the comfort of a ride. They’re also ideal for infants and newborns. Some carriers can also be used with a car seat for children, giving you even more flexibility. 
 
Some parents find that a side by side double buggy is the best 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 available on the market. 
 
The Wave from Mamas & Papas is another smart choice that gives you more configuration options than most other tandem buggies. It is a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a second or carrycot to the frame by using adaptors. This offers a variety of seating options. It is easy to steer, has a great suspension and Lab experts loved how easy it was to fold. You just pull up on the two straps (one under each seat) and then you can fold the entire thing in just a few minutes. 
 
Double buggys are a good investment that will last for many years. They also offer a reasonable resales cost. When making comparisons it is important to keep in mind that buying a brand name model will let you acquire additional accessories and upgrades later on. For instance, many of our top-rated double buggies come with a convenient Changing Bag and Carrier included in the cost. This is a must-have accessory that’ll save you time and stress on the day you need to travel with your children.
