Buying a Twin Buggy

The Out n About Nipper Double is small enough to pass through many doorways, and takes up less space when parked. Make sure you have an independent recline for the seat and an impressive suspension to take on difficult terrain.

Comfort

If you're planning on taking twins on adventures, you need a twin buggy that provides plenty of comfort. You can select one with adjustable calfrests to ensure your baby is comfy, as well as a sun canopy that extends and a huge storage basket. Many manufacturers offer additional features such as cup holders or rain covers so that you have everything you need for your family outings.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the width of your buggy. There are some slimmer twins that fit through doors that are standard however, you'll need to measure them and consult the manufacturer before purchasing. You'll also have to alter your seating arrangement when you have twins who are different age groups or with different requirements.

The multi-award winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy with extreme versatility, perfect for siblings of different age or twins. It comes in 17 different configurations and can be used as a travel system when combined with an infant carrier compatible with the car seat. The unique frame expands in width, not height. This makes it one of the slimmest side-by-side options.

This model features two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth. They can be adapted to fit an infant carrycot or a cosido facing the parents and allowing them to monitor their children at all times. The seats can be adjusted separately to allow you to determine the ideal position for your child. The large UPF50+ canopy with a magnetic peekaboo window and adjustable calf supports offers protection from the elements.

The Graco Voyager is a budget-friendly inline twin buggy from birth buggy that's ideal for toddlers and children up to three years old. Its seats can recline in a variety of positions and the front wheel suspension provides it a smooth ride over all surfaces. Our Lab experts loved the way it folded: simply pull up a strap on each seat to fold it down in minutes.

Safety

The most reliable twin buggies have a suspension that can handle grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some even come with two front wheels to provide extra stability when traversing rough roads or bumpy terrain. You can look for features like an auto-stop feature that will stop the buggy when you release its handlebar. This allows you to stop it before it rolls. Check the weight limit of a double buggy if you want to take your kids on a run or walk. Also, you should test the seat recline to ensure that your children are comfortable on long runs or walks.

There are many kinds of twin buggies such as tandem, side-byside, and one-seat. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins or siblings very close in age as they allow both of them to sit together to communicate and chat during strolls. This type of twin buggy can be more compact than other types that makes them more convenient to maneuver and pass through doors. They might be heavier, have a larger footprint and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.

Tandem buggys are more likely be double travel system models, with the ability to attach two carseats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be enlarged to hold two of the same baby car seat in rear-facing mode. They could be narrower and longer than twin buggies that sit and stand double stroller side-by-side, but they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

The one-seat models are generally narrower and take up less space on the pavement than other double buggy types. They are an excellent choice for siblings and twins who want to be seated together without disturbing each other by fighting or pulling each hair. Some models are designed to be separate in their seat recline and your kids can rest comfortably without kicking each one.

Convenience

If your kids would like to take their favorite dolls or teddies for an adventure with them, they can do it easily by using a twin buggy. Many models come with seats that let two kids sit together so they can interact. Some even come with a foldable basket for storing everything.

There are twin buggies that are available in various price ranges. However, it is worth spending a bit more to get a model that is user-friendly and will grow along with your family. The Joie Evalite Duo, for example, is a great option. It can be purchased online for about 200 dollars. The back seat is flat for a newborn and upright for toddlers. The design is user-friendly, with just one hand to fold and easy unfold. It is easy to roll and suspension makes it easy to work with kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 is another highly versatile option, featuring 30 seating configurations, including twins, a child, a toddler or three kids with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which you can buy separately for around PS120). The small chassis measures 73cm in double mode and can be accessed through the majority of doors. It can also be wheeled around your home without taking much space. It has big canopy options to provide exceptional protection from sun and rain, plus peekaboo hoods so you can monitor your children at all times.

There are also twin pushchairs that have been made with convenience at the forefront, like the Gazelle S Luxury which lets you reduce time by folding it with both seats firmly attached. It is possible to wheel the stroller straight out of the front door. This is particularly helpful for parents with babies. It's still necessary to take off the lower seat and this can be done in about a minute and the whole item folds neatly lying upright. Its slim frame is also less bulky than other double buggies and is light too.

Design

If you're looking for twins or siblings who are similar in age, there are many designs to choose from. Some single prams can transform into a twin buggy with an easy conversion, while others are designed as twin buggies right from the start. Regardless of the design you're seeking, the most important factor is to find one that suits your family's requirements and lifestyle.

Most twin buggies are tandem or side-by-side, which allows children to be seated next to one another or behind. Side-by-side models are slimmer, easier to maneuver and are suitable for children of all ages. Tandems may not fit in smaller car boot spaces, but they allow children to be involved.

Many twin buggies have a variety of features that parents love. You should look for safety harnesses that are adjustable with five points, multiple seat recline choices and a large canopy which can be extended with the hood that peeks out. Some models come with an adult tray with removable changing mats as well as under-seat storage baskets.

The right wheel type and size is an additional crucial factor for your twin buggy. Choose a double stroller with car seat-buggy with all-terrain wheels that can easily navigate mud, gravel and uneven surfaces. Choose a buggy that has a suspension system for more control.

If you're planning on using your twin buggy for long walks, think about an option with a large cargo bag. This will allow you to carry more than just your two children, and will also make it much easier to keep the track of their belongings. Consider adding sun visors, rain cover and shopping trays to your bag.
