A
thule double stroller Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids
A double buggy will be a necessity for families with more than one child. It will enable you to navigate urban roads and off-road trails with ease whilst keeping your kids safe and content.
When you are choosing a double stroller, there are a lot of aspects to take into consideration. Make sure it fits through the car boot and your doorway when folded.
Lightweight
Bringing home a second child is an exciting possibility, but there are a lot of practical aspects to consider. The addition of a new child to the family requires rearranging living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and acquiring a double buggy.
If you're looking to purchase twins or require something smaller, there are lots of excellent options out there. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a range of accessories that rival brands cost extra for and folds very neatly into place to take up little space in your boot. It is easy to move and it rolls well, according to the test subjects. However, it could be a bit long when you're in
nipper double buggy mode.
Side-by-side buggies are ideal to keep children in a single space however they can be slightly larger than the single stroller. This makes it 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 width as a single pushchair. It is easy to get through doors and into public transportation. It is compatible with many car seats, and can expand with your family. It can be used as mono or tandem buggy when your children are old enough to be seated together.
The suspension is excellent for rough surfaces, and its adjustable height handle makes steering simple. It's great for older children since the seat is elevated stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not quite as light as other models, but it's still a great choice.
You'll be pushing your double buggy frequently, so it's important to select an item that is comfortable to push. Look for a handle with a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket that has plenty of pockets and compartments. It's also worth checking how it's simple to fold and store your buggy when you're not using it.
Easy to Manoeuvre
There are some amazing double buggies on the market that make traveling with two children much simpler. The iCandy Orange, for example is a multi-purpose choice that can accommodate twins or one baby and a toddler with both seats/carrycots facing either forwards or backwards. It can also accommodate a third child using piggyback's board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame, swivel front wheels and suspension ensure it's easy to maneuver around town and over rough terrain.
Other side-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 often you can put them away with the seats still attached. However, they require some muscle to push them over kerbs and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode using both carrycots and seats, but it can also be used to push a single buggy. Its clever frame can be expanded width-wise.
If you intend to use public transport often, think about whether you'll require a
Double Push Chair buggy with large wheels since they tend to be more tolerant of rough or uneven surfaces. Find out how easy it is to fold and unfold, as well as the size of the buggy when folded, to determine if it's going to fit into your boot. If you reside in an area that has narrow streets, you should consider a double stroller that has the child is placed behind their partner, instead of in front of them. This makes it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces.
Plenty of storage
A double buggy isn't essential for every family but it can make outings easier for families with toddlers and newborns. Look into the side-byside buggies if you're looking for a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. They come with a large basket underneath as well as side and rear pockets to store all the essentials for your baby. Some models have handles that are adjustable that can be adjusted to suit parents of different heights. They also fold neatly to a compact size, making them ideal to use in tight spaces or in the boot.
All-terrain double buggys are a great option if you're looking for a more robust model. These are usually twins and more difficult to maneuver, but they often come with a reclined seat that is great for toddlers and babies. They're a great option for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Certain models can be converted into joggers, making them perfect for running or exercising.
Many of the best double buggies are able to accommodate a wide range of combinations of seats, carrycots and car seats. This makes them a great option for families with twins or siblings who are close in age, however, it's important to check the specifications of any model you're thinking about to ensure it's a good fit for your needs.
There are two types of double buggys: tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed behind the other. The primary benefit of twin buggy is that your children will be able to interact, rather than having to switch places or fight over who gets the best spot. Twin buggys can be wider and more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways at the supermarket.
Tandem buggies are generally smaller than single buggies, but are nonetheless longer. They're also less stable when bouncing up kerbs and may need dismantling in order to fit into the car boot. Most double buggies have independent seat recline, which is nowadays a standard feature. Be sure that the model has the ability to adjust 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. Be sure to look for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can achieve and if the seats are independently adjustable to allow you to adjust to your child's needs as they develop. Make sure you know the weight limit and if they both have a hood or sun canopy to shield from rain and wind.
If you're looking for a versatile alternative to a double pushchair then you should consider a baby carriage. They are ideal for toddlers who wish to walk, but still require an extra ride. They are also great for babies and newborns. Some carriers can also be used with a car seat for children, giving you more flexibility.
Some parents feel that a side by side double buggy is the most practical option. However there are a few innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone. It is the thinnest double buggy side by side available on the market.
The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another smart choice. They provide more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It starts as a mono-pushchair, and you can then add a second or carrycot to the frame using adaptors. This provides you with the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to navigate, has a fantastic suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was to fold. You just pull up on the two straps (one under each seat) and then you can fold the whole thing in minutes.
A double buggy is an investment, but you'll be able to use it for years and will also get a decent resale value. When comparing prices, keep in mind that it's best to buy an item from a reputable brand, as it will allow you to get more accessories and upgrades in the future. For example, some of our top-rated double buggies come with a convenient Changing Bag and Carrier included in the price.
