A double buggy that converts to single Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids

A double buggy is essential for families with two kids. It will enable you to navigate through urban areas and off road trails with ease while keeping your kids safe and happy.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a double buggy. Firstly, check that it can pass through your door and into your car boot when folded.

Lightweight

It's exciting to welcome the second child home, but there are many practical aspects to consider. Addition of a second child to the family requires redesigning living spaces, rethinking the seating arrangements in vehicles and acquiring a double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or need something a little more compact, there are lots of great options out there. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that rival brands cost extra for. It folds very neatly into place to take up a small amount of space in your boot. It's easy to move and it rolls well, according to users. However, it may be a bit long when you're using it in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are ideal to keep children in a single space, but they can be slightly larger than the single stroller. This can make it difficult to navigate up and down kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and at just 63cm wide, it's the same width as a single pushchair. This allows it to be easily pushed through doors and on public transport. It's compatible with many car seats, and it can expand with your family. You can use it as a mono or tandem buggy once your children are old enough to be seated together.

The height-adjustable handle is ideal for steering, and the suspension makes light work of slick surfaces. It's an excellent choice for older children, since it comes with a seat that's elevated to give them an even better view 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 frequently, so it's important to choose an item that is at ease to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is shaped to your height. Also, consider a big basket that has plenty of compartments and pockets. If you're not using your buggy, it's worth checking how easily it folds up and put away.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are some fantastic double buggies on the market that make traveling with two children much simpler. For instance, the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both car seats facing either backward or forward and even a third one with piggyback boards (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension ensure it's easy to maneuver around town and over rough terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that is extremely lightweight and has a tiny footprint. They can be easily put away with the seats attached. They do require more effort to push them over kerbs, and can be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another ideal option since it can take both seats/carrycots in tandem, but can also be used as a single buggy thanks to its unique frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height adjustable handle making it really easy to steer with only one hand.

If you plan to travel by public transport often, think about whether you're going to need a double buggy with large wheels as these tend to perform better on rough or uneven surfaces. Consider the ease to fold and unfold, as well as the width of the buggy when folded, to determine if it's going to fit in your boot. If you live in an area with narrow streets, consider a double travel stroller stroller that has the child is placed behind their partner, instead of sitting in front of them. This will make it easier to maneuver through tight spaces.

Lots of storage

Double buggies aren't necessary for every family, but they can help with outings for families with infants and toddlers. If you're looking for a light model that is easy to steer, check out the range of side-by-side double buggies. They provide plenty of space under in the form of a large basket and additional rear and side pockets for all the baby necessities. There are many models that feature adjustable handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights and fold up neatly into a compact shape that is suitable to be used in tight spaces or to store away in the boot.

All-terrain double buggys are great option if you're looking for a more robust model. These are typically twins and are more difficult to maneuver however, they're usually equipped with a reclining seat designed for newborns and older infants and are a good option for outdoor enthusiasts and active families. Some models can be transformed into joggers, which makes them ideal for running or exercise.

Many of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a variety of combinations of seats, carrycots, and car seats. They are an excellent choice for families with twins or siblings of similar age. However, it is essential to verify the specifications of any model you're considering.

There are two kinds of double buggy that are tandem double stroller and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed in front of the next. The main advantage of twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate without having to switch places or fight over who has the top spot. Twin buggys are often wider and can be more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways at the supermarket.

Tandem buggies tend to be slightly shorter than single buggies, however they are still longer. They're also less stable when bouncing up kerbs, and may require dismantling in order to fit into your car boot. Reclining the seat independently is nowadays a standard feature on the majority of double buggies. So, ensure that the model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A quality double buggy will offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Check the padding on the straps and the amount of recline that each seat is able to achieve. Also, check if the seats can be adjusted separately so that you can adapt them to your child's growth. Be sure to check the weight limit and if 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 think about a baby carrier. They can be used for toddlers who would like to walk but need a ride on board and they are also ideal for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a car seat for even greater flexibility.

Many parents consider a side-by-side double buggy the most comfortable to navigate, but there are also some innovative models out there like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in herringbone, that is incredibly thin and is the lightest side-by-side double buggy on the market (it's the same size as a single stroller).

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another good option. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's a single-pushchair, and you can then add a carrycot or a second one to the frame with adaptors. This offers the option of a variety of seating options. It is easy to control, has an excellent suspension and Lab experts were amazed by how simple it was fold. It is as simple as pulling up on the two straps (one underneath each seat) and you can collapse the entire thing in just a few minutes.

A double buggy is an investment however, you'll be able to make use of it for many years and also have a decent resale value. When looking at prices, it's important to remember that purchasing a reputable model will let you get extra accessories and upgrades later on. For instance, a few of our top-rated double stroller for twins buggies come with an easy changing Bag and Carrier included in the cost. This is an essential accessory that will save you time and effort when you have to travel with your kids.
