Buying a Twin Buggy

This collection of double buggies and prams are ideal for parents with twins or children of similar ages. Tandem models offer greater maneuverability on public transportation and in smaller spaces.

The Out n About Nipper Double is slim enough to fit through many doors, and takes up less space when parked. For terrain that is tough, look for independent seat recliner and suspension that can take on the terrain.

Comfort

You will require a twin stroller that is comfortable when you plan to take twins out. You can select one with adjustable calfrests to ensure your baby is comfortable, and an extended sun canopy and a huge storage basket. Many manufacturers also offer an array of accessories to ensure you have everything you need for your family outings, including cups and rain covers.

The size of your buggy is an important factor to consider. While there are some smaller twin models that will fit through standard doorways but you'll have to measure and verify with the manufacturer before buying. Keep in mind that the twins you have are of different ages and have different needs, you'll need to adjust the seating arrangement frequently.

The multi-award-winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy that offers an incredible range of options, which is ideal for siblings of varying age groups or twins. With 17 different configurations to pick from it can be used with a car seat or compatible infant carrier as a travel system. The clever frame expands widthways rather than height, making it one of the slimmer side-by-side options available with only 73cm of space in cheap double stroller mode, which is around the same size as a single pram when in use.

This model also features two seats that are world-facing for babies from birth. They can be modified to accommodate cosido or a parent-facing carrycot to let parents monitor both of their newborns at all times. The seats can be adjusted independently so that you can determine the ideal position for your child. The large UPF50+ canopy with a magnetic peekaboo window and adjustable calf support provides protection from the elements.

The Graco Voyager inline twin buggy is a budget-friendly choice for toddlers and children up to age three. Its seats can be reclined in various positions, and the front wheel suspension provides it a smooth ride on the majority of surfaces. Our Lab experts were impressed by the folding method when you pull up on the strap on each seat, and you'll have it folded in a matter of seconds without having to remove them first.

Safety

The best twin buggies come with a suspension that can handle grass, gravel paths, and kerbs. Some have two front wheels for extra stability on bumpy roads or in rough terrain. Be sure to look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy when you pull off the handlebar, so that you can stop the vehicle before it goes away. If you're looking for a double buggy that can take your children on a run or walk you should check the weight limit. It's also recommended to test the recline of your seat to ensure that your kids will be comfortable during long walks or jogs.

There are several types of twin buggies available - side-by-side, tandem and one-seat. Side-by-side models are perfect for siblings who are close in age because they provide space for both of them to sit together to interact and talk during strolls. This type of twin buggy may be smaller than other models, which makes them easier to maneuver and pass through doors. However, they may be heavier and have a wider footprint than single buggies. This makes them feel less stable climbing up the kerbs.

Tandem buggys are more likely to be double travel systems models, which allow you to connect two carseats or carrycots at the same time. Certain models can be expanded to hold two of the same baby car seat in rear-facing mode. They may be smaller and longer than twin buggies that are side-by-side. However, they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

The one-seat models are generally smaller and take up less space on the road than other double buggy types. They are an excellent choice for twins or siblings who want to share a seat without the need to wake each other up by fighting or pulling one other's hair. Some models have independent recline positions, so your children can sleep comfortably without kicking each other.

Convenience

If your kids are looking to take their favorite dolls or teddies on an adventure with them, you can easily do so with a twin buggy. Many models have seats where two children can sit side-by-side so they can interact together and some have a handy foldable carry basket to keep everything in.

There are twin buggies that are available in various price ranges. However, it is worth paying a little more to get a model which is easy to use and will grow along with your family. The Joie Evalite Duo, for instance, is a fantastic option. It can be purchased online for around 200 dollars. Its back seat goes flat for babies and is more upright for toddlers and is suitable from birth. The design is extremely user-friendly with a simple one-handed fold. It rolls well and the suspension makes light work of kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 offers another flexible option. It offers 30 different seating configurations including twins, a child toddlers or three children if you add the UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which can be purchased separately for around PS120). The small double stroller chassis, only 73cm in double mode, ensures it can be tucked away in most doors and can be easily wheeled into your home without taking up too much space. It has large canopies that offer excellent protection from the sun and rain. Additionally, it comes with the hoods that peek out to ensure you are watching your children at all times.

You can also purchase twin pushchairs that are designed with comfort at the forefront, like the Gazelle S Luxury, which allows you to save time by folding it with both seats firmly attached. This allows you to wheel it straight out of the front door, which is beneficial for parents of babies. The lower seat will still require removal, but it's only a few seconds. The entire item can be folded in a neat and upright manner. The slim frame makes it lighter and less bulky than other double buggies.

Design

There are many designs to choose from, whether you're shopping for twins or close-in-age siblings. Some single prams are easily transformed into Twin Pushchair buggies while others are designed to be twin buggies. Regardless of the design you're seeking the most important thing is to choose one that is suitable for your family's needs and lifestyle.

Most twin buggies are sold in tandem or side-by-side models, which allow children to sit next to one other or behind. Side-by-side models are generally narrower and easier to manoeuvre and are suitable for children of different age groups. Tandems are larger and may not fit in smaller car boot sizes, but they offer the advantage of children being able to interact with one another.

Many brands of twin buggies come with numerous features that parents will appreciate. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, multiple seat recline options and a large front canopy that can be expanded with a peek-aboo hood. Some models come with a parent tray with changing mats that can be removed and under-seat storage baskets.

Selecting the right type of wheel and size is a important factor to consider when buying a twin buggy. Choose a double buggy with all-terrain wheels that can easily traverse mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. To make it easier you can choose a buggy with suspension to smooth out bumps in the road.

Consider a model that has an ample cargo bag for when you intend to use your twin buggy for long walks. This will allow you to carry more than your two kids, and will make it easier to keep your children's belongings in order. Other practical options worth looking into include sun visors, a rain cover and a shopping tray.
