14 Smart Ways To Spend Your The Remaining Double Buggy Budget

A double buggy is essential for families with more than one child. You can travel through urban streets or off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your children safe and happy.

When you are choosing a double stroller, there are many aspects to take into consideration. Make sure it fits into your car boot and doorway when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is an exciting prospect but there are also lots of practical considerations. The addition of a new child to the family can mean redesigning living spaces, rethinking car seats, and investing in the double buggy.

If you're looking for twins or simply need something a little more compact there are plenty of great options out there. Our experts from the lab recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a number of accessories that competitors will cost extra for. It also folds very neatly to take up less space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is a breeze to move. It can feel a bit long when in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are ideal for keeping kids together but they are a bit wider than one stroller. This makes it difficult to move through kerbs and up and down. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market and, at 63cm, it's the same size as one pushchair twin. This makes it easy to fit through doors and public transportation. It is compatible with many car seats, and can expand with your family. It can be used as a tandem or mono buggy after your children are old enough to be seated together.

The suspension is excellent for rough terrain, and its adjustable height handle makes steering simple. It's a great choice for older kids, since it comes with a seat that's elevated stadium style to give them a better view of the action. It's not quite as light as other models, however it's still a great option.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are some fantastic new double buggies available that allow you to travel with two kids much easier. The iCandy Orange, for example, is a multi-purpose option that can fit twins or one toddler and one baby with both seats/carrycots facing either in the direction of forward or reverse. It can also accommodate a third child with piggyback's board (sold separately). Its sleek, light frame, swivel wheels, and suspension make it easy to move through the city and on rougher terrain.

Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a smaller footprint, making them easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with seats still in place. They require more effort to push over kerbs, and they can be tricky on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another excellent option as it can be used with both carseats or seats in tandem, but can also be used as a single buggy due to its unique frame that can be expanded widthways, and a height adjustable handle which makes it easy to steer with just one hand.

If you plan to use public transport often, think about whether you'll require a double buggy with large wheels since they tend to be more tolerant of uneven or rough surfaces. Check the ease to fold and unfold the buggy, as well as the size of the buggy folded to see if it will fit into your boot. If you live in an area with narrow streets, consider a tandem double stroller where the child is placed behind their partner instead of in front of them. This will make it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces.

Storage is available in abundance

A double buggy isn't a necessity for all families but it makes outings more manageable for families with toddlers and newborns. Look into the side-byside buggies if you want a lightweight, easy-to-steer model. These have a large basket underneath as well as side and rear pockets that can be used to store the essentials for your baby. Many models have adjustable handles that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights. They also fold neatly to a compact form which makes them perfect for small areas or in the boot.

If you want a more robust double buggy, try one of the all-terrain models. They are typically twins and are more difficult to maneuver, but often come with a reclined seat that is ideal for babies and toddlers. They're an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active family members. Certain models can be converted into joggers, which makes them ideal for running or exercising.

Many of the top double buggies will be able to accommodate a variety of combinations of carrycots, seats and car seats. They are a great choice for families with twins, or siblings of similar ages. But, it's essential to verify the specifications of any model that you are interested in.

There are two kinds of double buggys: tandem and twin. In tandem the seat is placed on top of the other. The main advantage of a twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate, rather than having to rotate or fight over who gets the prime seat. However, twin buggy tend to be wider and may be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly shorter however they're still more than single models. They are also less stable and may require dismantling in order to fit in the car boot.

Make sure that the model allows you to adjust each child's seat to the position that they are most comfortable in.

Comfort

A well-designed double buggy should give both parents and children plenty of comfort. Look out for padding on the straps, the amount of recline each seat is able to do and whether the seats are independently adjustable so that you can adjust them as your children develop. Be sure to check the weight limit and whether both have a hood or sun canopy that protects from wind and rain.

Consider a baby carrier to replace a double stroller. They are ideal for toddlers that want to walk, but still require a ride. They're also ideal for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with a child car seat to give you more flexibility.
