Buying a Twin Buggy

This range of double buggies and prams are perfect for parents with twins or children of similar age. Tandem models offer greater mobility on public transportation as well as in smaller spaces.

Side-by-side buggies like the Out n About Nipper double single pushchair are slim enough to pass through the majority of doors and require less space on the road. Check for independent seat recline and a powerful suspension that can handle difficult terrain.

Comfort

If you’re planning to take twins on adventures, you need a twin stroller that can provide plenty of comfort. You can purchase an adjustable seat with calf rests to ensure that your baby is comfortable and also an extended sun canopy and an ample storage basket. Many manufacturers provide extras such as cup holders and rain covers to make sure you have everything you require for your family outings.

The size of your buggy is another important factor to take into consideration. While there are smaller twin models available that fit through standard doorways, you’ll need to measure and verify with the manufacturer prior to buying. You’ll also have to alter your seating arrangement when you have twins who are different age or with different requirements.

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. It comes in 17 different options and can be used as a travel system with an infant carrier that is compatible with the car seat. The innovative frame expands in width, not height. This makes it one the slimmest side-byside options available.

This model also has two world-facing seats suitable from birth. They can be adapted to accommodate a parent-facing carrycot or cosido to let parents monitor both their infants at all times. The seats have independently reclining options so you can create the perfect position for your little ones and the large UPF50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests offer ample protection from the elements.

The Graco Voyager inline twin buggy is a great budget-friendly option for toddlers and kids up to age three. Its seats can be reclined in multiple positions, and the front wheel suspension makes it a smooth ride over most types of terrain. Our Lab experts were impressed by the folding method: pull up on the strap on each seat and you’ll have it folded in just a few seconds and you don’t have to take them off first.

Safety

The best twin buggies are durable and all-terrain, with suspension that can handle gravel, grass paths and kerbs. Some have two wheels on the front for additional stability when driving through rough terrain or bumpy roads. Be sure to look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy when you release the handlebar so that you can stop it before it rolls away. Make sure you know the weight limit for a double buggy if you are planning to take your children on a walk or run. It’s also a good idea to test the recline of your seat to ensure that your children are at ease during long jogging or walking.

There are three kinds of twin buggies: tandem, side by side and one-seated. Side-by-side by side double stroller models are great for twins or siblings that are close in age because they allow both to sit together, to converse and interact during walks. This type of twin buggy is smaller than other types, which makes it easier to maneuver and fit through doorways. They could be heavier, have a larger footprint, and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.

Tandem buggy models are more likely to be double-travel systems, with the option of attaching two car seats or carrycots at the same time. Certain models can be expanded to accommodate two of the same baby car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower and longer than twin buggies that are side-by-side, but they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

One-seated models are usually much shorter than other varieties of double buggy, and take up less of the pavement. They are a good choice for twins or siblings who want to share a seat without the need to wake each other up by fighting or pulling each other’s hair. Some models are designed to be separate in their reclined seat which means that your children can rest comfortably without kicking each other.

Convenience

With twin strollers allows your children to take their favourite dolls or teddies with them on a walk. There are many models with seats that let two kids sit together to interact. Some even have an adjustable basket that can be folded to store everything.

There are twin buggy from birth buggies available in various price ranges. However, it’s worth paying a little more to purchase a model that is easy to use and will grow along with your family. The Joie Evalite Duo, for example, is an excellent option. You can buy it on the internet for around PS200. Its back seat is flat for babies and slatted for a toddler. The design is user-friendly, featuring a single-handed fold and easy unfold. It is easy to roll, and the suspension makes it easy to handle the kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 offers another versatile option. It has 30 different seating configurations including twins, a child, toddlers or three children if you choose to add the UPPAbaby’s “PiggyBack” board (which can be bought separately for PS120). The small chassis, just 73cm wide when in double mode, means that it can fit through the majority of doors and can be rolled into your home without taking up too much space. It has large canopies to provide exceptional protection from sun and rain as well as peekaboo hoods to ensure you can monitor your kids at all times.

The Gazelle S Luxury is a twin pushchair created with the idea of convenience in mind. It lets you save time by folding the pushchair with both seats attached. This allows you to wheel it straight out the front door, which is useful for parents of infants. The lower seat will require removal, but it only takes a few seconds. The whole item can be folded neatly and upright. Its slim frame is also smaller than other double buggies, and it’s light too.

Design

If you’re shopping for twins or siblings that are close in age, there’s various designs to choose from. Some single prams are able to transform into a twin buggy by an easy conversion, while others are built to be twin buggies from the ground up. Whatever model you’re looking for the most important thing is to find one that suits your family’s lifestyle and needs.

The majority of twin buggies are available in tandem or side-byside configurations, which allow children to sit next to one other or behind. Side-by-side models are generally smaller and easier to maneuver and are suitable for kids or babies of different age groups. Tandems are bigger and might not fit in smaller car boot sizes, but they offer the advantage of children being able to interact with each other.

Many twin buggies have many features that parents will love. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, a variety of recline options for seats and a large front canopy that can be expanded with a peek-aboo hood. Some models include a parent tray, removable changing mats and under-seat storage baskets.

The right wheel type and size is an additional important aspect to consider for your twin buggy. Double stroller Travel system buggy wheels that have all-terrain capabilities will enable you to navigate mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. Pick a buggy with suspension for better control.

Look for a model with a large cargo bag for when you intend to use your twin buggy on long walks. You can carry more than your two children and keep track of all their belongings. Consider adding sun visors, rain covers and shopping tray bags to your bag.
