Buying a Twin Buggy
If you’re taking twins or two children who are similar in age, this collection of double prams and buggies make it easy to move your kids from A B. Tandem models are great for siblings of similar age, while single-seaters offer greater maneuverability on public transport and in smaller spaces.
Side-by-side buggies, such as the Out n About Nipper Double are slim enough to fit through the majority of doors and take up less space on the pavement. For tough terrain, look for independent seat recliner and suspension that can take on the terrain.
Comfort
It is essential to have a twin stroller that is comfortable if you intend to take twins out. You can select one with adjustable calfrests that will keep your kids comfy, as well as an extended sun canopy and a huge storage basket. Many manufacturers also offer various accessories to ensure that you have everything you need to enjoy your family outings, including cups holders and rain covers.
Another thing to consider is the width of your buggy. There are a few twins with a slimmer profile that will fit through doors of standard size, but you’ll have to measure them and consult the manufacturer before buying. Keep in mind that when your twins are of different ages and have varying requirements, you’ll have ready to grow double stroller alter the seating arrangement regularly.
Duet V3.2, a side by side twin buggy with a wide range of configurations, is a great choice for twins or siblings of various age. With 17 options to select from it can be used with car seats or an infant carrier as a travel system, and the clever frame expands widthways rather than height, which makes it one of the slimmer side-by-side options available, taking up only 73% of the space when in double mode, which is about the same as a single pram when in use.
This model comes with two world-facing seats that are suitable for babies as young as. They can be modified to accommodate either the carrycot or cosido facing the parents which allows parents to keep an eye on their children at all times. The seats can be adjusted separately to ensure that you find the perfect position for your child. The UPF50+ large canopy with a magnetic peekaboo window and adjustable calf supports offers protection from the elements.
The Graco Voyager inline twin buggy is a budget-friendly option for toddlers and children from age 3. Its seats can recline in various positions, and the front wheel suspension gives it a smooth ride over all types of terrain. Our Lab experts were impressed by the fold-up design: just pull a strap from each seat to fold it in seconds.
Safety
The most reliable twin stroller side by side buggies have a suspension that can handle grass, gravel paths, and kerbs. Some have two front wheels to provide extra stability when riding on bumpy roads or rough terrain. Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy when you let go of the handlebar, so that you can catch it before it rolls away. Make sure you know the weight limit for a double buggy if you intend to take your kids on a run or walk. Also, you should test the recline of the seat to ensure that your children will be comfortable on long walks or runs.
There are many kinds of twin buggies that are available including tandem, side-by-side and one-seat. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins and siblings who are close in age. They can both sit together so that they can talk and interact during walks. This type of twin buggy is smaller than others, making it easier to maneuver and fit through doors. They may be heavier, have a larger footprint, and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.
Tandem buggys are more likely be double travel systems models, able to connect two carrycots or carseats at the same time. Certain models can be adapted to accommodate two identical baby car seats in the rear-facing position. They could be narrower than twin buggies that are side-by-side however they can be longer than single buggy models. However, they may not be able to pass through doors if doors that are made by the manufacturer are too narrow.
One-seat models are generally smaller than other kinds of double buggy, and take up less of the pavement. This makes them an excellent choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, who would rather sit beside each other and avoid waking one another up by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be separate in their reclined seat which means that your children can snooze comfortably without kicking each one.
Convenience
If your little ones want to take their favourite dolls or teddies out on an excursion with them, they can easily do so with a twin buggy. Many models have seats where two children can sit side by side to play together, and some even have a handy foldable carry basket to store everything.
There are twin buggies available in various price ranges. But, it’s worth paying a little more to get a model which is simple to use and will grow along with your family. For instance, the Joie Evalite Duo is a great choice, which you can pick up on the internet for around PS200. Its backrest is flat for newborns and slatted for a toddler. The design is user-friendly, featuring a single-handed fold and simple unfold. It’s smooth to roll and the suspension is able to make light work of kerbs.
The iCandy Peach 7 is another super-versatile option, with a total of 30 seating options, including twins, a child and a toddler or three children with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (which you can buy separately for around PS120). The compact chassis, which measures just 73cm wide when in double mode, ensures it fits through most doorways and can be wheeled into your home without taking up too much space. It comes with large canopy to provide exceptional protection from rain and sun as well as peekaboo hoods to ensure you can monitor your children at all times.
You can also purchase twin pushchairs that have been designed with convenience at the forefront, such as the Gazelle S Luxury, which allows you to reduce time by folding it with both seats attached. It is possible to push the pushchair straight out of the front door. This is especially beneficial for parents with babies. The lower seat will still require removal, but it’s only just a few seconds. The whole thing can then be folded neatly and upright. Its slim frame is also smaller than other double buggies, and it’s lightweight too.
Design
There are many designs to pick from, whether you’re buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Some single prams are easily converted into twin buggies while others are designed to be twin buggies. Regardless of the design you’re looking for the most important factor is to find one that fits your family’s needs and lifestyle.
The majority of twin buggies are tandem or side-byside, allowing children to sit beside each other or behind. Side-by-side models are generally narrower and easier to manoeuvre and are suitable for babies or kids of different age groups. Tandems may not fit in smaller car boot spaces, but they let children to play.
Many brands of twin buggies have many features that parents will appreciate. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses with multiple seat recline options and a huge front canopy that can be extended with a peek-a-boo hood. Some models include an adult tray with changing mats that can be removed and under-seat storage baskets.
Selecting the right type of wheel and size is an additional important factor to consider when buying a twin buggy. Double buggy wheels with all-terrain capability will enable you to navigate mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. Choose a buggy that has a suspension system for more control.
Consider a model that has a large cargo bag if you plan to use your twin buggy for long walks. You can carry more than your two children and keep track of all their items. Consider adding sun visors, rain covers, and shopping tray to your bag.
