Buying a Twin Buggy

If you're taking twins or two children close in age, this range of double prams and buggies make it easy to move your kids from A to B. Tandem models are ideal for siblings of similar age and single-seaters provide more manoeuvrability on public transport and in smaller spaces.

The Out n About Nipper Double is slim enough to fit through many doors and occupies less space when parked. For terrain that is tough, look for independent seat recliner and suspension that are able to handle it.

Comfort

You will require a twin stroller that is comfortable when you plan to take twins on a trip. You can select a seat that has adjustable calfrests to keep your babies comfy, as well as a sun canopy that extends and a huge storage basket. Many manufacturers provide extras like cup holders and rain covers to make sure you have everything you require on your family outings.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the size of your buggy. While there are some slimmer twin models available that can be used in standard doorways, you'll need to measure your child's height and consult with the manufacturer prior to 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 regularly.

The multi-award-winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy that provides incredible versatility, ideal for siblings of varying ages or twins. With 17 options to select from it can be used with a car seat or a compatible infant carrier as a travel system, and the innovative frame expands widthways rather than height, making it one of the slimmer side-byside options available and takes up just 73% of the space when in double umbrella stroller mode, which is roughly the same as a single pram when in use.

This model features two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth. They can be modified to accommodate either an infant carrycot or a cosido facing the parents and allowing them to watch their children at all times. The seats come with independently recline options to allow you to create the best position for your baby and the large UPF50sun canopy that has magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests provides ample protection from the elements.

The Graco Voyager inline twin buggy is a great budget-friendly option for kids and toddlers from age 3. The seats can recline in multiple positions, and the front wheel suspension helps provide smooth rides on all terrain. Our Lab experts were impressed by the fold-up design: just pull up a strap on each seat to fold it down in just a few seconds.

Safety

The most effective twin buggies are robust and all-terrain, with suspension that can handle gravel, grass paths, and kerbs. Some have two front wheels for additional stability on bumpy roads or in rough terrain. Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy in the event you release the handlebar so that you can stop it before it rolls away. If you're looking for a double buggy that can transport your children on a run or walk you should check the weight limit. You should also test the recline of the seat to ensure that your children are comfortable during long runs or walks.

There are three kinds of twin buggies: tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. The side-by-side model is perfect for siblings and twins who are close in age. They can be seated together to chat and interact on walks. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than other models, making it easier to maneuver and pass through doorways. However, they may be heavier and have a wider footprint than single buggies, which makes them feel less stable when driving up kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be extended to accommodate two identical baby car seats in rear-facing position. They can be narrower than side-by-side twin buggies, but can still be larger than single buggy models and may not always pass through doors if the doors of the manufacturers are too narrow.

One-seaters are typically shorter than other varieties of Double pram Buggy buggy and make up less pavement. They are a good choice for twins and siblings who want to sit together without disturbing each other by fighting or pulling each hair. Some models have independent recline positions, meaning that your children can sleep peacefully without kicking each other.

Convenience

If your little ones are looking to take their favorite dolls or teddies on an adventure with them, you can do it easily with a twin buggy. There are many models with seats that allow two children to sit together to interact. Some even have a foldable basket for storing everything.

There are twin buggies available in different price ranges. However, it's worth paying a little more to get a model that is easy to use and can grow with your family. For instance the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice, and can purchase online for about 200 dollars. The back seat folds flat for a newborn and is more upright for toddlers, making it suitable from the time of birth. Its design is user-friendly, with a one-handed fold and simple unfold. It rolls well and the suspension is able to make light work of kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 is another extremely versatile option, offering the option of 30 seating configurations, which include twins, a child, a toddler or three children with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (which is available separately for PS120).

Design

Some single prams are easily transformed into twin buggies while others are designed to be twin buggies. Whatever model you're seeking the most important thing is to find one that suits your family's requirements and lifestyle.

Most twin buggies are side-by-side or tandem, allowing children to be seated next to one another or behind. Side-by-side models are slimmer and easier to maneuver, and can be used for children of all different ages. Tandems may not be suitable for smaller car boot spaces, but they allow children to play.

Many twin buggies come with a variety of features that parents will love. Look for adjustable safety harnesses with five points, multiple seat recline choices and a huge canopy which can be extended with a peek-aboo hood. Some models come with a parent tray with removable changing mats as well as under-seat storage baskets.

Choosing the right wheel type and size is an additional important factor to consider when buying a twin buggy. Look for a double pram buggy-buggy with all-terrain wheels that are able to navigate mud, gravel and uneven surfaces. Pick a buggy with suspension to give you more control.

If you're planning to use your twin buggy for long walks, consider the model that has a large cargo bag. This will allow you to carry more than your two kids, and will make it easier to keep your children's belongings in order. Consider adding sun visors, rain covers, and shopping trays to your bag.
