A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids

A double buggy is essential for families with two children. It allows you to navigate urban roads and off-road trails without difficulty while making sure that your children are comfortable and happy.

There are many things to consider when choosing a double buggy. Be sure that it will fit through the car boot and through your doorway when folded.

Lightweight

Bringing home a second child is an exciting prospect but there are also lots of practical considerations. The addition of another child to the family means reorganising living spaces, rethinking car seats and, of course, purchasing a brand new double buggy.

There are plenty of great alternatives available, whether you're looking for twins or want something that is narrow. Our lab experts like the iCandy Peach, which comes with a set of accessories that other brands cost extra for and can fold up very well to take up a small amount of space in your boot. The Peach is well-balanced and is a breeze to manoeuvre. It may feel a little long when used in double mode.

Side-by-side buggies are great for keeping your children together but they are typically bigger than a single buggy which makes them difficult to navigate through kerbs. The Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury is the slimmest side-by-side available on the market and, at just 63cm wide it's the same width as a single pushchair. This makes it easy to fit through doorways and on public transportation. It's compatible with a variety of car seats and will expand with your family and can be used as a mono or tandem buggy when your children are ready to sit side-by-side.

The adjustable height handle is great for steering, and the suspension can take care of slick surfaces. It's a great choice for older kids, as it has a seat that's elevated in a stadium style, giving them an even better view of the action. It's not quite as light as other models, but it's still a great option.

It's crucial to select a double buggy that's comfortable to push. Choose a handle that has a padded grip that is designed to fit your height. Also, look for a large basket with many pockets and compartments. It's also worth looking into how easy it is to fold and put away your buggy when not using it.

Easy to maneuver

There are some fantastic new double buggies available that make going out and about with two kids much easier. For example the iCandy Orange is an all-in-one option that can be used to carry twins (or one toddler and a baby) with both car seats facing forward or backward, and even a third seat using piggyback boards (sold separately). Its slim, sleek frame with swivel wheels on the front and suspension make it easy to maneuver through the city and over rough terrain.

The Joie Evalite Duo is another side-by-side model that's incredibly light and has a small footprint. They can be easily stored with the seats attached. However, they do require a bit more muscle to get over kerbs, and are more difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used in tandem mode using both car seats and seat and can be used to push one buggy. Its clever frame expands widthways.

If you are planning to use public transport frequently you might want to consider a double buggy with large wheels. These are better suited to rough or uneven surfaces.
