Buying a Twin Buggy

This collection of double pushchair buggies and prams are perfect for parents with twins or children with similar ages. Tandem models provide greater mobility on public transport and in smaller spaces.

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

Comfort

It is essential to have a twin stroller double that is comfortable if you intend to take twins out. You can choose seats with adjustable calf rests that will help keep babies comfy, as well as an extendable sun canopy and a large storage basket. Many manufacturers also provide various accessories to ensure that you have everything for family outings including cups and rain covers.

The width of your buggy is an important aspect to consider. There are a few twins with a slimmer profile that will fit through doors that are standard, but you'll have to measure them and consult the manufacturer before purchasing. It is also necessary to alter your seating arrangement when you have twins who are different age groups or with different requirements.

The multi-award-winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy that provides an incredible range of options, which is ideal for siblings of varying age or twins. With 17 different configurations to pick from it can be used with car seats or an infant carrier to form a travel system. The clever frame expands widthways, not height, which makes it one of the slimmer side-by-side alternatives available, taking up only 73cm of space in double mode, which is roughly the same as a Single to double buggy pram when not in use.

This model comes with two world-facing seats that are suitable for babies from birth. They can be adjusted to fit either a carrycot or a cosido facing the parents, allowing them to monitor their children throughout the day. The seats are reclining independently options so you can create the best position for your child and the large UPF50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests provide plenty of protection from the elements.

The Graco Voyager is a budget-friendly inline twin buggy that's ideal for toddlers and children up to three years old. The seats are reclining in multiple positions, while the front wheel suspension helps provide a smooth ride across most terrain. Our Lab experts loved the folding method: simply pull up a strap on each seat to fold it in seconds.

Safety

The best twin buggies are durable and all-terrain with suspensions that are able to take on grass, gravel paths, and kerbs. Some even have two front wheels for extra stability when navigating rough terrain or bumpy roads. Be sure to look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy when you pull off the handlebar so that you can catch it before it rolls away. If you're looking for a double buggy that can take your children on a run or walk it is important to know the weight limit. Also, you should test the seat recline to ensure that your children will be at ease during long walks or runs.

There are many kinds of twin buggies available including tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for siblings who are close in age, as they provide space for both of them to sit together so they can converse and interact during walks. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than other models, making it easier to maneuver and fit through doors. They could be heavier, have a larger footprint and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs.

Tandem buggys are more likely to be double travel system models, which allow you to attach two carseats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be adapted to accommodate two identical baby car seats rear-facing positions. They can be narrower and longer than twin buggies that sit side-by-side, but they can also be narrower and longer than single buggies.

The ones with a seat are generally narrower and take up less space on the pavement than other double buggy models. This makes them a great option for twins or siblings of varying ages, who like to sit next to one another and avoid waking one another awake by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be independent in their reclined seat which means that your children can rest comfortably without kicking each one.

Convenience

If your little ones want to take their favourite dolls or teddies out on an adventure with them, you can easily do this by using a twin buggy. A lot of models have seats that let two kids sit together so they can play together. Some even have a foldable basket for storing everything.

There are twin buggies available in various price ranges. However, it's worth spending a bit more to get a model that is simple to use and will grow with your family. For instance the Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice that you can purchase online for about PS200. Its backrest is flat for a baby and is more upright for toddlers and is suitable for babies from birth. Its design is user-friendly, with a one-handed fold and simple unfold. It is easy to roll, and the suspension makes it easy to work with kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 offers another flexible option. It has 30 different seating options, including twins, a child, a toddler or three children if you add the UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack" board (which can be purchased separately for around PS120). The slim chassis is only 73cm in double mode and fits through most doors. It can also be wheeled around your home, without taking up too much space. It comes with large canopy that offer excellent protection from rain and sun, plus peekaboo hoods so you can monitor your kids at any time.

You can also buy twin pushchairs that have been made with convenience at the forefront, like the Gazelle S Luxury which lets you reduce time by folding it with both seats firmly attached. This lets you push it straight out of the front door, which is especially useful for parents of infants. The lower seat will still require removal, however, it takes only just a few seconds. The entire item can be folded in a neat and upright manner. The slim frame is less bulky than other double buggies and is light too.

Design

There are a myriad of styles to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Some single prams are easily transformed into twin buggies while others are designed to be twin buggies. Whatever model you pick, it's important to find one that fits your family's lifestyle and requirements.

The majority of twin buggies are tandem or side-byside, allowing children to sit beside each other or behind. Side-by-side models tend to be smaller and easier to maneuver, and they can work for kids or babies with different age groups. Tandems are wider and may not fit in smaller car boot sizes, but they provide the benefit of children being able to interact one another.

Many twin buggies come with many features that parents appreciate. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, multiple seat recline options and a huge front canopy that can be extended by a peek-a-boo hood. Some models include an adult tray with changing mats that can be removed and under-seat storage baskets.

The right size and type of wheel is also crucial for your compact twin stroller buggy. Wheels for twins that have all-terrain capabilities will enable you to navigate through mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. To make it easier, opt for the buggy that has suspension systems to smooth bumps on the road.

If you're planning on using your twin buggy for long walks, you should consider a model with a spacious cargo bag. You can take more than your two children and keep the track of their items. Other practical features that are worth looking into include sun protection, rain cover and a shopping tray.
