7 Simple Changes That'll Make The Difference With Your Double Buggy

A Double Buggy Is a Must-Have For Families With Two Kids A double buggy will be a necessity for families with more than one child. It can help you navigate urban pathways and off-road trails without difficulty while keeping your kids safe and content. There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double buggy. Be sure that it will fit through the car boot and through your doorway when folded. Lightweight It's exciting to welcome another child into the family but there are a number of practical aspects to consider. The addition of a second child to the family requires rearranging living spaces, rethinking vehicle seats and acquiring the double buggy. If you're looking for twins or just require something smaller there are plenty of options available on the market. Our lab experts recommend the iCandy Peach because it comes with a variety of accessories that competitors will charge additional fees for. It also folds up very neatly to take up less space in your boot. It rolls smoothly and is a breeze to maneuver. However, it can be a bit long when you're in double mode. Side-by-side buggies work well for keeping kids together, but they can be a bit wider than a single stroller. This can make it difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury, with its 63cm wide, is the slimmest available. It's easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transportation. It is compatible with a variety of car seats, and can expand with your family. You can use it as a tandem or mono buggy once your children are old enough to be seated together. The suspension is excellent for rough surfaces, and its height-adjustable handle makes steering easy. It's great for older children, as the seat is elevated stadium style. This allows them to have a better view of the action. It's not as lightweight as other models, however it's still a great option. You'll be pushing your double buggy often so it's crucial to select an item that is easy to push. Look for a handle with a padded grip that is made 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 store your buggy when you're not using it.

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.

If you intend to travel by public transport frequently, think about whether you're going to need a double buggy with large wheels as these tend to be more tolerant of uneven or rough surfaces. Consider the ease to fold and unfold the buggy, and also the length of the buggy folded to determine if it can fit in your car. If you live in an area with narrow streets, choose a double stroller that has the child is seated behind their companion, instead of in front of them. This makes it easier to maneuver around narrow spaces. Plenty of storage A double buggy isn't essential for all families, but it can make outings easier for those with toddlers or newborns.

There are two primary kinds of double buggy – twin, where your children sit side-by-side, and tandem where one seat is placed in front of the other. A twin buggy has the main advantage that children can be together instead of fighting over who sits in front. Twin buggys can be wider and can be more difficult to navigate through aisles and doors at the supermarket. Tandem buggies are usually slightly shorter than single models, but are still longer.
