Buying a Twin Buggy

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

Side-by-side buggies like the Out n About Nipper double buggy with carrycot are slim enough to fit through most doorways and require less space on the pavement. For tough terrain, look for independent seat recliner and suspension that are able to take on the terrain.

Comfort

You will require a twin stroller that is comfortable if you plan to take twins on a trip. You can select an adjustable seat with calfrests to ensure your baby is comfortable, and a sun canopy that extends and a large storage basket. Many manufacturers also offer an array of accessories to make sure you have everything for family outings including rain covers and cup holders.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the width of your buggy. There are some slimmer twins that will fit through standard doors however, you'll need to take measurements and consult the manufacturer before purchasing. Also, remember that the twins you have are of different in age and have different needs you'll need to adjust the seating configuration regularly.

The multi-award winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy that offers an incredible range of options, which is ideal for siblings of different age groups or twins. It comes with 17 different configurations and can be used as a travel set-up with a compatible infant carrier or car seat. The clever frame expands in width instead of height. This makes it one of the slimmest side-byside options available.

The model also comes with two seats that are world-facing from birth, which can be adapted to accommodate cosido or a parent-facing carrycot to let parents monitor both of their newborns at all times. The seats have independently reclining options, allowing you to find the best position for your baby, while the large UPF50sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests provide plenty of protection from the elements.

Safety

The best twin buggies come with suspensions that can handle grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some models come with two front wheels that provide additional stability on bumpy roads or rough terrain. Look for features like an auto-stop feature that will stop the buggy once you release the handlebar. This lets you catch it before it rolls. Make sure you know the weight limit for a double buggy if you are planning to take your children on a walk or run. It's also recommended to test the seat recline to ensure your children are comfortable on long walks or jogs.

There are three types of twin buggies: tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. The side-by-side model is perfect for twins and siblings that are close in age. They can both sit together so that they can talk and interact during walks. This type of twin buggy is narrower than other types, which makes it easier to maneuver and pass through doorways. However, they can be heavier and have a larger footprint than single buggies. This makes them less stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double-travel systems, and offer the possibility of attaching two carrycots or car seats simultaneously. Some models can be expanded to hold two of the same baby car seat in rear-facing mode. They could be narrower and longer than twin buggies which are side-by-side, however they can also be narrower and longer than single buggies.

The ones with a seat are generally smaller and take up less space on the road than other double buggy that converts to single buggy types. This makes them a good choice for siblings or twins of different ages who prefer to sit alongside each other and not wake each other up by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be separate in their reclined seat, so your little ones can sleep comfortably without hitting each other.

Convenience

With a twin stroller allows your children to take their favorite dolls or teddies with them on walks. Many models come with seats that allow two children to sit together and play together. Some even have an adjustable basket that can be folded to store everything.

Its design is user-friendly, featuring a single to double pushchair-handed fold and simple unfold. It's smooth to roll and the suspension makes light work of the kerbs.

Tandems are larger and may not fit into smaller car boot sizes, but they provide the benefit of children being able to interact each other.

A lot of twin buggies have many features that parents love. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, a variety of recline options for the seat and a huge front canopy which can be enlarged by a peek-a-boo hood. Some models also come with an adult tray with cup holders, a change mat and an under-seat basket to store things in.
