Buying a Twin Buggy

Comfort

You need a twin stroller that is comfortable if you plan to take twins on a trip. You can select one with adjustable calfrests to ensure your baby is comfy, as well as an extended sun canopy and a huge storage basket. Many manufacturers offer additional features such as cup holders and rain covers so that you have everything you require when you go on family trips.

Another important factor to consider is the size of your buggy. While there are some smaller twin models available that fit through doors that are standard, you'll need to measure your child's height and consult with the manufacturer prior to purchasing. Keep in mind that the twins you have are of different ages and have different requirements, you'll have to alter the seating arrangement frequently.

Safety

The most reliable twin buggies have suspensions that can withstand grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some have two wheels on the front for additional stability when driving through rough roads or bumpy terrain. You can look for features like an auto-stop feature which will stop the buggy when you release its handlebar. This allows you to stop it from rolling. Check the weight limit of the 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 that your kids are comfortable during long jogging or walking.

There are three types of twin buggies: tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins and siblings who are very close in age. They can sit together so that they can talk and interact during walks. This kind of twin buggy is narrower than other models, making it easier to maneuver and pass through doors. They might be heavier, have a larger footprint and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be pushchair double-travel systems, and offer the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots simultaneously. Certain models can be adapted to accommodate two identical baby car seats the rear-facing position. They could be narrower than side-by-side twin buggies however they can be longer than single buggy models. They may not be able to pass through doors if doors of the manufacturers aren't wide enough.

They are a good choice for twins and siblings who want to be seated together without disturbing each other by fighting or pulling each hair. Certain models can recline independently in positions, meaning that your children can sleep peacefully without hitting each other.

Convenience

With twin strollers, your children can take their favourite dolls or teddies with them on a walk. Many models come with seats that let two kids sit together to interact. Some even have an adjustable basket that can be folded to store everything.

Tandems are wider and may not fit in smaller car boots, however they offer the advantage of children being able to interact each other.

Many twin buggies have various features that parents will love. Look for adjustable safety harnesses with five points, a variety of recline options and a large canopy that can be widened by the hood that peeks out. Some models also feature a parent tray with cup holders, a removable changing mat and an under-seat basket to store things in.

Choosing the right wheel type and size is another important aspect to consider for your twin buggy. Find a double Buggy with Car Seat buggy that has all-terrain wheels that can easily traverse mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. Select a buggy with a suspension system for more control.

Look for a model with large cargo bags for when you intend to use your twin buggy for long walks. This will let you carry more than your two kids, and will also make it much easier to keep the track of their belongings. Consider adding sun visors, rain covers and shopping tray to your bag.
