Buying a Twin Buggy

This selection of double buggies and prams is ideal for parents with twins or children of similar age. Tandem models provide greater mobility on public transportation as well as in smaller spaces.

Side-by-side buggies like the Out n About Nipper Double are slimline enough to fit through the majority of doors and take up less space on the pavement. Look for a recline that is independent and a powerful suspension that can handle tough terrain.

Comfort

You need a twin stroller that is comfortable if you intend to take twins out. You can get a seat with adjustable calf rests that will ensure that your baby is comfortable and also an extension of the sun canopy as well as an ample storage basket. Many manufacturers provide extras such as cup holders and rain covers so that you have everything you need when you go on family trips.

The width of your buggy is an important aspect to consider. While there are smaller twin models that fit through standard doorways but you'll have to measure and verify with the manufacturer prior to buying. Also, keep in mind that the twins you have are of different in age and have different requirements, you'll have to alter the seating configuration regularly.

Safety

The most effective twin buggies are sturdy and all-terrain with suspension that can handle gravel, grass paths and kerbs. Some models have two front wheels for additional stability on rough terrain or bumpy road. Look for features such as an auto-stop feature that stops the buggy once you release the handlebar. This lets you stop it before it rolls. Check the weight limit of the double buggy if you intend to take your kids on a run or walk. It's also an excellent idea to test the recline of the seat, to make sure your kids will be at ease during long walks or jogs.

There are several types of twin buggies that are available - side-by-side, tandem and one-seated. The side-by-side model is perfect for twins and siblings that are very close in age. They can both sit together so that they can communicate and be in contact during walks. This kind of twin buggy may be smaller than other models that makes them more convenient to maneuver and fit through doors. However, they can be heavier and have a larger footprint than single buggies. This makes them feel less stable climbing up kerbs.

Tandem buggy models are more likely to be double travel systems, with the option of attaching two carrycots or car seats simultaneously. Some models can be expanded to accommodate two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They could be narrower than twin buggies with side-by-side seating, but can still be longer than single buggy models. They may not pass through doors if the doors that are made by the manufacturer aren't wide enough.

The one-seat models are generally shorter and occupy less space on the pavement than other Double Running stroller buggy models. This makes them an excellent choice for siblings or twins of different ages who prefer to sit alongside each other and avoid waking one another awake by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be separate in their seat recline and your kids can rest comfortably without kicking each one.

Convenience

If your kids want to take their favourite dolls or teddies on an adventure with them, you can easily do this with a twin buggy. Many models come with seats where two children can sit side by side to interact and some have a carry basket that folds down to store everything.
