The best double buggy - www.pushchairsandprams.uk blog article - Strollers

A double buggy is ideal for twins who are due, or if you have two children of different ages. The best ones are easy to maneuver and can deal with rough surfaces and kerbs.

They also have features like large sun canopies as well as hoods that are transparent and seats that are adjustable.

1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double

The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel and easily fits through normal doors thanks to its slim design. It's also one of the most light double buggies available that are available, weighing only 14lbs when folded. It's ideal for travel with a newborn and toddler because you won't be able to over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded up into the size of a small travel bag, making it easy to store in the back of your car.

It's simple to fold the Z-shape by using one hand. Once you get used to it, it is compact and can be folded in a matter of just a few seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock a bit difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar does not lock into the position you push it into and it landed on her leg when she was using it. She also thought the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large change bag hangs from it.

This double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full variety of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also offers multiple recline positions, and a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add the bassinet to either or both seats to transform it into a travel system.

The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however, they're not designed for off-roading. They slid on gravel and long grass, and there isn't much space between the wheel and bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb pretty hillocks that were muddy.

iCandy Orange

The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is a top choice in design and versatility. It is a must for parents who are looking for high-end design, quality and style that lasts.

They can also be repositioned to face either the parent or the world facing.

It's a heavier tandem buggie, but it's easy to use and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in double and single mode, and even on sloped terrain. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a little heavy and will not fit in a standard family car boot with the seat on, but this is a problem that can be overcome with some careful planning. iCandy has included an infant footmuff and a changing bag in the price, so this is a great value package for new parents.

The 360-degree swivel can be locked in place to allow for easier maneuvering around the town. The one-pedal lock brake is also simple to use.

Our testers found the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even walking on uneven ground or turning quickly in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to fit your individual preferences - perfect for napping.

The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. They didn't provide the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an additional rain cover in the case.

Overall, our test participants were impressed by the Nipper double's ability to allow them to take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From seeing wildlife in the forest or rushing to a park for a playdate They loved it. They were also impressed by how cosy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of space for growing toddlers to play in. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability of using a car seat with this buggy were noted as a disadvantage by our test participants. They would have preferred a larger storage area to store shopping items and other accessories.
