15 Gifts For The Twin Buggy Lover In Your Life

Buying a Twin Buggy If you're looking to take twins or two children who are similar in age, this collection of double prams and buggies make it easy to move your kids from A to B. Tandem models are ideal for siblings of similar ages while single-seaters allow for greater maneuverability on public transport and in tighter spaces. Side-by-side buggies such as the Out n About Nipper Double are slim enough to fit through the majority of doorways and require less space on the pavement. For terrain that is tough, look for independent seat recliner and suspension that can take on the terrain. Comfort It is essential to have a twin stroller that is comfortable if you intend to take twins out. You can purchase a seat with adjustable calf rests to help keep babies comfy and comfortable, as well as an extension of the sun canopy as well as an ample storage basket. Many manufacturers also offer various accessories to ensure that you have everything for your family outings, including cups holders and rain covers. Another thing to consider is the size of your buggy. There are a few twins with a slimmer profile that will fit through doors of standard size but you'll need to measure them and consult the manufacturer before purchasing. You'll also need to adjust your seating arrangement in case you have twins of different age or with different requirements. The multi-award winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy with incredible versatility, ideal for siblings of different ages or twins. With 17 different configurations to pick from, it can be used with a car seat or a compatible infant carrier as a transport system, and the clever frame expands widthways rather than height, which makes it one of the slimmest side-by-side options on the market with only 73cm of space when used in double mode, which is roughly the same as an individual pram when it is not in use. This model also features two seats with a world-facing view that can be used from birth. They can be adapted to accommodate parents-facing carrycots or cosidos so that parents can monitor their infants at all times. The seats have independently reclining options to allow you to create the perfect position for your child and the UPF50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests offer plenty of protection from the elements. The Graco Voyager inline twin buggy is a great budget-friendly option for toddlers and children up to age three. Its seats can be reclined in a variety of positions and the front wheel suspension gives it a smooth ride on the majority of surfaces. Our Lab experts liked the folding method: pull up on a strap on each seat, and you'll have it folded in a matter of seconds without having to take them off before. Safety The best twin buggies come with suspensions that can handle grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some have two front wheels for additional stability on rough terrain or bumpy road. Be sure to look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy in the event you release the handlebar, so you can catch the vehicle before it goes away. Make sure you know the weight limit for the double buggy if you want to take your kids on a run or walk. It's also a good idea to test the seat recline to ensure that your kids will be at ease during long jogging or walks. There are three kinds of twin buggies: tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins or siblings very close in age because they allow both to sit together, so they can converse and interact during walks. This type of twin buggy can be narrower than other types, which makes them easier to maneuver and fit through doors. They could be heavier, have a bigger footprint, and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs. Tandem buggy models tend to be double-travel systems, with the option of attaching two car seats or carrycots simultaneously. Some models can be expanded to hold two infants in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower than twin buggies with side-by-side seating, but can still be longer than single buggy models. They may not fit through doorways if the manufacturers' 'standard' doors are too narrow. One-seated models are usually much shorter than other varieties of double buggy , and use less road. They are an excellent choice for siblings and twins who want to be seated together without the need to wake each other up by fighting or pulling each hair. Some models are designed to be independent in their seat recline and your kids can rest comfortably without kicking each one. Convenience With a twin stroller, your children can take their favourite dolls or toys along for a walk. Many models have seats where two children can sit side by side to play together and some have a foldable carry basket to store everything. Twin buggies are available at various price points however it's worth spending an extra amount to get one that is simple to operate and can expand with your family. The Joie Evalite Duo, for example, is an excellent option. It can be purchased online for around 200 dollars. Its backrest is flat for babies and is more upright for a toddler, making it suitable for babies from birth. The design is extremely user-friendly and has a simple fold. It rolls well and the suspension does a great job of the kerbs. The iCandy Peach 7 is another highly versatile option, featuring a total of 30 seating configurations, including twins, a child, the toddler or three children with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' board (which you can buy separately for PS120). The small chassis measures 73cm in double mode and fits through most doors. It can also be wheeled inside your home, without taking up too much space. It has big canopy options that offer excellent protection from sun and rain, plus peekaboo hoods so you can check in on your kids at all times. The Gazelle S Luxury is a twin pushchair designed with convenience in mind. It lets you reduce time by folding the pushchair with both seats in place. This lets you wheel straight out the front door, which is particularly useful for parents of infants. The seat on the lower side will need to be removed, however, it takes only just a few seconds. The whole item can be folded neatly and upright. Its slim frame makes it lighter and smaller than other double buggies. Design Whether you're shopping for twins or siblings that are close in age, there are many designs to pick from. Some single prams can transform into a twin buggy with a simple conversion, others are built to be twin buggies from the ground up. Whatever model you're looking for, the most important factor is to find one that suits your family's needs and lifestyle. Most twin buggies are either side-by-side or tandem, allowing children to sit next to each other or behind. Side-by-side models are smaller and more maneuverable, and can be used for children of all different ages. Tandems may not be suitable for smaller car boot spaces, but they do allow children to interact. Many twin buggies come with a variety of features that parents will love. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, multiple recline options for seats and a huge front canopy which can be enlarged by a peek-a-boo hood. Some models come with an adult tray with removable changing mats as well as under-seat storage baskets. The right wheel type and size is another important factor to consider when buying a twin buggy. Double buggy wheels with all-terrain capabilities let you easily navigate mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. For even more control choose an automobile with a suspension system to smooth out bumps in the road. If you're planning to use your twin buggy for long walks, you should consider a model with a spacious cargo bag. This will allow you to carry more than two children, and will also make it much easier to keep the track of their belongings. Consider adding sun visors, rain cover and shopping tray to your bag.
