Comfort

It is essential to have a twin stroller that is comfortable if you plan to take twins on a trip. You can choose a seat that has adjustable calfrests that will keep your kids comfortable, as well as a sun canopy that extends and a large storage bin. Many manufacturers offer extras such as cup holders and rain covers so that you have everything you require on your family outings.

The width of your buggy is an important factor to take into consideration. There are some twins that are slimmer that will fit through standard doors however, you'll need to measure your child and talk with the manufacturer prior to purchasing. It is also necessary to alter your seating arrangement when you have twins of different ages or with different needs.

Safety

The best twin buggies are robust and all-terrain with suspension that can handle gravel, grass paths, and kerbs. Some have two front wheels for extra stability when navigating rough terrain or bumpy roads. Be sure to look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy in the event you let go of the handlebar, so that you can catch it before it flies away. If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller buggy that can transport your children on a walk or run you should check the weight limit. Also, you should test the seat recline to ensure that your children will be comfortable on long runs or walks.

There are a variety of twin buggies including tandem, side-by-side and one-seat. The side-by-side model is ideal for twins and siblings that are close in age. They can both sit together to chat and interact on walks. This kind of twin buggy is narrower than other models, making it easier to maneuver and fit through doorways. However, they may be heavier and have a bigger footprint than single buggies. This makes them feel less stable climbing up the kerbs.

Tandem buggy models are more likely to be double-travel systems, and offer the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots simultaneously. Some models can be enlarged to hold two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower than side-by-side twin buggies, but can still be longer than single buggie models and may not always pass through doors if the manufacturers' 'standard' doors are too narrow.

One-seated models are usually much shorter than other varieties of double buggy, and take up less of the pavement. This makes them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages who would rather sit beside each other and not wake one another up by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be separate in their seat recline, so your little ones can rest comfortably without kicking each one.

Convenience

If your children would like to take their favorite dolls or teddies out on an adventure with them, you can easily do this with a twin buggy. There are many models with seats that allow two children can sit side by side to play together and some have a carry basket that folds up to store everything.

There are twin buggies available in a variety of price ranges. However, it's worth paying a little more to get a model which is user-friendly and will grow with your family.

Design

Whatever model you pick, it's important to find one that fits your family's lifestyle as well as needs.

The majority of twin buggies are side-by-side or tandem, allowing children to sit next to each other or behind. Side-by side models are narrower, easier to maneuver and can be used for children of all ages. Tandems may not be suitable for smaller car boot spaces, but they do allow children to play.

Many brands of twin buggies have many features that parents will adore. You should look for safety harnesses that are adjustable with five points, multiple seat recline choices and a large canopy that can be extended by the hood that peeks out. Some models come with a tray for parents with changing mats that can be removed and under-seat storage baskets.

The proper size and type of wheel is crucial for your twin buggy. Double buggy wheels that have all-terrain capabilities will enable you to navigate through mud, gravel, and uneven surfaces. For even more control choose the buggy that has suspension systems to smooth bumps on the road.
