Buying a Twin Buggy

Comfort

The size of your buggy is an important factor to consider. There are some slimmer twins that can be used through doors that are standard, but you'll have to measure your child and talk with the manufacturer before buying.

They can be adapted to accommodate a parent-facing carrycot or cosido to allow parents to keep an eye on both their infants at all times. The seats have independently reclining options so you can create the perfect position for your child, while the large UPF50+ sun canopy with magnetic peekaboo windows and adjustable calf rests provides plenty of protection from the elements.

Safety

Also, you should check the recline of the seat to ensure that your children are comfortable during long runs or walks.

Side-by-side models are great for twins or siblings very close in age because they offer a space for both to sit together, to converse and interact during walks. This kind of twin buggy may be narrower than other types that makes them more convenient to maneuver and fit through doors. They may be heavier, have a bigger footprint, and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.

Tandem buggy models are more likely to be double pram and pushchair travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be expanded to accommodate two of the same baby car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower and longer than twin buggies that are side-by-side, however they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

One-seaters are typically shorter than other varieties of double buggy and use less road. They are a great option for twins or siblings who want to sit together without waking eachother up by fighting or pulling each hair. Some models are designed to be separate in their reclined seat, so your little ones can rest comfortably without kicking each other.
