Best Twin Buggy: 10 Things I Wish I d Known Earlier
The best travel double stroller Twin Buggy
This inline double is designed to expand with your family. It offers a variety of seating options that are suitable for twins or kids of different ages. The rubber tires are filled with foam and never go flat and its soft suspension can easily handle the kerbs.
It folds super-flat and meets the weight requirements of airlines gate-checks making it easy to carry around. It also includes a large storage basket under the seat and a four-panel sun canopy.
Leclerc Influencer
The Leclerc influencer is a great option for travelers. Its sleek design, auto-folding and dimensions that are cabin-approved make it a fantastic option. Its folded (and unfurled) width is 47cm. This is slightly larger than the IATA standard 45cm. But, it meets airline hand luggage regulations. It can be stored in overhead lockers on flights (subject to approval by the airline). We found it was easy to clean using just a wipe down, and there were plenty of extras available like footmuffs, nappy and buggy organiser bags that fit onto the handles and hoods that provide UV50+ protection.
We love the way it's so small when collapsed, and that it is able to fit easily into small spaces like shops, narrow alleyways and Jane's tiny terrace house and is even easy to move up and down the stairs. The bumper bar can double as a handle for carrying and there's an enormous, flip-flop-friendly brake with a color-coded indicator. The basket is smaller than some other models but it's still big enough to accommodate an adequate-sized changing bag, and there are also additional traytrays for snacks, drinks and toys.
It's suitable from the moment of birth and can be combined with a Leclerc Baby Carrycot or car seat using adaptors (sold separately). For older children, there's an innovative backrest that flattens for naps or long walks and the smart 5-point harness with magnets is simple to use. It is also super Lightweight Twin Buggy, weighing just 6.6kg. A travel bag is included.
Joie Evalite Duo
The British brand Joie has a goal to "share happiness with parents who are expecting" by creating pushchairs that are "functional and stylish, as well as innovative". The Evalite Duo is their latest twin buggy. It is designed to carry two children at the same time in contrast to the slightly heavier Aire Twin. It also has stadium-style seating that allows both children to see the world around them.
At just over 10kg at just over 10kg, the Evalite Duo is one of the lightest strollers for siblings available. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a Joie car seat or carrycots. It's easy for you to fold or lift, drive, and ride. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate the second child seat.
Out 'n' about says the Evalite Duo's one-handed folding design is an absolute highlight. They were amazed by the speed and ease with which the Evalite Duo comes together. However, they did notice that it's more difficult to navigate bumps and rough terrain than some other models.
They also note that the front seat can't fully recline, and they had to make use of their hands to pull it back down - something they'd prefer not to be forced to do when traveling with children. But, they do agree that the Evalite Duo is a great pushchair that could be perfect with a few tweaks. They also are awestruck by how compact double stroller and small when folded!
iCandy Peach
iCandy Peach is a highly-sophisticated tandem buggy that provides parents with all the options they require. It is compatible with a variety of car seats, and folds easily by using a single-click mechanism. It also comes with plenty of extras that rival brands are charging separately for, such as rain covers and liners.
iCandy's Peach pushchair is a sought-after choice for parents who want to be fashionable due to its modern and stylish premium jersey fabrics. The 2022 version of the Peach has been upgraded with minor tweaks to increase the performance and function without sacrificing aesthetics.
The addition of a ride-on board makes this the perfect option for twins. It is also slightly smaller than the previous Peach models, but that doesn't stop it from providing all the space you could need for your children.
It's a great nipper double buggy stroller for parents who want something that looks great and offers a lot of versatility. It can be used from the beginning as a single stroller then purchase a double-kit for it to transform into a twin buggy. It has a large basket as well as five recline positions to provide maximum comfort for your child. It also comes with an integrated carry strap and a single-handed folding mechanism. It is a bit bulky to store, especially since it folds into two pieces instead of one.
iCandy Orange
This is the top twin buggy you can get. The seats are comfortable and come with luxurious footmuffs or liners which will keep your children warm in cold weather. The carrycot is simple to attach by using the side flaps that open to allow for gate opening. It is comfortable and spacious. The seat and carrycot can be arranged in many configurations and the Orange chassis offers 30 possible combinations.
The wheels are designed to take on rough and concrete terrain, and there's an enormous shopping basket underneath which is ideal for big shopping trips at the supermarket. This pushchair feels smooth to drive and has a light feel and the pedal brake that is rounded is simple to use (but not a flip-flop-friendly model). It's not the easiest one to fold, and the latch that keeps it folded needs two hands to open. After it's folded, the front wheels slide under the basket and the chassis can free-stand easily.
The Orange is a fantastic choice for parents who are fashion-conscious and have a toddler, baby or both. They're looking for a stroller that can adapt to their child. It's a good option for parents who are expecting an additional child in the near future and would like a double pushchair that's adaptable. The iCandy Orange is not cheap however it's a versatile product that it should last for some time and also have a good resale value too. It's also possible to equip it with a buggy board, which will reduce the amount of siblings fighting over seats.
Mountain Buggy Duet
Mountain Buggy, founded by a New Zealander and is part of the Mokopuna Group that also owns Phil and Teds and Baby Jogger is the first pram company to concentrate on double all-terrain pushchairs. The Duet side-by-side twin stroller is sleek and slim and is able to slide through doorways and maneuver well through narrow aisles of shopping. It is one of the smallest, most feature-packed double buggies in the market and has won many awards, including the 2014 Mother & Baby Twin Gold and 2015 Prima Baby Twin Silver.
The seats are narrow enough to allow children of varying ages to sit comfortably together. They are also independently reclining so that kids can choose their preferred position. The large canopies have an adjustable sun visor that can be removed and the storage bin is extremely spacious. It is compatible with two infant car seats with the purchase of car seat adapters and is compatible with almost all brands, which is a huge benefit.
The only issue is the weight. It is heavy at 32.4 pounds and could be difficult to lift out and into of the trunk for Grandma. Additionally, it is more expensive than other side-by-side double buggies. It is built to last, and it offers many advantages for the money. It is a good choice for urban parents who want to avoid lugging a bulky stroller around. The straps are padded, with a 5-point buckle, and padded straps make it safe for infants.
Bugaboo Donkey twin
The Bugaboo Donkey Twin is a beautiful, functional buggy with an elegant design. It's a great product, but it's not without flaws.
It offers very few extra features, both for parents and the kids. The only thing that is provided by the side bin is that it is only available only when one car seat is connected. There are no parent trays cup holders, cups or pockets for accessories, and this could be problematic when you travel for a long time.
The seats also don't recline to a very flat position, and the space between them is a bit wide which is why our 5 year old was unable to lie back with ease. It's unfortunate given that this is a high-end vehicle.
On the positive side, it's easy to maneuver, and the swivel wheels are great at getting up steep slopes and steps. It's also slim enough to fit through most doorways, and it folds easily for easy storage and transportation. It can also be changed back to mono mode in only three clicks, should you require more space or need to make a quick getaway. The comfort wheeled board can also accommodate a third kid if required. It's expensive, but when you're on a tight budget, there are alternatives out there. If you're a fan of the brand and can afford it, it's worth the cost.
