Choosing the Best Double Buggy for Your Family
At Baby Accessories, we understand that as a parent finding the right baby equipment can be both exciting and overwhelming.
When it comes to transporting your little ones, especially if you have twins or children close in age, a double buggy becomes an essential piece of equipment. In this guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about double buggies, pushchairs and strollers to help you make the best choice for your family.
A double buggy, also known as a twin stroller or double stroller, is designed to accommodate two children simultaneously. Whether you are running errands around town, going for a walk or heading out on a family adventure, a double buggy ensures that both of your children can travel comfortably and safely.
Types of Double Buggies
Tandem Stroller
With tandem strollers, or in-line strollers, one child sits in front of the other. These types of double strollers are often more compact making them easier to navigate through narrow areas like doorways and shop aisles or through crowded spaces such as shopping centres and busy streets. These durable pushchairs are also perfect for active families who love to explore the outdoors.
At Baby Accessories, we stock a range of inline double buggies, many of which can take a combination of an infant car seat, carrycot and pushchair seat for your toddler and newborn or a combination of both for twins.

Side-by-Side Stroller
Side-by-side strollers, as the name suggests, allow your children to sit next to each other. These models are great for balance and have the added benefit of both kids getting the same view. A popular choice here is the Nipper Double v5 which has a light frame, excellent suspension, air filled tyres and lockable three wheels. These features make it easy to use on pretty much any terrain. The new one-hand quick fold is an incredibly welcome bonus.
Additional Features when choosing your Double Buggy
The team at Baby Accessories have also put together a list of features you may need to consider when shopping for a double buggy.
First up - while the overall aesthetic may be top of the priority list, we’d also recommend looking for a compact pushchair that is easy to fold and store. This is especially important if you have limited space at home or if you need to regularly transport it in your car.
Secondly, a lightweight buggy is easier to push and steer, so we would always advise taking into consideration the overall weight and manoeuvrability of the pram. This will come in handy when managing two kids, shopping bags, coffee and keys! Consider looking at models with swivel wheels for better flexibility.
Next, comfort is key, especially if you are hoping for them to get a nap in while you run errands. Ensure the seats are comfortable and have adjustable recline positions. Padded seats and harnesses will also add extra comfort and safety for your children.
Storage space is also an important feature to look out for. Ample space underneath the buggy itself for snacks, change of clothes, changing bags and other essentials can be a lifesaver when you're out and about for the day.
Choosing the right double buggy is crucial for the comfort and convenience of both you and your little ones. By considering your lifestyle, the buggy's features and your specific requirements, you can find the perfect double stroller that will make every outing enjoyable and hassle-free.
