A double buggy is an excellent option for parents with twins, or even a baby and toddler. Buggies that are narrow can be used to squeeze through small spaces. Side-by-side models allow you to keep the track of your children and ensure their safety while you are navigating the grocery store or in the park. A lot of buggies come with a variety seats so that you can modify them as your child develops. Some even allow you to add a car seat or ride-on board.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can be used to support two seats or a car seat. The adaptors make it easy to convert one seat to a double in merely seconds. It comes with a large pop-out canopy sunshade that has UPF 50+ protection, adjustable legrests and windows that peek out in both seats. A standing fold is simple to perform and fast.
The iCandy Peach tri-fold buggy is another option. They are ideal to navigate narrow aisles and doors.
