Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of things to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from birth. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight, has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once even if they're not of the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded and to take out and into your boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins and typically have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to choose from. They're generally easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on the top. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children with the addition of an extra buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They tend to be more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best method to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child is seated above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also be able to accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have children?

A younger sibling can be an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy can also allow them to feel included if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including using the second seat as a bassinet or infant carrier.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and are keen to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made a double stroller sale by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and includes a number of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a business travel system?

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children around in comfort but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You may be able get by with just one stroller, and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats close to each other, so your children can see each one another. They are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an alternative that is smaller, with a single seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more mobile, you can use double buggys to accompany them to bike rides or day excursions in which they prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller and could get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the above factors and your family's unique situation. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify your life particularly if you have to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
