Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

A must-have investment for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do want?

Double buggys are great for transporting two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can be used as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat so your children can sit n stand double stroller or lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily moved with the folded wheels in your car boot and removed.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have numerous seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to pick from. These are usually easy to control, and if choose a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first instead of sitting over it. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a 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're generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and have a great price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, have large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient method of transporting your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child is seated over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seats.

Do you have one?

A younger sibling can feel like quite a big responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy can help them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child get into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat for an infant bassinet.

We also recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This clever buggy can start off as a single pushchair but is then convertible into a double by adding a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you might be able to make do with a single stroller and some attachments, such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child around on their backs or in front of you.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats near each other, so your children will be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate through kerbs. Tandem buggies are small that has one seat in the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

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

As your children grow older and more able to walk, you can opt for double buggys to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life simpler, especially when you are required to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
