Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are many things to consider. 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.

This buggy is essential for active families. It will grow with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight and movable, and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy do want?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can be used as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat, so your children can sit or lie down in different positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight they fold easily and are compact enough to fit into the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy's maneuverability with the wheels folded and to take out and into your boot.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have numerous seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to choose from. They're usually easy to drive and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of 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 sits behind the first instead of sitting over it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a traditional side by side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children with the addition of an extra buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double pushchair' 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as cinema seating for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double buggy side by side buggy is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have a baby?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. A double buggy can help children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options including using the second seat as an infant bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who like to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are ideal for bringing your kids around in comfort but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to make do with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are set parallel to each other, so your children will be able to see one another. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with one seat in the front and another in the rear, however they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggy travel system buggies permit you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until he or she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children become older and more capable, you can use double buggys to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they may not always want to be in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you invest in a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
