Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of aspects to consider. 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.

A must-have for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It is light with great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at the same time, even if they are not of the same age. They can be used as prams, and they have recline mechanisms within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lay down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, easy to fold and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability using the folded wheels, and to take out and back into your boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side by side that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a child yourself. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. These are usually easy to control, and if select a model that has a soft suspension, they will easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on top. They're generally bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair twin from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, have large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best twin buggy method of transporting your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two main kinds of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children sit in a row, side-by-side and tandem buggies in which one baby is above the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have one?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite a big responsibility initially, particularly when you must tend to the baby. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also give your child an immense sense of pride when they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best twin stroller travel double stroller (sneak a peek at this site) choice for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE compact double buggy from Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We also recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as a single pushchair and can be converted into a double by adding the place of a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. You might be able to get by with just a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in front.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are small double stroller that has one seat in the front and a back seat. However, they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used for twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to accompany them to bike rides or day excursions where they might prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.

So, before you make the decision to buy a double stroller from the beginning make sure you take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. Having a solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
