Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to take into consideration when choosing the ideal double buggy from the time of birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is an essential item for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's light and easy to maneuver and is able to tackle uneven terrain easily.

What style of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not of the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're typically lightweight double buggy, fold easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to make sure that the buggy be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs double, or perhaps ridden in as a child. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with many seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to choose from. They are generally easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. The second seat is located behind the first and not on the top. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a side by side, so you should check whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the inclusion 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 more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium selling price. They're generally easy to steer, come with large storage bins and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some models even come with an integrated ride-on board that can be used as "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

Having a younger sibling can be an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy may allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with 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 often considered the best option for twins as they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy that features an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options such as using the second seat as the bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. You may be able get by with just one stroller and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

If you do opt for a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: double push chair side-by-side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats positioned next to each other, which means your children will be able see each other. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. tandem double stroller buggies provide an alternative that is smaller, with one seat in the front and another in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your infant snuggled comfortably in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example - it can be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children become older and more able and able, you can get a double buggy to take them to bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and can easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
