Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are plenty of 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.

A must-have purchase for active families This buggy will grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and can tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once, 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 and stand double stroller (visit their website) or lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight twin stroller, easy to fold and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use using the folded wheels, as well as to get it out and back into your boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other moms strollers double strollers, or even in one as a child. They are perfect for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating options, including 'cinema seats'. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on the top. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or three children, 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 stokke double stroller 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 a lot of flexibility and have a high resale price. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

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

Do you have a baby?

At first, having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

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

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and are keen to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as a single pushchair but can be converted into a double, taking a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has lots of thoughtful features to keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are great 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 might be able to make do with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child on their back or in front of you.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. However, these tend to be wider than a single twin pushchair from birth and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

If your children have grown older and have more stamina, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they might prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always like to be in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips.

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