Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

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

A must-have for families with active children This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat comes with a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels and also to get out and back into your boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've likely seen on other moms twin pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to pick from. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you opt for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler or three children 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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They are also 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?

If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the best option to transport them around. There are two kinds 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 fit through doors. Tandems are typically larger overall. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have children?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite a big responsibility initially, particularly when you must tend to the baby. They might also feel left out if they are placed in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling along, so having a double buggy from birth can make things easier. It can also help your child get into their new role of big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins since both children will have the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double stroller buggy with a unique frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat for an infant bassinet.

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

Do you require an effective system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you might be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry 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. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver through the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an easier way to travel with a seat in the front and another in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double stroller buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

Once your children are 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's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth make sure you consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A durable and reliable double buggy can make your life easier, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
