Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

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

A must-have investment for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you prefer?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams, and they have the ability to recline in each seat, so your children can lay down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the folded wheels as well as to get it out and into your boot.

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

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first instead of over it. The seats are typically wider and bulkier than a side-by-side however, so make sure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler 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 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-by-side buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and have a high resale price. They're generally easy to steer, come with an enormous storage basket and are able to 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?

Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

At beginning having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, particularly if you're also caring for the infant. They might be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in an infant carrier while you push the older one ahead and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything simpler. It can also give your child an immense sense of pride when they become a "big brother or sister" and help them adjust to their new role.

The side-by-side Foldable Double Stroller buggies could be a great choice for twins, since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat for the bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and love to explore. This innovative buggy starts as an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double seat stroller, taking an additional seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a business travel system?

Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't necessary for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child on their backs or in front of you.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats next to each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. They are larger than a single best twin stroller and may be difficult to maneuver over kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a single seat in the front and another in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until is ready to step up into the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example of this - it can be used with twins, a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to remember that your kids may not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
