Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many things to take into consideration when choosing the ideal double buggy right from 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.

This buggy is essential for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at the same time even if they're not of the same age. They can be used as prams, and they have recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you drive a lot it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it out and back into your car boot.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. They're ideal 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 opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side and you must ensure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or three children by the addition of an additional Twin buggy from birth board.

Lastly there are the'single to double pushchair-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 they offer a lot of flexibility and a high price for resales. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal 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 sits above the other, and side by side buggies. 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 a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a toddler?

At beginning, having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can also allow them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will aid your child in settling into their new role as big brother or sister'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc which has an innovative frame that can be expanded in width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This innovative buggy starts as an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double, which can include a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

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

Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You could use one stroller, and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in the front.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children will be able to be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they are still large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single and double stroller stroller into a double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example - it can be used with twins as well as a toddler and one or more children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more mobile and able, you can get a double buggy to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller and could get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you think about the above points and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy with carrycot stroller will make life much easier especially if you need to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
