Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to take into consideration when choosing the ideal double buggy from the moment of birth. 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.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at once, even if they are not the same age. They can be used as prams and come with a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are small double stroller enough to fit into your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the wheels folded in your car boot, and then removed.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child. They're great for older siblings or twins who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first, rather than over it. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side, so you should check whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and 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 double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of versatility and a good return on investment. They're generally simple to steer, feature large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method of transporting your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem double stroller buggies which have one child sitting above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate both an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child get into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins, since both children will share the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE double pram buggy from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore. This clever buggy can start as a single pushchair but is then convertible into a double by adding a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require an effective business travel system?

Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. You may be able make do with a single stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats close to each other, meaning that your children will be able see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver through kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example of this - it can be used with twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more able, you can use a double buggy to accompany them on bicycle rides or for day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children may not always like to be in a stroller and could get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
