Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have purchase for active families This buggy will grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams and come with recline mechanisms within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lay down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, you should ensure that the buggy can be easily moved with the wheels folded in your car boot, and then removed.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They're usually easy to drive and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. The second seat is located behind the first, rather than on top. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll 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 an additional buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single double stroller-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double travel stroller 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 the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium resale price. They're generally simple to steer, feature large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and 'cinema seating' for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two main types of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children sit side by side and tandem buggies in which one child is higher than the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

At beginning having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're taking care of the baby. A stokke double stroller buggy can also allow children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best choice for twins as they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as a single twin pushchair from birth but can be converted into a double by adding an additional seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require an automated business travel system?

Double buggies are ideal for bringing your kids around in comfort, but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You could get by with just one stroller, and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to be able to see each other. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat at the front and a second one at the back. However, they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins as well as a toddler and a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more able and able, you can get a double buggy to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always want to be in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. Having a solid and reliable double stroller can make life much easier, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
