Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

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

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

What type of buggy do want?

A double buggy is perfect for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams and have recline mechanisms in each seat so your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's important to make sure the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels and to take in and out of your boot.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They're ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They also come in various seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They are generally easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first one, instead of on top of it. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be a bit bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport 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 stroller with bassinet by attaching a second seat, carrycot or Double Stroller car seat to their clever frame. They're generally more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great return on investment. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have children?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the baby. They might also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and having a double buggy from the start will make life simpler. It can also give your child a sense of pride as they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their new role.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins since both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options, including the second seat as the bassinet.

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

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your children, you may be able to get by with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and aren't easy to navigate through kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact, with one seat in the front and a back seat. However, they can be heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until is able to climb to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

If your children have grown older and have more endurance, 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 remember that your kids may not always be comfortable in a stroller and could get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
