Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double pushchair with car seat buggy, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. 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 an essential item for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do you want?

A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into your car's boot. If you drive a lot it's important to make sure the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the wheels folded and to take out and into your car boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with a large number of seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to choose from. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. The second seat is located behind the first and not on the top. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three children with the inclusion 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer plenty of flexibility and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and have a large storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different ages, a double buggy is the best option to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also be able to accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

At first having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also taking care of the baby. They may also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one along and having a double buggy from birth can make things simpler. It can also help your child settle into their new role as big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side buggies can be a great choice for twins since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options including using the second seat as an infant bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy starts with a single pushchair and can be converted into a double, taking an additional seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are ideal for bringing your kids around in comfort, but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you might be able to get by with a single stroller and certain attachments such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child on their back or in front of you.

If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are placed in a row, so that your children can see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single twin umbrella stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more mobile to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips where they may prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always want to be in a buggy, and they could easily get tired and angry on longer outings.

So, before you make the decision to buy a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A durable and reliable double buggy that converts to single buggy can make life easier, particularly when you have to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
