Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her suggestions 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 toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle uneven terrain easily.

What style of buggy do you want?

A double travel buggy buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat comes with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light, fold easily, and small enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy's maneuverability using the folded wheels, and to take in and out of your car boot.

The most popular type of double travel buggy buggy is the side-by-side one, which you've likely seen on other moms' Pushchairs Double or even rode in as a child yourself. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on the top. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium cost of resale. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary kinds of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children are seated together, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have a toddler?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. A double buggy may help them to feel included if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role of big brother or sister'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with a unique frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat as a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair that can be converted into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you may be able to do using a single stroller with some attachments, such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you.

If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats positioned near each other, which means your children can see each one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more capable to walk, you can opt for double buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double stroller, think about the above factors and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
