Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

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

A must-have for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight and movable, and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at the same time, even if they are not of the same age. They can also serve as prams, and they have a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can lay down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, easy to fold and are compact twin stroller enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to ensure that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins and typically have numerous seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to pick from. They're generally easy to drive and, if you opt for a model with soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on top. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and 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 tend to be more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your older child.

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-by-side buggies in which your children are seated side by side or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. They might be feeling a little secluded when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling ahead, so having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything easier. It can also provide your child with a sense of pride as they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins as they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options such as using the second seat for a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Sit n stand double stroller Trailblazer to families who like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone happy.

Do you require a system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children safely. However, they are not 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 like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats close to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option that has one seat in the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby 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 or a toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more able, you can use double buggys to accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always be comfortable in a stroller and could get tired and angry during longer trips.

So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify life, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
