Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is an essential item for active families. It will grow with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams and come with a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can sit or lay down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, easy to fold and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the folded wheels and also to get out and back into your boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums strollers, or even in one as a child. They're ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating options and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They are generally easy to control, and if opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first instead of over it. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and 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 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, come with a huge storage basket and can 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 best option 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 be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be smaller in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the baby. They might be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and so having a double buggy from the start will make life easier. It will also help your child get into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins since both children will have the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined 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 using the second seat to create the bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that are sure to ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a business travel system?

Double buggies are a great way to transport your children safely. However, they are not necessary for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to make do with just a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child on their backs or in front of you.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats next to each other, so your children will be able see each other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can still be large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your twin umbrella stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet 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 and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day trips where they'd prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable during longer trips.

So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth be sure to consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make life easier, particularly when you need to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
