Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

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

A must-have investment for active families This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you prefer?

A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into the car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it in and out of your boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs or even ridden in as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is placed behind the first rather than on the top. The seats are typically larger and heavier than a side-by-side and you must ensure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children with the addition of an additional 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 offer lots of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally easy to steer, come with a huge storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary kinds of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children sit together or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have one?

At first the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. They might be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older one to the side, so having a thule double stroller buggy right from the beginning can make everything simpler. It will also help your child get into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens widthways to take two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, such as using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair that can be converted into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a traveling system?

smallest double buggy buggies are great for transporting your children around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to do using a single stroller with certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child around on their back or in front of you.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats near each other, which means your children can see each one another. They are larger than a single stroller and aren't easy to maneuver over kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat in the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he or she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

If your children have grown older and have more stamina, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller and could get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double stroller, think about the factors above and your family's unique situation. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
