Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. 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.

This buggy is essential for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What style of buggy do you want?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also function as prams. Each seat has a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in the 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 might have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have numerous seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to pick from. They're generally easy to steer and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. They're generally wider than a side-by-side and can be heavy when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport 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 buggy sale by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of versatility and a good resale value. They are easy to steer and come with large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit in a row, side-by-side or tandem double buggy buggies where one baby is above the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have children?

At beginning, having a younger sibling could seem like a lot of responsibility especially if you are also caring for the baby. A double buggy can also help them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also give your child an immense sense of pride when they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their new role.

Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins, since both children will have the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE stokke double stroller by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and are keen to explore. This nifty buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of clever features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are great for bringing your kids around in comfort but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to ride on their backs or in the front.

If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children can be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and may be difficult to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an alternative that is smaller, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double seat Stroller buggies allow you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until is ready to step to the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent illustration - it could be used with twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions where they prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always want to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry on longer outings.

So, before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth, take some time to think about the above points and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate busy streets or overcrowded malls.
