Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are many things to take into consideration. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It is lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy do you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at once, even if they are not of the same age. They can be used as prams and have a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually Lightweight Twin Buggy, fold easily and are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you travel a significant amount, you should make sure that the buggy be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

The most common type of double buggy is the side by side one, which you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a child. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to choose from. These are usually easy to steer, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they will easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. They're generally bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, so it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children by the addition of a buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double infant stroller' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a lightest double stroller by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and a very high resale price. They're generally easy to steer, have a huge storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as 'cinema seating' for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different ages, a double buggy is the best option to move them around. There are two primary types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children are seated in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

Having a younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy can help them to feel included if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

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 bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, such as using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We also recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy double umbrella stroller Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double, which can include the place of a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it has lots of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an automated travel system for your business?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary 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 some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their back or in front of you.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats positioned near each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each one another. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option that has one seat in the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by securing the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to take them on bike rides or day excursions 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 become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you invest in a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life easier, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
