Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are many aspects to consider. 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 a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What style of buggy do want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once, even if they are not of the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining 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. They are often lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels as well as to get it out and back into your car boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms strollers or even in one as a kid. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant 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 are generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and a high resale value. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double buggy is the best way to move them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

Having a younger sibling can feel like an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. They might also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and so having a double buggy right from the beginning will make life simpler. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side double to single buggy buggies are often considered to be the best choice 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 streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat to create a bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This clever buggy can start as a single pushchair and is then convertible into a double, which can include an additional seat, carrycot or car seat (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 need a travel system?

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

If you do opt for a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats positioned near each other, so your children will be able see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double single pushchair buggies are fantastic because they allow you to convert your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until he or is ready to step to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example - it can be used with twins as well as a toddler and a baby or even three children using 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 other day excursions where they prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children might not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable during longer trips.

So, before you decide to purchase a double stroller double from the beginning be sure to think about the above points and the particular circumstances of your family. A durable and reliable double buggy can make life simpler, especially when you are required to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
