Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from the time 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 a must-have for active families. It will grow with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's light and easy to maneuver and can tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also serve as prams and come with recline mechanisms in each seat so your children can lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and small enough to fit into the car boot. If you travel a significant amount, you should ensure that the buggy can be easily moved with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. They're great for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first, rather than on top. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children by the addition of an extra 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 pram buggy by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and have a high resale price. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the best option to move them around. There are two types of double seat stroller buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

A younger sibling can feel like quite an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the baby. They might be a bit irritated if they are placed in a baby carrier as you push the older one ahead and having a double buggy from birth can make things easier. It can also help your child settle into their new role of big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins, since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also offers different configuration options such as using the second seat as the bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This clever buggy is a single to double pushchair pushchair that can be converted into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a business travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children safely. However, they are not necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you might be able to make do with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around on their backs or in front of you.

If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are next to each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with one seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your infant snuggled comfortably in their car seat until they're ready for a 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 also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions where they prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not always desire to be in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
