Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are a lot of aspects to consider. 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 a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight twin buggy, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What style of buggy do you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at the same time even if they're not of the same age. They can also be used as prams, and they have a reclining mechanism in each seat so your children can lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight double stroller, fold up easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a great amount, you should ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your car boot and removed.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mums strollers or even in one as a kid. They are perfect for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat sits behind the first one, rather than on top of it. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky 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 baby and toddler 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 by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a high resale price. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the best double strollers way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

At first having a younger sibling could feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. They may be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in a baby carrier as you push the older sibling to the side and so having a double buggy from birth will make life easier. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins, since each child will get the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We also recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with an individual pushchair, but it can then be converted into a double, taking the place of a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that permit you and your child to travel on their backs or in front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem double stroller side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are placed parallel to each other, so your children will be able to be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more able, you can use a double buggy to take them to bicycle rides or for day trips where they might prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always desire to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique situation. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
