Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of 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 suggestions on everything from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

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

What kind of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are great for transporting two children at the same time even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams and come with the ability to recline within each seat, allowing your children can lay down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, easy to fold and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a great amount, you should make sure that the buggy be easily moved with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a child. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating options and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They are generally easy to steer, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to effortlessly handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first one, instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a side-by-side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children, with 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 by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and a very high selling price. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous 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 child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit side by side and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

At beginning, having a younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can allow them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also give your child a sense of pride as they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them get used to their new role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered the best option for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair twin that can be transformed into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't required for every family. You might be able to use one stroller, and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children can be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a 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 one stroller into a double buggy by securing the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until he or is able to climb up into the twin buggy from birth seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used with twins or a toddler, one or more children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always want to be in a buggy and could easily be tired and disgruntled on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life especially if you need to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
