Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What style of buggy do want?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat comes with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit and stand double stroller in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's important to make sure the buggy's maneuverability with the wheels folded and to take in and out of your car boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a child yourself. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They are generally easy to control, and if select a model that has a soft suspension, they can easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on the top. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and have a high resale price. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best method of transporting your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate both an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a baby?

At first having a younger sibling may seem like a lot of responsibility especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side smallest double buggy buggies are usually considered to be the best twin buggy choice for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat to create the bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy double buggy with car seat Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as a single pushchair but can be converted into a double by adding an additional 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 require a system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are great to transport your children around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. You may be able get by with just one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats near each other, which means your children will be able to see each one another. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, but they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are wonderful as they allow you to transform your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your newborn snuggled up safely 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 capable, you can use a double pushchair with car seat buggy to take them to bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your kids may not always be comfortable in a stroller and could get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning be sure to consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
