Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the perfect 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 an essential item for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you like?

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. Each seat has a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a lot it's important to make sure the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels and to take in and out of your boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other moms' twin strollers for newborns or even ridden in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have a large number of seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to pick from. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with a soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. The second seat is placed behind the first, rather than on the top. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and an infant or three children, with the addition of an extra buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single double stroller-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair twin from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're generally more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high resale value. They're generally easy to steer, have large storage bins 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?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy converts to single buggie is the best way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite a big responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. They may also feel left out when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older one to the side and so having a Off Road Double Buggy buggy right from the beginning will make life easier. It will also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them get used to their new role.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

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

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort however they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You might be able to make do with a single stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that permit your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats near each other, which means your children can see each one another. They are larger than a single stroller, and may be difficult to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat in the front and a back seat. However, they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert a single stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until is ready to step to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the 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 is important to keep in mind that your children might not always like to be in a stroller and might be tired and irritable on longer outings.

So, before you decide to invest in a double buggy from birth be sure to think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life particularly if you have to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
