Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double infant stroller buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. We spoke to 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 will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It is light with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit n stand double stroller or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's important to make sure the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the wheels folded as well as to get it out and into your boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They're great for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They are generally easy to steer, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first rather than over it. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a side by side, so you should check whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children by 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 generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem double stroller buggies where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider overall. They can also be able to accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

Being a parent to a child can feel like an enormous responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. They may be feeling a little secluded when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older one to the side and having a double buggy from the start will make life simpler. It can also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. We love the sleek 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 using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are keen to explore. This clever buggy is a single pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require an automated business travel system?

Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You may be able use a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in front.

If you do opt for a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are near each other, so your children will be able see each other. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until he/she is ready to step up into the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example - it can be used for twins, a toddler and an infant, or even three children with 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 trips where they'd prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always enjoy being in a stroller and could be tired and irritable when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make life easier, particularly when you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
