Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the time of birth. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is an essential item for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy do you prefer?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light that folds easily and are small enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy's ease of use using the folded wheels, and also to get in and out of your boot.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers or even in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to pick from. They are usually simple to navigate, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first one, instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure 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 an additional buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single and double stroller pushchair from birth then convert to a double stroller for twins by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high cost of resale. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double pushchairs buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a baby?

A younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the baby. A double buggy can allow children to feel included when you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can 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.

Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins since both children will have the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as an individual pushchair, but it can then be converted into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. You might be able to use a single stroller, and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to travel on their backs or in the front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are placed in a row, so that your children can be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to maneuver through kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat in the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until is able to climb to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more able, you can use a double buggy to take them on bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer walking. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always desire to be in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning make sure you think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make your life simpler, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
