Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are plenty of aspects to consider. 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.

A must-have purchase for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It is light, has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can be used as prams and have a reclining mechanism in each seat so your children can sit n stand double stroller or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking 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 kind of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have a large number of seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your children to pick from. They're generally easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular option because they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. They're generally bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children with the addition of an additional buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a Single double Stroller pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're more expensive than tandem double buggy buggies or side-byside buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium resale price. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as "cinema seating" for your older child.

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 types of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children are seated in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have one?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. They might be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older one to the side and having a double single pushchair buggy right from the beginning can make everything simpler. It will aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a good option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options including using the second seat to create the bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair which can be made a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are great for transporting your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. You may be able use one stroller, and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that permit your child and you to ride on their backs or in the front.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side by side as well as convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to be able to see each other. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more able to walk, you can opt for double buggys to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions in which they prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children might not always enjoy being in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify your life especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
