Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from the time of birth. 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 grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It is light and movable, and is able to handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams, and they have recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can lay down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are often lightweight they fold easily and are compact twin stroller enough to fit into your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels and also to get out and back into your car boot.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to pick from. They are usually simple to navigate, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle 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 rather than on top of it. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children by the addition of a buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single and double stroller-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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two main kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

Having a younger sibling can be a big responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. A double buggy with car seat buggy can help them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered the best option for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and are keen to explore. This buggy is clever and 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 ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

Do you require an effective business travel system?

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

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children can see one another. They are wider than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver around the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can be still quite large and heavy to push.

Convertible double pram pushchair buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into a double pram pushchair buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

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

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify life particularly if you have to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
