Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are many things to take into consideration. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's light and easy to maneuver and can tackle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy do you want?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams and come with the ability to recline in each seat so your children can lie down in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to make sure that the buggy be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a kid. These are great 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 choose from. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on top. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and an infant 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 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 price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, come with a huge storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different ages, a double buggy is the best way to move them around. There are two kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children sit n stand double stroller in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is placed above the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a toddler?

A younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. A double buggy may make it easier for children to feel included when you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best option for twins because they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as a single pushchair but it can then be converted into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. You might be able to use one stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you 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 set side-by-side, so your children can see one another. However, they are typically larger than a single to double buggy pushchair and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat at the front and a second hand double buggy one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example of this - it can be used with twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more capable to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always want to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry during longer trips.

So, before you make the decision to buy a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy will make life easier, especially when you need to navigate busy streets or overcrowded malls.
